		Two novels only are of outstanding rank; the Lorna Doone (1869) of Richard Doddridge Blackmore and the John Inglesant (1881, privately printed in 1880) of Joseph Henry Shorthouse.
		In Lorna Doone, the proportion of history is exceedingly small, and the episode of Monmouth’s rebellion of no great significance; the form of the historical romance is modified, therefore, in various ways.
		John Inglesant is a tale of the time of the civil war in England and of the uprising and suppression of the Molinists in Rome; and the fortunes of the hero Inglesant become credibly interwoven in the web of European politics.

	Lorna Doone - Kino on Video
		Lorna Doone was filmed three times before in the silent era, and six times more in the sound era, but the 1922 production directed by Maurice Tourneur is arguably one of the finest, and without a doubt the most beautiful.
		In Lorna Doone, Tourneur uses natural lighting and the landscape to frame his actors with painterly effect, showcasing a very different set of aesthetic values than those of The Blue Bird, with its elaborate stylized sets and costumes.
		This edition of Lorna Doone was transferred from an original print at 18 fps and features a new score for piano and strings by Japanese singer/songwriter and composer Mari Iijima.

		An Ida M. Browne (Audrie Doon) wrote an article, in 1901, which she contributed to the West Somerset Free Press, and the publishers of that journal deemed the matter to be so important that they issued the article as a pamphlet.
		The Christian name 'Lorna', which the novelist has given to his heroin, was never bestowed on any of our family, and I regard it as a pretty and original cognomen, invented by the author, as he has also invented the bygone history of the Doones before they inhabited Devonshire.
		He enquired if the Doones lived thereabouts, and was directed to the Oare Valley, where he sought an interview with the head of the family, Charles Doone, eldest son of Sir Ensor.

		The Doones rushed to their guns at once, and pointed them, and pulled at them; but the Squire’s well had drowned their fire; and then they knew that they were betrayed, but resolved to fight like men for it.
