Book Synopsis
A new scholarly edition of a bold yet overlooked Victorian text that blends the genres of memoir, travelogue, ethnography and the realist novel

Trade Review
"This well-researched and expertly edited new edition enables the reader to understand how Borrow's familiarity with wayfaring and the gypsy community raised their profile in an era of increasing centralisation, and highlights how this work related to current debates around evolution and anthropology. Radford demonstrates the ways in which Borrow's complex narrative voice draws upon post-Romantic ideas of subjectivity and shows how influential Borrow was to become on subsequent authors, ranging from Robert Louis Stevenson to the Dymock Poets." -Roger Ebbatson, Lancaster University
