Did you know about George Borrow?

But the eagerly awaited Lavengro (1851) and The Romany Rye (1857) puzzled many readers who were not sure how much was fact and how much fiction (a question debated to this day). Borrow depicts Taylor an advocate of German Romantic literature in his semi-autobiographical novel Lavengro (1851). During his two-year sojourn in Russia Borrow called upon writer Alexander Pushkin.
