About This Book

The volume presents a transcript of a mid-19th-century travel notebook that records a swift tour of southwestern Wales, offering episodic observations of coastal and inland scenery, inns, local characters, and many place‑names written phonetically. Editors annotate the manuscript, note difficulties reading the pencilled shorthand, trace Borrow's route on foot, interview local informants, and supply identifications and commentary to situate fragmented entries and correct orthography where possible.
