“Blackmore considered the novel a romance and studded it with the high adventure, dramatic set pieces, bloody villainy, and obstacles to love that characterize the genre.”

Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

Lorna Doone is an historical novel of high adventure set in the Southwest of England during the turbulent time of Monmouth's rebellion in 1685. It is also a moving love story told through the life of the young farmer John Ridd, as he grows to manhood determined to right the wrongs in his land, and to win the heart and hand of the beautiful Lorna Doone. Continuously in print since its first publication in 1869, Lorna Doone has remained perennially popular with a wide readership ever since.
