Summary "George Borrow, the Man and His Work" by R. A. J. Walling is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and literary contributions of George Borrow, exploring his complex character, influences, and relationships, particularly focusing on his interactions with gypsies and his unique understanding of language and culture. The opening of the biography establishes the context for Borrow's life, starting with a vibrant dialogue between two young men, one a curious Englishman and the other a swarthy gypsy. The discussion reflects themes of life, death, and the pursuit of knowledge that are prevalent throughout Borrow's writings. The text introduces Borrow's early experiences, including encounters with gypsies, and sets the stage for describing how these experiences influenced his later works and philosophy. It highlights Borrow's penchant for exploration, both of the physical world and of linguistic and cultural boundaries, all of which contribute to his reputation as a significant figure in literature.
