R. D. Blackmore Libri
Richard Doddridge Blackmore fu un celebre romanziere inglese, rinomato per le sue vivide descrizioni e personificazioni della campagna. Condividendo un forte senso del contesto regionale e una profonda simpatia per la natura, in modo simile a Thomas Hardy, i suoi scritti furono notati per queste qualità sorprendenti. Considerato un pioniere del nuovo movimento romantico nella narrativa, spesso definito "l'ultimo vittoriano", la sua eredità letteraria fu consolidata dal suo capolavoro, che ha mantenuto una notevole popolarità dalla sua pubblicazione. Sebbene la sua più ampia produzione sia caduta nell'oblio, questo capolavoro romantico continua ad affascinare i lettori.
