Summary "George Borrow: The Man and His Books" by Edward Thomas is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life, identity, and literary contributions of George Borrow, showcasing his compelling narratives and reflections on his self-exploration. Drawing upon Borrow's own writings, it delves into how his personality and life experiences shaped his unique voice in literature. At the start of the work, the author sets the tone by acknowledging Borrow's tendency to write about himself, presenting the challenge and impertinence of narrating his life. Edward Thomas emphasizes the significance of Borrow's self-portraits in his books, suggesting that they evoke strong impressions that resonate even decades after his death. The opening chapters discuss Borrow's autobiographical tendencies and how his works often fuse fact with fiction, as well as hint at the mystery surrounding his remarkable life experiences, such as his association with the Gypsy community, and how they are portrayed in literature.
