      The collected letters of T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia.

      Should you wish to understand the enigmatic and multi-faceted character that made up T.E. Lawrence (or T.E. Shaw, as he became known after 1923), you can hardly do better than read the many letters that he wrote.

There are a vast number of these. TE was a prolific letter writer, he found them a means of expression and of communication with friends and acquaintances whom he might not be able or even wish to meet. I feel sure many wait, yet to be discovered in hidden places, tucked inside books or in old desk drawers. Indeed there are recent examples of letters hiding in both of these locations.

Many of his letters have been published and in more recent years Castle Hill Press (under the expert guidance of the late Jeremy Wilson) has produced scholarly and handsome editions, focusing on the letters to certain correspondents and key themes of his life.

However to obtain a rounded and intimate picture of TE one can do little better than exploring the 583 published in David Garnetts selection The Letters of T.E. Lawrence first published in 1938. These letters give a fully rounded overview of the whole of TEs life, treating it in a chronological manner that enables a biographical picture to be formed.
