He founded the periodicals "New Writing" and "The London Magazine" and the publishing house of John Lehmann Limited. Born in Bourne End Buckinghamshire the fourth child of journalist Rudolph Lehmann and brother of Helen Lehmann novelist Rosamond Lehmann and actress Beatrix Lehmann he was educated at Eton and read English at Trinity College Cambridge. He considered his time at both as "lost years". At Trinity Lehmann had a passionate relationship with Virginia Woolf's nephew Quentin Bell. After a period as a journalist in Vienna he returned to England to found the popular periodical New Writing 1936–40 in book format. This literary magazine sought to break down social barriers and published works by working-class authors as well as educated middle-class writers and poets. It proved a great influence on literature of the period and an outlet for writers such as Christopher Isherwood W. H. Auden Edward Upward and miner-author B. L. Coombes. Lehmann included many of these authors in his anthology Poems for Spain which he edited with Stephen Spender. With the onset of the Second World War and paper rationing New Writing's future was uncertain and so Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe for Pelican Books one of the first critical summaries of the writers of the 1930s in which he championed the authors who had been the stars of New Writing—Auden and Spender—and also his close friend Tom Wintringham and Wintringham's ally the emerging George Orwell. Wintringham reintroduced Lehmann to Allen Lane of Penguin Books who secured paper for The Penguin New Writing a monthly book-magazine this time in paperback. The first issue featured Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant". Occasional hardback editions combined with the magazine Daylight appeared sporadically but it was as Penguin New Writing that the magazine survived until 1950. He joined Leonard and Virginia Woolf as managing director of Hogarth Press between 1938 and 1946. He then established his own publishing company John Lehmann Limited with his novelist sister Rosamond Lehmann who had a nine-year affair with one of Lehmann's contributing poets Cecil Day-Lewis. They published new works by authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Nikos Kazantzakis and discovered talents like Thom Gunn and Laurie Lee. Lehmann edited two anthologies of new writing entitled Orpheus: A Symposium of the Arts 1948–49. He also published the first two books by the cookery writer Elizabeth David A Book of Mediterranean Food and French Country Cooking. He published two of Denton Welch's posthumous works: A Voice Through a Cloud for which he supplied the title 1950 and A Last Sheaf 1951. This publishing house published several book series including the Chiltern Library the Holiday Library the Modern European Library and the Library of Art and Travel. It operated from 1946–1953. In 1954 he founded The London Magazine remaining as editor until 1961 following which he was a frequent lecturer and completed his three-volume autobiography Whispering Gallery 1955 I Am My Brother 1960 and The Ample Proposition 1966. In The Purely Pagan Sense 1976 is an autobiographical record of his homosexual life in England and pre-war Germany discreetly written in the form of a novel. He also wrote the biographies Edith Sitwell 1952 Virginia Woolf and her World 1975 Thrown to the Woolfs 1978 Rupert Brooke 1980 and Christopher Isherwood. A Personal Memoir 1987. His book Three Literary Friendships 1983 deals with the relationships between Lord Byron and Percy Shelley Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine Robert Frost and Edward Thomas. In 1965 he published Christ the Hunter a spiritual/autobiographical prose poem which had been broadcast in 1964 on the BBC Third Programme. In 1974 Lehmann published a book of poems The Reader at Night hand-printed on handmade paper and hand-bound in an edition of 250 signed copies Toronto Basilike 1974. An essay by Paul Davies about the creation of this book is included in Professor A.T. Tolley's collection John Lehmann: A Tribute Ottawa; Carleton University Press 1987 which also includes pieces by Roy Fuller Thom Gunn Charles Osborne Christopher Levenson Jeremy Reed George Woodcock and others. John Lehmann died in London on 7 April 1987 aged 79. Wikipedia paperback‎

Traduit de l'anglais par Jean-Paul Constantin. Avant-propos de Lady Liddell-Hart. Préface et postface du général Beaufre. ˮSir Basil Liddell Hart, esprit passionné et curieux, nous laisse une grande leçon qui est celle de la vie. Dans le domaine militaire, la vérité, non seulement celle du passé mais celle qui se vérifira dans l'avenir, ne peut généralement pas être trouvée par les voies officielles de la hiérarchie, trop facilement conformiste. Il est donc capital qu'il existe des chercheurs privés, capable de donner libre cours à laur imagination et à leur initiative.ˮ (Préface du général Beaufre)‎

