Blackmore, Richard Doddridge

    0.02 sec.
Blackmore, Richard Doddridge, 1825–1900, English novelist. Although trained as a lawyer and called to the bar, he abandoned his legal career because of ill health. His reputation rests chiefly on his romantic novel about the 17th-century outlaws of Exmoor, Lorna Doone (1869), but he wrote also 13 other novels—including The Maid of Sker (1872) and Springhaven (1887)—and several volumes of poetry.
