[Signed] [First Edition] Seven Pillars of Wisdom, an out-of-series set of the limited parallel text edition featuring both the 1922 "Oxford" and 1926
4035.18 CAD
This is one of a precious few limited sets of the Parallel Text edition of the 1922 "Oxford' and 1926 "Subscribers" versions of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This is unequivocally the most textually comprehensive published edition of T. E. Lawrence's magnum opus, featuring 1,000 dual-column pages in two large volumes. It was painstakingly prepared and published by Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017), Lawrence's official biographer and co-founder of Castle Hill Press. Per the publisher's limitation statement, the edition was limited to 50 sets, of which sets numbered 1-37 were bound in quarter goatskin and sets numbered i-xiii were "reserved". The 37 sets are bound in the publisher's quarter brown Morocco goatskin with brown buckram sides, the contents bound with brown endpapers, brown top edge stain, and silk head and tail bands. The two volumes are housed in the publisher's stout, unadorned brown buckram slipcase.We have now handled five of these sets, one of which was marked "hors séries" in Jeremy Wilson's characteristic red ink in lieu of a limitation number - the only set thus marked of which we are aware. The set on offer here is the only of which we are aware with an entirely blank limitation. Jeremy's widow and partner in Castle Hill Press, Nicole Wilson, kindly consulted her records for us and confirmed for us that, to her knowledge, this is the only set thus. Seven Pillars is the story of Thomas Edward Lawrence's (1888-1935) remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia." This time defined Lawrence with indelible experience and celebrity, which he spent the rest of his short life struggling to reconcile and reject, to recount and repress. Lawrence famously resisted publication of Seven Pillars during his lifetime. When Lawrence died in 1935 following a motorcycle crash, his magnum opus was rushed into print in the only version readily available - the 1926 "Subscribers" abridgement. Few realize that the celebrated text released to the world as "Complete and Unabridged" in 1935 is, in fact, a significantly abridged version. Even more remarkable, the full 1922 "Oxford Text" - a third longer was not published until 1997. Jeremy Wilson took this text from the manuscript in the Bodleian Library and T. E. Lawrence's annotated copy of the 1922 Oxford Times printing. When preparing the limited editions of the Oxford Text, Wilson's Castle Hill Press also undertook the painstaking, mammoth task of creating this parallel text two large volumes containing complete texts of the 1922 and 1926 versions, typeset side-by-side in double columns, aligning the beginning of each sentence that exists in both texts so that readers can see at a glance exactly what was omitted and what was revised, illuminating the significant differences in style and content between the two texts.

[Signed] [First Edition] War in the Desert, the first and previously unpublished abridged text of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, copy #51 of the
1285.18 CAD
This is the first and limited edition of the first version of Seven Pillars of Wisdom intended for general publication. It was prepared in autumn 1922 by T. E. Lawrence and his literary mentor and friend, Edward Garnett, abridged from the 1922 'Oxford' text. Fittingly, it was the final act of outstanding editorial scholarship and fine press publication by Lawrence's official biographer, Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017), that rescued this text from oblivion.This copy is hand-numbered "51" by Wilson on the limitation page and signed by Wilson at the end of the Introduction. Of a total edition of 227 numbered copies, only 45 were bound thus for subscribers, in quarter tan-orange goatskin over brown linen cloth-covered sides, the contents bound with deep blue endpapers featuring an illustration of Lawrence's ceremonial dagger, gilt top edges, and white and brown silk head and tail bands. The book is housed in a brown linen cloth-covered slipcase. This copy is as-new, among the publisher's last copies, acquired by us directly from the publisher, the binding pristine, the contents immaculate.The strikingly beautiful "sleeping dagger" indigo endpapers bear special note; according to Wilson: "Among the designs I suggested for War in the Desert was a photograph of Lawrence's dagger and belt, lying on the ground, Our printer came back with this, to my surprise converted into a night-time image ("During the day he'd have been wearing it".)" Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the story of T. E. Lawrence's (1888-1935) remarkable odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia."The saga of how Seven Pillars was written and published is tortuous.Lawrence nearly completed a massive first draft in 1919, only to lose it when his briefcase was mislaid at a train station. This first draft was never recovered. At a fever pitch, Lawrence wrote a new 400,000 word draft in 1920. Lawrence followed this punishing burst of writing with an equally brutal editing process. In 1922, a 335,000 word version was carefully circulated to select friends and literary critics - the famous "Oxford Text". George Bernard Shaw called it "a masterpiece".In the autumn of 1922, Lawrence and Garnett prepared the abridgement published here. "Between them, they extracted from the many-sided complexities of Seven Pillars a richly observed travel book combined with a fast-moving adventure-story." Lawrence thought well of it. Nonetheless, on Shaw's advice, Lawrence canceled the abridgement "at a very late stage, when the completed draft was about to go to the publishers."It is difficult to understate the consequences for Lawrence; undoubtedly the book would have brought him financial security and acclaim. Instead, not until 1926 was a different, edited and abridged "Subscribers' Edition" produced a lavish edition of fewer than 200 complete...
