Lavengro: The Scholar - the Gypsy - the Priest is a semi-autobiographical novel by George Borrow, first published in 1851. The narrative follows an unnamed scholar, reflecting Borrow's own experiences, as he navigates life in 19th-century England, encountering a gypsy and a priest along the way. The book explores themes of identity, culture, and knowledge, particularly through Borrow's fascination with the Romany people. It is notable for its vivid character portrayals and its blend of memoir and fiction, serving as a precursor to its sequel, The Romany Rye.
