 Berkshire History: Biographies: Richard Doddridge Blackmore (1825-1900)
Richard Doddridge was the son of John Blackmore, the curate-in-charge of Longworth in Berkshire.
Richard was brought up by his aunt, Mary Frances Knight, and her husband, Rev. Richard Gordon, at Elsfield in Oxfordshire; while his father returned to Devon, his childhood home.
Richard's wife died in 1888 but he lived on at Gomer House, under the watchful eyes of her nieces, Eva and Adalgisa Pinto-Leite.

 1716 - ESSAY UPON WIT by Sir Richard Blackmore - Sir Richard Blackmore at HistoricalBookArchive.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Sir Richard Blackmore contributed his share to the growing wave of bourgeois morality, which in the 18th century was reflected in the middle-class appeal of Addison and Steel, Lillo's _London Merchant_, and Richardson's almost feminine plea for virtue rewarded.
Blackmore's supporters answered _Commendatory Verses_ with _Discommendatory_ _Verses on Those Which are Truly Commendatory, on the Author of the Two Arthurs, and the Satyr against Wit_.
Blackmore's _Essay upon Wit_ appeared in his _Essays upon Several Subjects_; the one-volume first edition of this work was published in 1716 and was followed by the second edition, in two volumes, the following year.

 Sir Richard Blackmore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In the early part of Blackmore's time a citizen was a term of reproach; and his place of abode was another topick to which his adversaries had recourse, in the penury of scandal.
Blackmore, therefore, was made a poet not by necessity but inclination, and wrote not for a livelihood but for fame; or, if he may tell his own motives, for a nobler purpose, to engage 'poetry in the cause of virtue.'
Blackmore's prose is not the prose of a poet; for it is languid, sluggish, and lifeless: his diction is neither daring nor exact, his flow neither rapid nor easy, and his periods neither smooth nor strong.

Blackmore seems to believe not only that there is no cartesian theather, a place where all consicousness comes together, (which is right), but that it is impossible that consicousness could be located anywhere at all.
Blackmore is a parapsychologist who rejects the paranormal, a skeptical investigator of near-death experiences, and a practitioner of Zen.
Blackmore's discussion of the "memeplexes" of religion and of the self are sure to be controversial, but she is (as Dawkins says) enormously honest and brave to make a connection between scientific ideas and how one should live one's life.

Dryden’s quarrel with Sir Richard Blackmore seems to have arisen, not (as Johnson thought) out of the “City Knight or Knight Physician’s”; virtuous preface to his King Arthur (1695), but, rather, from the reflection, in his Satyr on Wit (1699), on Dryden for the “lewd alloy” in his writings.

The conclusion is that one must alter Johnson’s final verdict slightly.
He says that “whoever judges of this by any other of Blackmore’s performances will do it injury.” We should say that, in order to enjoy or endure Creation, at least one, and, if possible, more, of Blackmore’s other performances ought to have been mastered.

What is certain is that Richard Blackmore, living at his father's rectory in the village of Oare on Exmoor, knew of the Doones, and published his historical novel in 1869.
Blackmore set his fictional story in the real landscape, describing the moorland and coastal scenery, and relishing the resonant place names: Cloven Rocks, The Devil's Cheesewring, Slocombeslade, Black Barrow Down.
What Blackmore saw at Badgworthy were the archaeological traces of one of the best preserved deserted medieval settlements in the west of England, mapped for the first time by the English Royal Commission during a recent survey of Exmoor (see inset).
