Summary

"A Bibliography of the Writings in Prose and Verse of George Henry Borrow" by Thomas J. Wise is a detailed listing of the writings of George Henry Borrow, created in the early 1900s. It acts as a complete record, giving careful explanations of Borrow's books, poems, and articles. The bibliography looks into Borrow's writing life, with a focus on his poetic creations, and points out how important his translations and unique writings are. It begins by making clear the book's intention, which is to lay out Borrow's writing successes and the story of how his works were published. Wise talks about Borrow's versions of Northern Ballads and poems, showing how they mirror Borrow's experiences and passions. It also brings up the difficulties Borrow had in getting praise for his poetry, which he treasured even though critics didn't love it. Wise wants to fix how people see Borrow's writing heritage, implying that his work should be valued more than it was when first released.
