Henry Williamson (1895-1977), novelist, author of 'Tarka the Otter' [T. E. Lawrence [Thomas Edward Lawrence; 'Lawrence of Arabia
Lawrence of Arabia: unpublished personal recollections of Henry Williamson author of ‘Tarka the Otter’. Autograph Typescript by Williamson with one Autograph Manuscript emendation of passage from memoir.
No date or place. 1930s or 1940s. From the Henry Williamson papers. The present text does not feature in Williamson’s 1941 memoir of Lawrence ‘Genius of Friendship’ and appears to be unpublished. According to Williamson’s entry in the Oxford DNB the publication in 1927 of ‘Tarka the Otter’ ‘attracted the attention of T. E. Lawrence whose letter of praise started a correspondence and friendship between the two. Indeed Lawrence's fatal motorcycle crash on 14 May 1935 occurred as he was returning from a trip to the post office to send a telegram to Williamson’. Eighteen lines of typewritten text single-spaced on one side of a 20 x 17 cm piece of laid Partridge & Cooper Ledger paper cut from the lower part of a leaf. Lightly aged and spotted with one punch hole in margin. Two folds. Autograph emendation of the word ‘jerk’ to ‘turn’. Two paragraphs the first and shorter reading: ‘There are several characteristic gestures of his that I can see vividly. One of them his expression and action in turning his head upon a speaker when an idea has taken sudden root in his head from what has been said. He would turn his head sideways at an angle of 15º give the person a quick glance and then frown and as it were set his eyes upon the other person’s eyes with a swift jerk as though to strike a line through the other’s brain to clear a way through thought-confusion to sky-clarity beyond.’ The second paragraph discusses ‘the hidden springs of his tact’ ‘difficult to convey in a screen version of his life’ with reference to ‘a George Arliss film’. Ends: ‘The real thing indeed as Lawrence knew and used it is terrifically better theatre. It is the basis of all religion.’ No date or place. (1930s or 1940s?) unknown

Homer and Shaw, T. E. [translator] [T. E. Shaw is a Pseudonym for T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia]
The Odyssey of Homer; Title 925
New York: Armed Services Inc c1945. Armed Services Edition; Overseas Edition. Wraps. Fair. Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches. 384 pages plus covers. Illustrations. Introduction by John Finley. Cover is worn torn soiled creased and cover partially reglued to spine. This is the complete book--not a digest. The prose translation by T. E. Shaw known to hundreds of thousands as Lawrence of Arabia of Homer's great Greek epic poem was first published in 1932. At Shaw's instance it appeared without any mentioned of the translator's name. Hailed by the Book-of-the-Month Club News as :one of the notable books of our time: and by the New York Herald Tribune as 'perhaps the most interesting translation of the world's most interesting book" it immediately became a best seller. Not until the tragic death of Shaw in 1935 were the publishers permitted to reveal that Lawrence of Arabia was responsible for this outstanding translation a translation which the eminent critic Dr. Henry Seidel Canby has heartily recommended 'for everybody over twelve." In all editions of the book subsequent to his death Shaw's name has appeared as translator. This special edition of The Odyssey of Homer has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher Oxford University Press New York. Overseas edition for the Armed Forces. Distributed by the Special Services division A.S.F. for the Army and by the Bureau of Naval Personnel for the Navy. U.S. Government Property. Not for sale. Published by Editions for the Armed Services Inc. a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime. This overseas edition/Armed Services Edition is among the rarest if not the rarest of the posthumously published work of T. E. Lawrence/T. E. Shaw. As can be imagined although there were a large number of copies printed relatively few have survived the ravages of combat the other ravages of time the ephemeral nature of these softcover wartime editions and both intentional and inadvertent destruction. This 'fair condition' copy has literally been through the wars. It's survival over nearly eight decades rivals in some ways the survival through the oral tradition of the Odyssey of Homer until such time as it's majestic words could be captured in written form. Not only is this work of inestimable value to the serious Lawrence of Arabia collector but it is equally significant to the classical scholar and those who appreciate a rowdy good tale. Edith Hamilton whose reputation as a scholar of the ancient Greeks has no equal wrote: Homer's poetry turned to prose. "I did not know that it was possible for a translation to reproduce so closely the beauty and delightfulness of Homer. I feel that Colonel Lawrence T.E. Shaw has given the poem back to the world that has ceased to read Greek. The Translator Shaw/Lawrence wrote: "For years we were digging up a city of roughly the Odysseus period. I have handled the weapons armour utensils of those times explored their houses planned their cities. I have hunted wild boars and watched wild lions sailed the Aegean and sailed ships bent bows lived with pastoral peoples woven textiles built boats and killed many men. So I have odd knowledges that qualify me to understand the Odyssey and odd experiences that interpret it to me." Armed Services Inc paperback

Lawrence, Thomas Edward, Lawrence of Arabia
Autograph Letter signed “T E Lawrence†to Mr. J. L. Garvin editor of the Observer agreeing to talk about the Middle East but declining to write for him
London 1919. Two pages on a bifolium. 1 vols. 8vo. Old folds some soiling two tiny patches of thinning from old adhesion on first page a minute strip of cellotape on verso not affecting signature page. Good plus. Two pages on a bifolium. 1 vols. 8vo. Lawrence of Arabia at the height of his acclaim and celebrity in Britain treads a careful line in his response to a letter from editor James Louis Garvin 1868-1947 editor of the Observer newspaper and a leading spokesman for the Conservative party:<br /> <br /> “I'd be delighted to talk to you personally about the Middle East: which looks a sad tangle because our focus is wrong: all's very well really: only I can't write either now or in the future about it since most of my views are based on official information and it wouldn't do to give it away. I know I’m supposed to have written upon it but actually all I did was one short letter to the Times not controversial and that was by requestâ€<br /> <br /> He expresses his willingness to meet with the editor subject to these reservations and concludes “Yours sincerely T E Lawrence By the way I’m not a Colonel now!â€<br /> <br /> A choice letter right around the time that Lawrence lost the draft manuscript of Seven Pillars in the Reading train station. Two weeks later he began “to scribble out what I remembered of the first textâ€; the disenchantment with British policy in the Middle East was still ahead. unknown
