Autorenporträt
George Borrow (1803-1881) was a British author known for his works of travel and adventure, drawn from his own experiences living among the Romani people and his extensive travels throughout Europe. His writing style is characterized by a blend of ethnographic observation and romanticized narrative, often reflecting his own liberal and somewhat unconventional views for the time. Borrow's most famous work is arguably 'The Bible in Spain' (1842), where he recounts his endeavors as an agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society attempting to distribute Protestant literature in Catholic Spain. 'A Supplementary Chapter to the Bible in Spain' elaborates further on these adventures, serving as an addendum to the original narrative. His other notable works include 'Lavengro' (1851) and 'The Romany Rye' (1857), both semi-autobiographical novels that document the life and language of the Romani people with whom he became closely acquainted. Borrow's literary contributions extend beyond storytelling; he had a profound interest in language and translated numerous works, including those from the Romani. Despite his deep immersion in other cultures and his efforts to share these experiences with a wider audience, George Borrow's popularity waned after his death. However, his works have continued to receive scholarly attention for their depiction of 19th-century social landscapes and linguistic studies.
