Though best known as an adventurer who entered Mecca in disguise and sought the source of the White Nile, Richard Burton contributed so forcefully to his generation that he provides us with a singularly panoramic perspective of the Victorian world. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of a remarkable man and a crucial era.
