George Borrow and His Circle (Esprios Classics)


Book Description

I have to express my indebtedness first of all to the executors of Henrietta MacOubrey, George Borrow's stepdaughter, who kindly placed Borrow's letters and manuscripts at my disposal. To the survivor of these executors, a lady who resides in an English provincial town, I would particularly wish to render fullest acknowledgment did she not desire to escape all publicity and forbid me to give her name in print. I am indebted to Sir William Robertson Nicoll without whose kindly and active intervention I should never have taken active steps to obtain the material to which this biography owes its principal value.

George Borrow, the Man and His Work


Book Description

GEORGE BORROW THE MAN AND HIS WORK originally published in 1908. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. This book, a store of documents, is the harvest of a lifetime of devoted labour, and its bridges many a yawning gulf which aforetime left the Borrovian explorer disconsolate. Here is the explanation of many things in Borrow's life and work which can be explained in no other way.
