Journal
of the T. E. Lawrence Society Vol. III , No. 1, Summer 1993 Edited by Jeremy Wilson T. E. Lawrence, T. E: 'Seven essays' (6-19) It is doubtful that the manuscripts of Lawrence's early essays survive. In setting the texts here, we have corrected obvious mistakes in the original printings, but it is not always possible to rectify errors where an earlier printer seems to have mis-read Lawrence's handwriting. These reprints, however, are certainly no worse than the originals, and they make the essays readily available in one place for the first time. Anon: 'Summary of the Hejaz Revolt' War Office, London (20-44) The War Office 'Summary of the Hejaz Revolt' is something of an antidote to claims made by writers such as Elie Kedourie, Sidney Sugarman, and Lawrence James. It provides a contemporary record of Arab achievement based not only on Arab sources but on information gathered by British Intelligence, including intercepted enemy messages, and the reports of Allied liaison officers in the field. Jeremy Wilson: 'T. E. Lawrence at Clouds Hill' (45-65) This record of Lawrence at Clouds Hill, drawn from his correspondence, offers an insight into his attitude towards the cottage, gives the history of the improvements he made, and says something about his plans to live there in retirement. Richard Yeomans: 'T. E. Lawrence and the Visual Arts' (66-74) The contribution by Richard Yeomans draws attention to an aspect of Lawrence's interests which many people overlook, and also serves as a reminder of the successful Symposium organised at the University of Warwick in December 1992. Philip M. O'Brien: 'Notes on the American Issues of Revolt in the Desert' (75-79) Many of our readers have substantial collections of books by and about Lawrence. The contribution by Philip O'Brien is the first in a series of bibliographical notes. It should help collectors and librarians distinguish between different editions and states of Revolt in the Desert that are frequently confused. Jeremy Wilson: 'Notes on editing the Oxford Seven Pillars' (80-84) Editorial work on the Oxford Seven Pillars is steadily progressing, and much of Lawrence's text has now been typeset. Readers may be interested in the notes reproduced here, made at an early stage in the project. Previous: Contents of Vol. II, No. 2 Next:
