About this book
Norfolk's marshes, waterways and coastal sands frame William A. Dutt's portrait of George Borrow. This short biographical study traces the writer's ties to East Anglia, beginning with his family's life in East Dereham and his early recollections of its church. Dutt treats attachment to place as a key to Borrow's character, setting personal memories beside descriptions of the region's fields, heaths and shore.
The account also visits Borrow's secluded home above Oulton Broad, where a small house and a book-lined summer-house stood close to the marshland. Reflections on Lavengro consider the relationship between lived experience, invention and the portrait an author makes of himself.
