About This Item
Oxford Paperbacks, 1999., 1999. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. Octavo, softcover, near fine in red and white pictorial wraps. This story of Lorna Doone, written by Richard Doddridge Blackmore, It is "a story of robbers, murder, mysterious sounds, and a beautiful girl held prisoner." 680 pp. This is the only critical edition of this perennially popular story. Sally Shuttleworth's introduction finds, beneath the idyllic evocation of rural bliss and a tale of love and high adventure, a startling sub-text which rigidly defends Victorian values, and portrays a `manly' hero constantly having to prove his masculinity to himself.
