The Spring 2011 George Borrow Bulletin is now out (Series 2,
No. 2).
The Bulletin covered the Sixth Memorial Fraser Lecturer by David Chandler on the elusive Joseph Sell book that Borrow gives an account of in Lavengro. It’s been a topic solved many times, only for the solution to turn out to be very wrong (often in a humorous way) and David provided not only a history but many insights into what Borrow was doing.
We then have accounts of Borrow’s Norwich friend My excellent friend Rossi and Borrow’s translation into Manchu. Peter Misler’s excellent book The Treasure Hunter of Santiago had come out and was reviewed. Balancing that we had a review of Borrow’s Sleeping Bard, written when it was published. That and lots of other odds and ends all new and only just discovered.
Back copies of the Bulletin are available: see our link on the Bulletin on the left hand side of this page.
Finally, if your looking for a specific topic and need to know which Bulletins covered it (and an awful lot has been covered), you are best to click on our indexes, again to the left of this page. The Series 1 Index covers all the Bulletins upto Spring 2010; with Series 2 covering all those from that date (including this one).
