In The Romany Rye, George Borrow picks up the narrative right where his previous work Lavengro left off, creating a seamless continuation of his compelling tale. Borrow viewed both works as a single entity, aiming to promote values such as virtue, patriotism, knowledge, and genuine faith—particularly that of the Church of England—while fostering a disdain for all forms of nonsense and priestcraft, especially those from Rome. However, this description only scratches the surface of a book that defies easy classification. Blending autobiography, travelogue, and sharp invective, Borrow’s vibrant prose invites readers on an unforgettable journey through early to mid-nineteenth century England. Along the way, youll encounter a cast of unforgettable characters, from a transformed innkeeper who rejects Papism to a cheerful rat catcher, a hapless bank note forger, a wistful beekeeper brewing mead, and a grief-stricken widower learning Chinese through pottery. Youll discover the secrets of horse trading, the history of Hungary told by an expert, the challenges of romance with an Armenian, and much more—each story narrated in some of the most captivating mid-nineteenth century English prose youll ever read.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction アート 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
