THOMAS EDWARD LAWRENCE (1888-1935)
THOMAS EDWARD LAWRENCE (1888-1935) An Essay on Flecker . Garden City, New York: Country Life Press for Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc., 1937. 8° (228 x 151mm). (Slight rust-marking from staples.) Original printed wrappers with publisher's device on upper wrapper. (Very slightly creased, small mark on lower wrapper). Provenance : David Garnett (1892-1981, booklabel inside upper wrapper, heavily corrected throughout in pencil and annotated on upper wrapper 'The corrections are copied from those made by A.W. L[awrence]. from the original. D.G.') -- Dr Lionel Dakers CBE (1924-2003). FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, LIMITED TO 56 COPIES. DAVID GARNETT'S COPY WITH CORRECTIONS COPIED FROM A.W. LAWRENCE'S COPY. An Essay on Flecker was first published by the Corvinus Press in May 1937 in an edition of 32 copies (cf. the previous lot), and, in order to secure copyright, an American edition of 56 copies was published by Doubleday, Doran and Company (although O'Brien notes, 'In a letter dated 29 January 1938 A.W. Lawrence states that he requested 60 copies and thinks that 70 copies were printed'). The Essay was then reprinted in Men in Print , edited by A.W. Lawrence in 1940; for this collection, the author's brother made some significant changes to the text, correcting typographic errors and rephrasing certain sentences, and also incorporating new material from a second draft of the text. The majority of these amendments (apart from the new material) have been marked in this copy by Lawrence's friend the writer David Garnett, who edited the first collection of Lawrence's Letters (1938) and contributed to T.E. Lawrence by his Friends , which was edited by A.W. Lawrence (1938); however, there are also corrections present here which were not incorporated into the text published in Men in Print . O'Brien A199.
