Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest

1851

Borrow's autobiographical novel of a young man's drift through England, from a soldier's childhood and a Norwich apprenticeship to hack writing in London and a forge in the Mumper's Dingle. Gypsies, prizefighters, an Armenian merchant and the tinker's wife Isopel Berners pass through its hundred chapters.
