Transcribed from the 1900 Ward, Lock and Co. edition by David Price
"The Romany Rye" by George Borrow is a novel written in the late 19th century. It serves as a sequel to Borrow's previous work "Lavengro" and likely continues to explore themes surrounding the Romani culture and the author's personal encounters within that world. Central to this narrative is the character Borrow himself, who interacts with various Romani individuals while reflecting on philosophical and social themes. The opening of "The Romany Rye" begins with Borrow's reflections on his previous book and the controversies surrounding it, establishing a tone of personal accountability and introspection. In the initial chapters, he describes a scene in a dingle where he awakens in a natural setting, engages in practical tasks like repairing a chaise, and interacts warmly with Romani characters such as Belle and a postillion. These interactions reveal Borrow's respect for the Romani culture, establishing a foundation for his explorations of deeper philosophical discussions and societal critiques throughout the work. The narrative blends elements of adventure, cultural observation, and personal growth, setting a richly textured atmospheric base that hints at the social dynamics Borrow will further investigate.
