Lorna Doone

By R. D. Blackmore

Heat level

Behind closed doors

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.

Content warnings

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
