Lorna Doone : a romance of Exmoor
Blackmore, R. D. (Richard Doddridge), 1825-19001999
Book
A critical edition of this popular story. Sally Shuttleworth's introduction finds beneath the idyllic evocation of rural bliss and a tale of love and high adventure, a sub-text which rigidly defends Victorian values, and portrays a "manly" hero constantly having to prove his masculinity to himself.
