Lavengro: the Scholar - the Gypsy - the Priest
Edited by Theodore Watts-Dunton
"Lavengro: the Scholar - the Gypsy - the Priest" by George Borrow is a work published in 1851 that blends memoir and novel. Following a protagonist named George from his childhood in military barrack towns through England, Scotland, and Ireland, the story traces his journey from lawyer's apprentice to London hack writer to wandering tinker. Along the way, he encounters Romany travelers who leave lasting impressions. The narrative continues directly in its sequel, "The Romany Rye," making both books essential companions in this unconventional autobiographical tale.
