| Summary | "The Life of George Borrow" by Clement King Shorter is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of George Borrow, a well-known figure known for his travels and literary works, exploring his familial background, early life, and the influences that shaped his eccentric and wandering character. The opening of the biography sets the stage for George Borrow's life, detailing his birth in Dumpling Green, Norfolk, and the impact of his family's nomadic lifestyle due to his father's military service. The narrative introduces his parents, Captain Thomas Borrow and Ann Perfrement, highlighting their unique backgrounds and how these factors contributed to Borrow's traits and inclinations toward vagabondage. It provides insights into his family dynamics, particularly the contrast in favor given to his elder brother, John, and establishes a sense of place and time that will be pivotal in understanding Borrow's later pursuits and adventures as a writer and traveler.
