Cradock Nowell
''Cradock Nowell: a tale of the New Forest'' is a three-volume novel by R. D. Blackmore published in 1866. Set in the New Forest and in London, it follows the fortunes of Cradock Nowell who is thrown out of his family home by his father following the suspicious death of Cradock's twin brother Clayton. It was Blackmore's second novel, and the novel he wrote prior to his most famous work ''Lorna Doone''.
==Title and writing==
''Cradock Nowell'' was Blackmore's second novel, following the publication of ''Clara Vaughan'' in 1864.〔"Blackmore" entry in ''Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia Of Literature'' (1995), Merriam-Webster.〕 Blackmore adopted the name "Cradock Nowell" from a former owner of Nottage Court in Glamorganshire – the house where Blackmore spent some of his childhood.〔"Blackmore, Richard Doddridge" entry in ''Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement''〕 The name is conspicuous on a tablet in the church of Newton Nottage, which Blackmore said he used to gaze at as a child during the sermon.〔 The main setting for ''Cradock Nowell'' is the New Forest in Hampshire. Blackmore only knew Hampshire from visits and fishing trips, and relied on the 1863 book ''The New Forest: Its History and Scenery'' by John Wise.〔Max Keith Sutton, (1979), ''R. D. Blackmore'', pages 41–2. Twayne〕 ''Cradock Nowell'' is notable for its evocative descriptions of landscape, the seasons, and the weather, which would prove to be characteristic of his next novel ''Lorna Doone''.〔Ernest Albert Baker, (1924), ''The History of the English Novel'', page 291. Rowman & Littlefield〕
Blackmore experienced some editorial meddling when writing the novel. He would later write to a friend that: "''Cradock Nowell'' was spoiled by ''Macmillan's Magazine''. I was repeatedly interfered with, and never left to my own course."〔Waldo Hilary Dunn, (1956), ''R. D. Blackmore : the author of Lorna Doone, a biography'', page 116〕 He would later revise and release a new edition of the novel in 1873.〔