‎LAWRENCE, T E - LIDDELL HART, Basil Henry‎

‎'T. E. Lawrence'.‎

‎London: Jonathan Cape 1934. First edition first impression of this influential early biography which was central to the formation of the Lawrence myth. Captain Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart 1895-1970 was one of the leading military thinkers of the 20th century and his book is often considered the first "serious" Lawrence biography after the sensationalism of Lowell Thomas and Robert Graves. It provides valuable insight into Lawrence's achievements as a strategist "who had the vision to anticipate the guerrilla trend of civilized warfare" p. 382. Liddell Hard considered that his friend Lawrence "was more deeply steeped in knowledge of war than any other general of the First World War"; a judgement that has been seen as hyperbolic by many in the intervening 80 years but which in view of current thinking on the increasing prevalence of asymmetric warfare and counterinsurgency operations seems remarkably prescient. Liddell Hart views Lawrence as a brilliant leader worthy of comparison to Napoleon and Marlborough. Using minimal resources against a numerically and technologically superior foe Lawrence "turned the weakness of the Arabs into an asset and the strength of the Turks into a debit" p. 383. Octavo. Half-tone portrait frontispiece after Augustus John 11 similar plates 5 folding maps. Original red cloth spine and front cover lettered in gilt publisher's device in blind on rear cover top edge red bottom edge untrimmed. With dust jacket. A few faint stains to cloth top right corner a little bumped; jacket unclipped minor chips along edges spine a touch toned with small skinned patch at foot front panel with faint tide marks and neat repair to foot: a very good copy in like jacket.

‎LAWRENCE, T E - LIDDELL HART, Basil Henry, & Sir Ronald Storrs‎

‎Lawrence of Arabia.‎

‎London: The Corvinus Press 1936. Inscribed by the owner of the Corvinus Press to E. M. Forster Signed limited edition number 103 of 128 copies signed by Liddell Hart and Ronald Storrs inscribed on the front free endpaper "To E. M. Forster from Carlow. The printer of this book. Nov 22 1936". This copy retains the rare jacket unknown to O'Brien. The Corvinus Press was established in 1936 by Viscount Carlow who had formed a friendship with Lawrence in the early 1930s based on a shared interest in book collecting fine printing and languages. They had even discussed setting up a private press - a plan that foundered due to Lawrence's premature death. E. M. Forster and Lawrence first met in 1921 at the house of Emir Feisal. Forster was impressed by Lawrence who was already famous for his exploits in the Arab Revolt. Three years later Siegfried Sassoon asked Forster to read the as-yet unpublished Seven Pillars of Wisdom which left him so inspired that he wrote a letter of effusive praise to Lawrence: "You will never show it to any one who will like it more than I do: its subject and incidentals suit me: also my critical sense never stops telling me it's fine" Lawrence 9. This kindled a friendship that lasted until Lawrence's death as one of Forster's many queer relationships forged through the intimate exchange of literature. They continued most of their correspondence through letters discussing and critiquing each other's work but also visiting in person a number of times. In 1927 Forster dedicated The Eternal Moment and Other Stories "To TE in the absence of anything else". Lawrence of Arabia prints the speeches by Liddell Hart and Storrs given at a luncheon in memory of Lawrence about a month after his death; that by Liddell Hart is entitled "Lawrence: The Artist in War and Literature" and that by Storrs "Lawrence: Himself". The edition comprised 24 copies on Medway paper specially printed for Liddell Hart and Storrs 25 copies on Boswell paper 6 copies on Winchmore Blue paper and 70 further copies on Medway paper. There were also 3 copies kept for the publisher. All 128 copies in the edition were signed. Quarto. Original brown quarter hessian cloth spine lettered in gilt single gilt rules at spine and corner edges brown kinari chiri paper boards by Sangorski & Sutcliffe Corvinus device to front board top edge gilt others uncut. With original clear plastic dust jacket and paper flaps. Cloth fresh title a little offset; jacket with a few chips to edges rear flap judiciously stabilized: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.

‎New York: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. 1938. First US edition signed limited issue number 419 of 1000 copies. These works collect Lawrence's correspondence with two of his most famous biographers. The letters contained in these two works span 1920-35 revealing Lawrence's close connection with his biographers and his attempts to carefully control his reputation.

Other matters are also discussed such as Lawrence's opinions on the publication of I Claudius pp. 174-79 in Graves. The frontispiece in Graves is based on a pen-and-ink sketch he bought at the Caledonian Market. Robert Graves published the greatly successful biography Lawrence and the Arabs in 1927.
