1869 Blackmore Doone Encounter Lorna Meets Ridd Stream
EDITORS COMMENTS
Lorna Doone Meets John Ridd by a Stream: An Encounter That Ignites a Romance in R.D. Blackmore's Classic Novel (First published: 1869) This image, published in 1869, captures the moment of first encounter between Lorna Doone and John Ridd as they meet by a tranquil stream. In R.D. Blackmore's timeless novel, Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor, this chance meeting sets in motion a passionate and tumultuous love story. John Ridd, a gallant and resourceful young man, is shown here in the act of fishing for loaches, a common practice in the rural Exmoor region where the novel is set. Lorna Doone, a beautiful and enigmatic young woman, approaches him unawares, her curiosity piqued by the sight of this solitary figure in the idyllic landscape. The encounter between Lorna and John marks a turning point in the novel, as their initial attraction quickly develops into a deep and enduring love. However, their union is fraught with danger, as they are forced to contend with the machinations of the notorious Doone family, who have long held Lorna captive and covet her for their own. This evocative print, with its lush greenery, clear waters, and the enchanting figures of Lorna and John, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Blackmore's novel, which has captivated readers for over a century. With its rich historical detail, intricate plot, and unforgettable characters, Lorna Doone remains a beloved classic of English literature, and this image serves as a fitting reminder of the timeless power of love and the human spirit.
