E. Lawrence's letters. E. M. Forster made the first attempt to gather a collection of Lawrence's correspondence, but the task grew too big and the planned volume was shelved. David Garnett took over the project, drawing on Forster's initial editorial plans to publish together Lawrence's wide-ranging letters, and includes correspondence between Lawrence and his mother, E. M. Forster, Thomas Hardy, Ronald Storrs, Eric Kennington, Liddell Hart, and David George Hogarth, the earliest dated August 1906 and the latest May 1935. This was the first and only major collection of letters until the supplementary title Home Letters of T. E. Lawrence and His Brothers was published in 1954.

AN IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION. The letters of T.E. Lawrence from 1906-1935, from early work in archaeology, through the Arab revolt, the writing of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and ending the year of his death in 1935. The ultimate aim of Garnett was to allow Lawrence to tell his own story, as much as possible. He has included Lawrence's private letters as well as official ones to give a complete portrayal of his life. Garnett took over this project when E.M. Forster felt "he could not go on with it" and thus was aided by his notes. The book is one of the finest sources for extensive information on T.E. Lawrence and the times he lived in and affected. Still the most important collection of T.E. Lawrence correspondence. O'Brien A202. Lawrence's interest in archaeology lasted from his childhood to the time of his death. These letters reflect this interest and his intellectual development over the years. Because Lawrence had many friends of diverse interest and background, his correspondence is complex and revealing. He was a very good correspondent and the substance of his writing "destroys the mystery of Larwence and establishes more firmly his titles to greatness--not only as a soldier and a writer--not because of what he did, but because of what he was." [dustjacket] Included are letters to Lloyd George, Bernard Shaw, Lady Astor, E.M. Forster, Noel Coward, Yeats, and Churchill.
