Another life: lawrence after arabia.
Stroud .
Spellmount Press, 2008.
First edition.
8vo.
xviii, 366pp. Original publisher's black cloth boards lettered in gilt, with the photographic dust wrapper. Loosely inserted are two versions of the same newspaper review article regarding this publication, and the bifold flyer for the Dorset County Museums 2007 exhibitions, of which one was on T. E. Lawrence (The Man and the Myth: Lawrence of Arabia). From the family library of Henry Williamson.
A later biography focussing on T. E. Lawrence's life after his Arabian exploits.
Henry Williamson (1895-1977), novelist and writer on natural history and the English countryside, is predominantly remembered as the author of Tarka the Otter (1927) for which he won the Hawthornden Prize. His wartime experiences on the Western Front having altered his life inexorably, he spent the remainder of his post-war life in Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk, writing naturalistic novels very much in the romantic tradition. T. E. Lawrence was a dear friend of Williamson, who published 'The Genius of Friendship', an account of their correspondence in tribute to him, six years after Lawrence's tragic death.
