This project attests to Borrow's pivotal influence on verbal, visual and performative representations of the 'gypsy' between 1840 and 1945 when, as David Cressy observes, 'more was written in English' about the Romany than 'in any previous period of history'. It also uncovers how Borrow's stylistic idiosyncrasies and formal innovations extend across and between genres, and further into the transitional gaps between life-writing and land-writing and how his books, which were once runaway bestsellers, became side-lined and mere footnotes in the Victorian canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRadford, Andrew D.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Andrew Radford is Senior Lecturer in Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow, UK.
