Autorenporträt

Francis Hindes Groome (1851-1902) was a British author and notable scholar in the fields of folklore, gypsy lore, and local history, whose impressive oeuvre has earned him a respected place in the annals of English literature. Born in Suffolk, Groome was endowed with an insatiable curiosity for the variety of human experiences, particularly those at the margins of society. His scholarly pursuits led him to compile and narrate the traditions and tales of the Roma people, most famously in his work 'Gipsy Folk-tales' (1899), which provided an invaluable anthology of stories previously transmitted only orally within these communities. 'Two Suffolk Friends' is another significant contribution that reflects his deep engagement with the customs and history of his native Suffolk. Groome's literary style is notable for its detail-oriented approach and sympathetic treatment of alternative lifestyles and beliefs. This blend of scholarship with compassionate storytelling sets his work apart and makes him a distinct voice in Victorian letters. His contributions extend beyond his books to articles in journals such as 'The Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society', of which he was one of the original members. Groome's dedication to capturing the lived experiences and folklore of the gypsy communities has left a lasting legacy for future generations of folklorists and anthropologists.
