The Romany Rye: A Sequel to "Lavengro
1857
The Romany Rye, published in 1857 by George Borrow, is a sequel to his earlier work Lavengro. The novel explores Romani culture and identity through the experiences of its protagonist, a 'Gypsy Gentleman' who navigates life among the Romany people in 19th-century England. Borrow draws on his own vagabond years in the 1820s, depicting a world rich with diverse characters and the complexities of societal norms before the advent of the Industrial Revolution. This work serves as a unique eyewitness account of a vanishing lifestyle and culture.

“Youth is the only season for enjoyment, and the first twenty-five years of one's life are worth all the rest of the longest life of man, even though these be spent in penury and contempt, and the rest in possession of wealth, honors, respectability.””
— George Borrow
