About this Item

FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo. (23 x 15.5 cm). pp.xvi+731. Publisher's original navy blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, in the unclipped grey dust-jacket printed in red and black. 45 photogravure plates including frontispiece of Lawrence and his brothers, plus numerous diagrams and plans in the text. Jacket with just the slightest of wear to extremities and some light smudging and discolouring, some minimal spotting to endpapers only, generally a very good copy. 'This collection of letters, edited by [T.E. Lawrence's] brother M. R. Lawrence, supplements the David Garnett collection of 1938. The letters included here for the most part cover his early years; fully two thirds of those included are from before the war. The two collections provide a remarkable picture of the range and scope of Lawrence's letter-writing from his youth to the end of his life. The letters of his brothers Frank and Will, both of whom died in the First World War, are also included. The whole reflects what was a truly remarkable family. This collection is a primary source for the pre-war correspondence of Lawrence' (O'Brien, pp. 167-168).
