Characters

George Borrow has hundreds of characters in his main books (Lavengro, Romany Rye, Bible in Spain and Wild Wales), many drawn directly from life (although sometimes with a name change to disguise their true identity), and as well as characters whose origins are hotly disputed in Borrovian criticism.

The following is are the main characters from the works, although many others exist and the lists are far from comprehensive.  Real people who appear as such are excluded and listed under Friends or Family.
