Lorna Doone

Summary

Lorna Doone, un romance de Exmoor, es una novela con tintes de novela histórica, del escritor inglés Richard Doddridge Blackmore. La acción ocurre en el siglo XVII, en la región de Exmoor (Somerset y Devon, en Inglaterra): en particular en los alrededores de East Lyn Valley. La novela tiene como trasfondo en algunos de sus pasajes la Rebelión del Duque de Monmouth, y la Batalla de Sedgemoor.​ La historia es narrada por su personaje principal, John Ridd, a manera de memorias.​ Fue publicada por primera vez en 1869 en tres volúmenes. El siguiente año se publicó de nuevo en un solo volumen en una edición barata, consiguiendo mucho mayor éxito de ventas y buenas críticas.​ Este libro conserva tal como se escribieron los insultos raciales y de otro tipo de su época; la Guía del libro explica esas palabras donde aparecen.
