This work is called a "romance," because the incidents, characters,
time, and scenery, are alike romantic. And in shaping this old
tale, the Writer neither dares, nor desires, to claim for it the
dignity or cumber it with the difficulty of an historic novel.
And yet he thinks that the outlines are filled in more
carefully, and the situations (however simple) more warmly colored
and quickened, than a reader would expect to find in what is called
a "legend." And he knows that any son of Exmoor, chancing on this
volume, cannot fail to bring to mind the nurse-tales of his
childhood -- the savage deeds of the outlaw Doones in the depth of
Bagworthy Forest, the beauty of the hapless maid brought up in the
midst of them, the plain John Ridd's Herculean power, and (memory's
too congenial food) the exploits of Tom Faggus.
R.D. Blackmore
March, 1869
Dramatized from the novel by R. D. Blackmore. Exmoor's haunting
beauty dominates this irresistible blend of romance and adventure
that is R.D. Blackmore's famous novel, here superbly adapted for
the stage. Spanning thirteen years, all the characters are present
from the ruthless Doones to the peace-loving Ridds; from the
highwayman Tom Faggus to Hanging Judge Jeffreys. But the love of
John Ridd for Lorna Doone remains firmly at the heart of the
play.Large flexible cast

secondary and adult students the Oxford Bookworms Library has seven

First published in 1869, "Lorna Doone" is the story of John Ridd, a
farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of
seventeenth-century England. He is just a boy when his father is
slain by the Doones, a lawless clan inhabiting wild Exmoor on the
border of Somerset and Devon. Seized by curiosity and a sense of
adventure, he makes his way to the valley of the Doones, where he
is discovered by the beautiful Lorna. In time their childish
fantasies blossom into mature love?a bond that will inspire John to
rescue his beloved from the ravages of a stormy winter, rekindling
a conflict with his archrival, Carver Doone, that climaxes in
heartrending violence. Beloved for its portrait of star-crossed
lovers and its surpassing descriptions of the English countryside,
"Lorna Doone" is R. D. Blackmore's enduring masterpiece.
A romantic adventure story set in south-west England in the 1600s.
John Ridd swears revenge upon the evil Carver Doone who murdered
his father. But who is the beautiful young girl he meets in Doone
Valley?
