Castle Hill Press 2016

In 2016 we will add two more volumes to our acclaimed scholarly fine-press edition of T.E. Lawrence's works and letters. Sixteen titles have appeared in the series since 1997. These contain books, articles, reports, essays and correspondence.

How to buy the titles you want

The edition is published for subscribers, at the lowest prices we can offer both for forthcoming and for past publications ('backlist').

• Subscribers have the widest choice of backlist titles, including some that are no longer available separately
• Individuals and institutions can subscribe
• Subscriptions must be placed directly with Castle Hill Press, not through a bookseller, as there are no trade discounts on subscription prices.

2. Single volumes

Much of the edition goes to subscribers on publication, or is reserved for future subscribers. Some titles are available in the "public" section of our online shop. You can order these directly from the shop or through a specialist bookseller.  

The correspondence volumes bring together content that is widely scattered in libraries and private collections. Topics referred to in letters are researched to provide brief explanatory notes wherever possible. The volumes are indexed.

The edition includes so much previously-unpublished material that it has become indispensable for serious research about Lawrence. One or two new titles are added each year.

The series editor is Jeremy Wilson, Lawrence's authorised biographer, a Research Fellow of Bristol University and also currently a visiting academic at Oxford University. More >>
