There have been several additions to www.telawrence.info during the past few days.

The Odyssey of Homer, translated form the Greek by T. E. Lawrence

• The Invocation, Book I, Book II, Book III and the Translator’s Note are now online. More will follow shortly.

T. E. Lawrence, Correspondence with Bernard and Charlotte Shaw, 1928

• The letters published in this volume are now listed in the contents index for Lawrence’s writings, both under 1928 and under Charlotte Shaw. As these additions suggest, the volume contains a substantial amount of previously unpublished source material.
• In addition, Hazel Bell’s index to the volume is being added to the Union Index, initially as a supplement at the foot of each page. The supplements will be integrated as time permits.

T. E. Lawrence, Correspondence with Bernard and Charlotte Shaw 1928 is the latest volume in the definitive T.E. Lawrence Letters series. The book is currently in production and will be issued to subscribers in July. More information>>
