George Borrow Research

The main contemporary vehicles for research into Borrow's life and works have been the George Borrow Bulletin, edited by Ann Ridler, and a series of paperback publications she began in 2014 published by the Lavengro Press. The Bulletin ceased publication in 2018, but we hope in future to make back copies available through this website. See Bulletin for a listing of the contents in each issue.

The following is a list of some of the more interesting articles about George Borrow available on the web:

• Borrow’s Gypsies Blog, including 'A Lying Tale: Fact and Fiction in the Stories of Borrow’s Gypsies' by Anne Marie Ford, 'The 1812 Overture' by David Nuttall, and useful links to Romany matters
• The Enigma of George Borrow by Jack Ross
• George Borrow: The Literary Legacy by Jacqueline Banerjee

GBS member David Price has done a sterling job over the last twenty years compiling a George Borrow website which contains a wealth of information about George Borrow. He has also spent hundreds of hours copying and and transferring a vast amount of material to Project Gutenberg. Of particular interest are the following pages on his website:

• George Borrow Works
• George Borrow People
• George Borrow Places
• George Borrow Timeline
• George Borrow Publishers

We hope to publish new research into all aspects of George Borrow’s life and works. We welcome contributions from our members. If you have written something that you think might be appropriate for our Members' Articles page, please email a copy to our website editor Peter Ansell.
