عن المؤلف
Richard Doddridge Blackmore, commonly known as R. D. Blackmore, was an English novelist of the Victorian era, renowned primarily for his classic work, ‘Lorna Doone’ (1869), which melded romance and history into a tale of high adventure. Born on June 7, 1825, in Longworth, Berkshire, Blackmore pursued a literary career alongside his profession as a solicitor. He was considered a pioneer of the new Romantic movement in fiction at a time when the literary scene was dominated by realism. Blackmore’s writing was characterized by its vivid descriptions of landscape, a talent reflective of his deep love for the English countryside, as evidenced by his lyrical portrayal in ‘Erema; Or, My Father’s Sin’ (1877). Although less celebrated than his other works, ‘Erema’ showcases Blackmore’s deft storytelling, exploring themes of identity and redemption, and offering an insightful look into the societal views of the era. Blackmore’s style reflects the shifting currents of his time, often emphasizing pastoral life and chivalric virtues, alongside a keen interest in the historical background of the settings he portrayed. His contribution to literature is marked by his intuitive coupling of complex characters with the elemental forces of nature, a signature aspect of his literary voice. Despite declining health in later years, Blackmore remained a prominent figure in English literature until his death on January 20, 1900.
