Autoren-Porträt von George Borrow
George Borrow (1803-1881) was a noted English author and traveler, recognized for his idiosyncratic style and adventurous life. Born in Norfolk, Borrow's early experiences with Romany culture made a profound impression and enriched his literary works. His writing, characterized by a vivid portrayal of characters and an unorthodox narrative flow, often reflected his own experiences and wanderings. A polyglot proficient in over twenty languages, Borrow's fascination with linguistics and the Romani language profoundly shaped his literary contributions. While 'The Pocket George Borrow' is an accessible introduction to his writing, it is his masterpieces such as 'Lavengro' and 'The Romany Rye' that established his standing as an expert on Romany culture and an unconventional storyteller. His semiautobiographical works dwell not only on the themes of travel and cultural encounters but also on life's existential quandaries, explored with a blend of realism and Romantic sensibility. Borrow's legacy extends beyond letters, influencing the travel writing genre and offering a captivating window into the life of a true wanderer. Scholars often emphasize the individualism and insight found in Borrow's works, reflecting a life lived boldly beyond the conventions of Victorian England.
