George Borrow (1803 1881) was a British author, adventurer, and
agent of the Bible Society whose journeys in the mid-nineteenth
century took him to both Russia and Spain. His experiences are
reflected in books including The Zincali (1841) and his best-known
publication, The Bible in Spain (1843). Described by Borrow as 'the
journey, adventures, and imprisonment of an Englishman in an
attempt to circulate the scriptures in the peninsula', it is mostly
a compilation of his voluminous correspondence with the Bible
Society. This third volume includes the story of Borrow's arrest
and imprisonment for his efforts at distributing the New Testament.
The book, at once an exotic travelogue and a document revealing the
religious tensions of the period, was enthusiastically received by
early Victorian readers.
