R. D. Blackmore

    Richard Doddridge Blackmore was a celebrated English novelist, renowned for his vivid descriptions and personification of the countryside. Sharing a strong sense of regional setting and deep sympathy with nature, much like Thomas Hardy, his writings were noted for these striking qualities. Considered a pioneer of the new romantic movement in fiction, often called the "Last Victorian," his literary legacy was cemented by his magnum opus, which has maintained considerable popularity since its publication. Though his wider body of work has fallen into obscurity, this romantic masterpiece continues to captivate readers.
