| Synopsis: |
Having in 1997 published the complete 1922 text of 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', Jeremy and Nicole Wilson aimed to create an edition of Lawrence's other major prose work, 'The Mint' that would be a worthy companion. The first decision was to use the original text Lawrence completed in 1928. This, like the 1922 text of 'Seven Pillars', was what Lawrence wrote before anyone else saw and commented on the book. He later revised two typed copies of the manuscript. These formed the basis for the edited text published in 1955. The second decision was to follow Lawrence's declared intention of extending 'The Mint' to cover the remainder of his service career, from 1926 to 1935. He hoped to base the account at least in part on letters he had written at the time, but he died, as the result of a motor-cycle accident, before he could make a start. For this edition Jeremy and Nicole Wilson have selected descriptive passages from his letters about Air Force life, adding 120 pages. The result is a far more balanced account of Lawrence's service career, and an indication of what he might have written had he lived. A 37-page appendix contains passages from letters Lawrence wrote about 'The Mint'.These provide a first-hand account of its history. The book is part of the scholarly fine-press edition of Lawrence's writings, originally printed for subscribers. This large-format edition was intended as a companion to the 1997 large-format edition of 'Seven Pillars'. A smaller-format edition followed in 2010, matching the 2003 'Library Edition' of 'Seven Pillars' |
