"George Borrow" by H. C. Beeching is a sermon delivered at Norwich Cathedral in the early 20th century, specifically in 1913. This work serves as a commemorative reflection on the life and ideals of George Borrow, who was a notable writer and translator known for his deep engagement with various cultures and the Romani people. Beeching, as the Dean of Norwich, emphasizes Borrow's significant contributions to literature and his association with the biblical and moral philosophies that shaped his worldview. In this sermon, Beeching highlights Borrow's unique ideal of life, which he derived from his interactions with nature and diverse cultures, particularly the Romani people. The core of Borrow's philosophy revolves around self-respect, perseverance, and a love for the natural world, distinct from the constraints of urban civilization. Beeching asserts that Borrow’s writings reveal a deep connection between religion and literature, advocating for a life that embraces both spiritual providence and moral integrity. The sermon ultimately positions Borrow as a vital figure who called for appreciation of both individual freedom and communal responsibility, drawing on his belief in divine guidance in personal and societal endeavors.
