About this book
Clement King Shorter approaches George Borrow through the people who knew him and the letters they left behind. This 1913 biography draws on Borrow's manuscripts, family papers and correspondence with Sir John Bowring, placing the writer among relatives, publishers and literary friends. Its chapters follow his wandering childhood, his Norwich years, his work with the Bible Society and his visits to Spain, before turning to the books that made his reputation.
Shorter also weighs Borrow's writing against the circumstances of publication. The discussion of The Gypsies of Spain follows its early sales and Richard Ford's advice that Borrow write more about his own experiences.
