A critical biographical enquiry about T.E.Lawrence and the legend(s) about him.' ...primarily an analysis of the career of Lawrence the man of action and of the establishment and growth of what I (the author) have termed the Lawrence legend.If I have found that the first was much less significance than is generally supposed, and the second was largely Lawrence's own doing,this is not to deny that Lawrence was a man of peculiar abilities.If The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is to be regarded as a work of imagination rather than of history,it may well be considered by its admirers all the more remarkable for that fact.' Richard Aldington.
