About the author

George Henry Borrow was an English author who wrote novels and travelogues based on his own experiences traveling around Europe. Over the course of his wanderings, he developed a close affinity with the Romani people of Europe, who figure prominently in his work. His best known books are The Bible in Spain (1843), the autobiographical Lavengro (1851), and The Romany Rye (1857), about his time with the English Romanichal (gypsies).

Reviews

[Rasmus Kær]

Et ejendommeligt drama, der er ligeså liflig som det var epokedannende. At vores moderne norrøn-lignende-litteratur udspringer fra, at Ewald så den nordiske skjoldmø-muse, gør nok for at dramaet skal læses af alle, der kan få fingrene i den. Sangene i syngespillet er ganske udmærkede. Asa-arven er ikke bare stærk som den er smuk, men endda også poetisk.
