Blackmore is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Sir Thomas Upmore, who experiences unusual adventures and challenges that relate deeply to both his identity and his relationship with science and society. The text hints at themes of familial expectations, identity, and the interplay of personal ambitions against societal norms. At the start of the narrative, Sir Thomas is introduced as a person of significant curiosity, who recounts moments from his childhood that are suggestive of his potential for greatness. As he reflects on public fascination with his supposed abilities, he expresses a desire to assert his own narrative against the backdrop of scientific scrutiny, highlighting early interactions with his family, particularly his parents, who stand at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to his education and upbringing. This opening sets a whimsical and introspective tone for the tale, suggesting a blend of humor and earnest exploration of identity, as well as a critique of societal expectations, especially through the lens of Thomas's awkward inclination to rise above the ground, both literally and metaphorically.
