The cool, courteous Alexander Kinglake and the hot, contentious George Borrow are two of the best-liked and most influential travel-writers of the 19th century. They were contemporaries for much of their long lives (Borrow died in 1881, aged 78, Kinglake in 1891, aged 82) but play very different roles in the 20th-century imagination.
