Travelling Across Cultures: George Borrow's Wild Wales

George Hyde

Kyoto Women's University

George Borrow's Wild Wales has proved to be the most enduring of his books. Even though contemporary reviewers pointed out its deficiencies as a travel guide, its detailed itineraries and brisk realism have kept it before the eyes of the common reader. Its idiosyncratic deployment of the author's knowledge of the Welsh language and Welsh poetry make it a fascinating contribution to the literature of the ‘Celtic Question’ in Victorian culture as discussed by (among others) Matthew Arnold. Borrow's approach to language is ahead of its time.
