Autoren-Porträt von George Borrow
George Borrow (1803-1881) was a quintessentially British author known for his novels and travelogues, which vividly depicted the lives of the marginalized Romani people. Born in East Dereham, Norfolk, Borrow developed a voracious appetite for languages and travel at a young age, which would shape much of his literary work. His adventures among various ethnic groups across Europe lent authenticity to his portrayals of the itinerant lifestyle. 'The Romany Rye' is a sequel to his semi-autobiographical work, 'Lavengro.' In it, Borrow continues to blend elements of memoir with fiction, showcasing his encounters with the Romani people and his fascination with the Romani language. Borrow's narrative style is characterized by a mixture of realism and romanticism, evident in his rich depictions of the natural landscape and his idealization of the nomadic life. His works are not only valuable for their literary merit but also provide a unique socio-linguistic insight into 19th-century Romani culture. Despite facing controversy for his occasionally romanticized portrayals, George Borrow remains a significant figure in the canon of British literature, whose observational prowess and linguistic passion brought to light the stories of those living on the fringes of society.
