"Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor" by R. D. Blackmore is a novel written in the late 19th century. This romantic tale is set against the captivating backdrop of Exmoor and follows the life of John Ridd, a yeoman who becomes embroiled in the tumultuous events surrounding the notorious Doone family. The narrative promises themes of love, honor, and vengeance as it explores the conflicts between the law-abiding folk and the outlaws who threaten their way of life. At the start of the story, we are introduced to John Ridd, who reflects on his upbringing and education in a grammar school in Tiverton. As he describes his memories and experiences with his father and friendships, a sense of innocence is conveyed. However, the tale soon shifts into darker territories as it reveals the chilling impact of the Doones, a band of outlaws who bring violence to the countryside, culminating in John's father's gruesome murder at their hands. This tragic event sets the stage for John's quest for justice and his complex entanglement with the beautiful Lorna Doone, who is caught between her familial loyalty and the love she develops for him.
