Today, the achievements of the great Victorian explorer and linguist Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) may be more widely acknowledged than they were in his own time. The centennial of his death was marked in England and America with exhibits, conferences, and book-length studies of his life and work.
In this volume, eight leading scholars and book collectors present a remarkable composite picture of Burton's legacy: his adventures as an explorer of unknown lands and little-known cultures; his achievements as a geographer and translator; the mysteries of his relations with other explorers and of his personal life. The illustrations represent rare items in Burton's own library and the collections of Edwards H. Metcalf and Quentin Keynes.

reviewed In Search of Richard Burton: Papers from a Huntington Library Symposium on January 25, 2018 In Search of Richard Burton: Papers from a Huntington Library Symposium
The thought of a boating tale featuring a middle-aged couple sailing across the Bay of Biscay to Spain didn't immediately appeal and I almost cast it aside. However, the punchy, lively confessional writing style of Gwyneth Lewis, the National Poet of Wales, kept me reading and engaged with the various nautical diversions as well as with the trials and tribulations of the trip which turned out to be as stern a test of the couple's marriage as it was of their novice seafaring skills.
