SUMMARY:T E Lawrence Society Symposium 2016
DESCRIPTION:In the centenary year of the outbreak of the Arab Revolt\, we are delighted to report that a record number of delegates joined us for our 14th Symposium\, held at St John’s College\, Oxford. \nOver the three days of the Symposium\, a special programme of lectures marked this very special occasion. Two exhibitions showcased archaeological artefacts from the Great Arab Revolt Project\, as well as photographs of Egypt and Palestine taken during the First World War collected as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund-sponosored project\, Views of an Antique Land\, run by Cardiff University. \nOn the Friday night\, delegates were joined by members of the public for a staged reading of Jan Woolf’s new play about Lawrence\, The Man with the Gold. \nThe Great Hall at St John’s was packed for our traditional candlelit dinner on the Saturday night\, clearly demonstrating the continuing interest in Lawrence around the world. We hope to see everyone again in 2018 when we will be marking the culmination of the Arab Revolt with the taking of Damascus in 1918. \nChairman Philip Neale opens proceedings in the centennial year of the outbreak of the Arab Revolt\nSymposium Speakers\nRoger Holehouse – The Strategic Context to the Arab Revolt\nDr Steve Mills & Professor Paul T.
