PROSPECTUS
ABOUT THIS BOOK
This volume is one of the largest in the T E. Lawrence Letters series, containing 216 letters. The core of the collection is a series of significant relationships that Lawrence developed with other writers. These are exchanges where for some reason an initial contact developed a warmth that went further than mere acquaintance. Some of the exchanges are substantial - for example, the correspondences with C.M. Doughty, Frederic Manning, and Siegfried Sassoon. We have also included a number of shorter exchanges which seemed to us to belong in this volume.
The letters here are engaging and interesting in many ways. From a biographical standpoint, some are among the most important that survive.
Writers represented include Maurice Baring, James Barrie, Laurence Binyon, Wlifrid Scawen Blunt, Edmund Blunden, John Brophy, Noël Coward, C. Day Lewis, Charles M. Doughty,Harley Granville-Barker, James Hanley, Frederic Manning, Ezra Pound,Herbert Read, Siegfried Sassoon, and W. B. Yeats.
In parallel with this volume we are working on a collection of Lawrence's correspondences with bookmen, and his correspondence with Edward and David Garnett.
