"George Borrow and His Circle" by Clement King Shorter is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the life of George Borrow, an eccentric author and linguist known for his interactions with various cultures and his adventures, particularly among the Romani people. The biography aims to shed light on Borrow's life and friendships, including many previously unpublished letters that reveal insights into his character and experiences. The opening of the book introduces George Borrow's background, detailing his birth into a peripatetic life influenced by his father's military career. It describes how Borrow spent his childhood traveling with his family, moving frequently from one place to another, which likely fostered his later wanderlust and fascination with different cultures. Additionally, it hints at the complexity of his family dynamics, especially the strong bond he shared with his mother, and sets the stage for exploring Borrow's relationships and formative experiences that shaped his literary career. This foundation establishes a rich narrative about a remarkable figure whose life was as colorful and varied as his writings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 68.1 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
