The site contains a substantial proportion of Lawrence' published writing and is designed for easy use. Every page has links in the left-hand margin to chronological contents  lists, and across the top to alphabetic contents lists. A Google search box allows you to search the entire content.

Build began in January 2006 when UK copyright on many of Lawrence's published writings expired. Most of the site will be complete by the end of the year. There are already several hundred of Lawrence's letters online and most of his shorter writings (articles and introductions). Complete texts of Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1935) and The Mint (1955) are almost ready to go life.

From Castle Hill Press
The most important work by T.E. Lawrence published since the 1950s.

"The Work is a masterpiece, one of the few very best of its kind in the world." 

Thus, in 1923, Bernard Shaw described the Oxford Text of Seven Pillars to Stanley Baldwin, then British Prime Minister. When, after Lawrence's death, his executor decided to publish the shorter subscribers' abridgement, E.M. Forster and St. John Philby were just two of the critics who expressed a preference for the 'Oxford' text. But the abridged Seven Pillars went on to become a classic, and the fuller version remained unpublished. Finally, in 1997, the Oxford Text appeared in a three-volume limited edition, which quickly sold out.

first printing

The text was re-checked and revised for the one-volume edition issued to subscribers in December 2003. A remarkable feature was a scholarly index by Hazel Bell, which won the Wheatley Medal. A trade hardback (now out of print) was published in 2004.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Complete 1922 Text is a third longer than the subscribers' abridgement - a difference of around 200 pages. For most people, the additional content would be a sufficient reason to read the 'Oxford' version rather than the abridgement. Better still, many agree with Robert Graves that the Oxford text is an easier read.

Copies of the 2003 Subscribers' Library Edition, limited to 1,225 copies and bound in traditional cloth and leather bindings, are still available, but only  from the publishers. The cloth-bound issue costs £45 + shipping.
