Travels in Arabia Deserta, originally published in 1888, is a two-volume set which describes English poet Charles Doughty's extensive travels through the Arabian deserts and the discoveries he made there. The work became well-regarded for its beautiful prose as well as its extensiveness, which made it a benchmark of ambitious travel writing in the early 20th century. Written in the style of the King James Bible, the text is extravagant and creative. In the 1920's, it was discovered by British Army Officer T. E. Lawrence, who spurred the book's republication, this time with an introduction from Lawrence. The Lawrence introduction , as well as accounts of Doughty's treks to Mecca, Ammon and Moab, the Mountain of Edom, Arabia, the Passage of the Harra, Teyma, and more. He also describes nomad life in the desert and ancient stories, peoples, and myths connected with his travels. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. First and limited edition. This is the subscriber's limited first edition of T. E. Lawrence's Correspondence with the Political Elite, spanning 1922-1935. This volume is a vital and much-anticipated installment in the T. E. Lawrence Letters series published by Castle Hill Press, the premier editors and fine press publ…ishers of material by and about T. E. Lawrence headed by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017). The edition is limited to a total of 427 copies. This copy features the publisher's quarter white linen over gray-paper covered boards, the spine featuring a dark gray Morocco goatskin spine label gilt-stamped with author and title. The contents are bound with yellow silk head and tail bands and feature dark gray-stained top edges, illustrated endpapers, and a tipped-on frontispiece illustration of Lionel Curtis by Augustus John. This copy is hand-numbered "231" on the limitation page. Condition is fine, the binding and contents pristine. T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) achieved fame from his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer, ended as "Lawrence of Arabia," and recounted in his magnum opus, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.But Lawrence's literary and intellectual reach far exceeded the world and words ofSeven Pillars of Wisdom and included engaging facility as a prolific correspondent.From the publisher: "Many of T.E. Lawrence's contemporaries found it incomprehensible that, while serving in the ranks as Aircraftman T. E. Shaw, he should remain on friendly terms with members of the political elite, some of whom he had known while advising Winston Churchill in the Colonial Office. There was surely a contradiction between these continuing relationships and his rejection of social status." Among the letters published herein are ten from Lawrence to his friend and admirer Winston Churchill, spanning 1922-1935, as well as Lawrence's inscription in Churchill's copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a 1927 letter from Churchill to Lawrence, and correspondence with Eddie Marsh, Churchill's longtime private secretary. Churchill said of his friend: "Lawrence had a full measure of the versatility of geniusHe was a savant as well as a soldier.He was an archaeologist as well as a man of action.He was an accomplished scholar as well as an Arab partisan. He was a mechanic as well as a philosopher.His background of somber experience and reflection only seemed to set forth more brightly the charm and gaiety of his companionship, and the generous majesty of his nature."(Great Contemporaries, p.166) Much of Lawrence's polymath genius scintillates in this correspondence volume. "The correspondents (in alphabetical order) are Nancy Astor, Tory MP for Plymouth Sutton; John Buchan, writer and Unionist MP for the Combined Scottish Universities; Winston Churchill and his Private Secretary Edward Marsh; Lionel Curtis, Fellow of All Souls, editor of the Round Table, and one of the founding organisers of the Royal Institute of International Affairs; Geoffrey Dawson, Fellow of All Souls and Editor of The Times; Lord Lothian, Cabinet Minister; and Ernest Thurtle, the Labour MP for Shoreditch who was responsible, with Lawrence's help, for the abolition of the death penalty for cowardice in the British Army. There are strong contrasts here, for example between the light-hearted letters to Nancy Astor (reminiscent in tone to those he had written to E.T. Leeds before the war), and the deeply introspective letters to Lionel Curtis. Here are his letters to Winston Churchill, his former chief at the Colonial Office, together with less formal letters to Eddie Marsh. The letters to Ernest Thurtle hint at his experience manipulating the political machine. Given the circumstances and the personalities involved, the collection is extraordinary - as are the public tributes paid to Lawrence after his death.".

In den WarenkorbFull leather. This is the Golden Cockerel Press finely bound limited edition of a collection of five essays in literary criticism by T. E. Lawrence with Introduction by Arnold Walker Lawrence, the youngest brother of T. E. Lawrence and his literary executor. Of an edition of 500 numbered copies, just the first thirty were bound…thus, in full Niger Morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe and bound with supplemental material, a facsimile reproduction of Lawrence's manuscript draft of his essay on James Elroy Flecker. The full blue Morocco binding is decorated with raised bands, gilt spine print, gilt decorated spine ends, and gilt decoration to the edges of the boards. The fine, laid paper contents are bound with untrimmed fore and bottom edges, gilt-ruled turn-ins, blue silk head and tail bands, and gilt top edges. The book is housed in a stout, linen-covered slipcase with felt-lined interior and beveled edge opening.This copy is numbered "19" of the 30 specially bound thus. Condition is very good. The chief defect of this copy is uniform sunning of the spine, leaving it a greenish hue now contrasting with the blue boards, whose hue has been perfectly preserved by the slipcase. The binding is otherwise fine, with no appreciable wear. The contents are fine, with no spotting and modest age-toning confined to the untrimmed fore and bottom edges. The sole previous ownership mark is the gilt-printed leather bookplate of "Micheline & Mervyn Parkhouse" affixed to the front pastedown. The bookplate has offset to the facing front free endpaper. The gilt top edges remain vividly, uniformly bright. The slipcase is fully intact, but the linen is inevitably soiled, with a hint of fraying along the edges and at the top and bottom of the opening. A faint, small, circular dark spot at the lower right front face of the slipcase indicates a possible previous sticker and the ghost of a penciled "332" remains at the upper left rear cover."In 1927, by request of the editor, F. Yeats-Brown, Lawrence published five book reviews under the pseudonym of C.D. (Colin Dale) in The Spectator. Two of these are reprinted here: 'A Review of the Novels by D.H. Lawrence' and 'A Review of the Short Stories of H.G. Wells'. Also included are 'A Note on James Elroy Flecker', 'A Criticism of Henry Williamson's Tarka The Otter', and 'A Review of the Works of Walter Savage Landor'." This wartime, fine press edition was published in mid-July 1940, at the beginning of the Battle of Britain and five years after the death of T. E. Lawrence.T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) achieved fame from his remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia."But, as this volume attests, Lawrence's literary and intellectual reach far exceeded the world and words ofSeven Pillars of Wisdom. To the point, Lawrence's friend Winston Churchill said:"Lawrence had a full measure of the versatility of geniusa savant as well as a soldier an archaeologist as well as a man of action an accomplished scholar as well as an Arab partisan a mechanic as well as a philosopher."Arnold Walker Lawrence (1900-1991) "had always been close to his brother T. E. Lawrence the eldest brother had become a missionary and the two others were killed in the First World War" When T. E. Lawrence died in 1935, A. W. inherited his brother's estate and copyrights. "T. E. Lawrence's death in 1935 saddled him with a literary executorship which he performed long and faithfully." A. W. shared some of his famous brother's intellectual passions, which he had time to develop as a lifelong academic, becoming a recognized authority on ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and fortifications. A. W. "was one of the more original classical archaeologists of his time, with an exceptional knowledge of other cultures, which he used with disconcerting effect. Deservedly, his later books became standard works." He eventually became a Fellow of the British Academy.References: O'Brien A229; ODNB; Churchill, Great Contemporaries First, limited, numbered, specially bound edition.
