D. Blackmore is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the lush backdrop of Exmoor, England, and revolves around themes of love, revenge, and the struggles of the common man against nefarious outlaws. The protagonist, John Ridd, a humble yeoman, is determined to seek justice for his father's murder at the hands of the infamous Doone outlaws, while also navigating his feelings for the beautiful Lorna Doone, who is intertwined with this dangerous family. The beginning of the novel introduces John Ridd’s character and background, detailing his upbringing in a rural parish and the close ties to his family. It recounts his education and the convivial atmosphere of his school days, contrasting sharply with the harsh reality he faces after the tragic death of his father. John’s journey into manhood is marked by conflicts, both personal and societal, as he confronts the violent Doone clan. The narrative weaves in local customs and the distinct culture of Exmoor, providing readers with a vivid sense of place and character as they witness John’s transformation from a carefree boy into a determined young man bent on avenging his father.
