SUMMARY:Writing Lawrence and his World - a One day conference at Magdalen College\, Oxford
DESCRIPTION:The soldier\, archaeologist and writer T.E. Lawrence\, also known as Lawrence of Arabia\, is one of the most elusive and controversial figures of the twentieth-century and also one of the most studied. \nHe has intrigued generations of biographers and interpreters from his contemporaries in the 1930s to students re-analysing his role in the Middle East one hundred years later. In 1989\, Jeremy Wilson produced a monumental authorised biography of Lawrence that was based on unprecedented access to official records and personal letters\, and proved to be a landmark in Lawrence biography. To celebrate the cataloguing of Wilson’s extensive archive\, we are bringing a range of speakers who have approached Lawrence from a variety of different perspectives\, professions and genres. \nThis conference will explore conflicts and controversies in the history of Lawrence biography\, approach Lawrence from the view of the indexer\, the bookseller and the archivist\, find out how some of the latest major biographies of Lawrence were written\, delve into some intriguing new stories in Lawrence research\, explore Lawrence in parallel with the stories of his friends and contemporaries\, and discover how Lawrence is transformed and re-interpreted in fiction and art. \nThe keynote speaker will be Sabina Murray\, award-winning novelist and screenwriter\, who will tell us about researching and writing her new bio-fictive novel about T.E. Lawrence\, using the Wilson Archive at Magdalen. The conference will take place on 31 August 2023 at Magdalen College.

SUMMARY:Blood\, Gold and Oil. The play by Jan Woolf
DESCRIPTION:A updated version fo the play is presented at the Riverside Studios Hampstead. 10th to 13th July 2023 \nBook your tickets at the Theatre website \nFrom the Arab Revolt of World War One\, a modern hero is constructed: The brilliant\, flawed figure of Lawrence of Arabia. His legacy is as complex as his psyche. \nA museum. Present day. A curator puts the finishing touches to her final exhibition while its subject – seemingly summoned by the passion of the archaeologist – searches for a way out. \nProduced for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq\, BLOOD GOLD AND OIL scrapes away at the topsoil of TE Lawrence’s continued celebrity and interrogates all that lies beneath. Was he a brilliant military commander? Certainly. A Freedom fighter? He’d definitely like to think so. An agent of British colonialism? Could be. \nDuring the course of the play\, a real living exhibition is carefully pieced together with an array of genuine World War One artefacts on loan from the National Civil War Centre in Newark and Imperial War Museum. The finds were from a 2013 archaeological dig in Jordan where playwright Jan Woolf was a writer in residence and dug the play out of the ground.

SUMMARY:‘On the Trail of T.E. Lawrence: 1908-1911’\, a talk by Dr Nick Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Combined North West Group & Royal Geographical Society event \nCHESTER CATHEDRAL – FRIDAY 18th FEBRUARY 2022 @ 7:00 pm – Tickets must be purchased in advance from The Royal Geographical Society website at a special price of £7.50 for Society members. There will be no cash sales on the door. \n‘On the Trail of T.E. Lawrence: 1908-1911’\, a talk by Dr Nick Lynch \nNick will talk about his journeys following the young Lawrence of Arabia prior to the outbreak of WW1\, including cycling the majority of Lawrence’s 2500 mile tour of France. \n  \nLawrence’s hardiness\, simple living\, and determination\, which characterise his role in the Arab Revolt\, are already evident in his 2500 mile cycling tour of France in 1908\, and his walking tours of Syria in 1909 and southern Turkey in 1911. Nick will talk about following the young Lawrence of Arabia on these three journeys prior to the outbreak of WW1. Use is made of Lawrence’s letters and photographs to make then and now comparisons. \nNick is a trustee and former chairman of the T.E.Lawrence Society and is coordinator of its London Group. His interest in Lawrence dates from the late 1980s. On learning that no-one had previously followed Lawrence’s 1908 Crusader Castles cycle tour of France\, he felt that the experience might give him some additional insight into Lawrence’s character and stamina. Nick’s re-tracing of the cycle route was followed in subsequent years by visits to Syria\, Turkey\, Israel and Jordan. Nick is currently at work on a publication describing these journeys\, and detailing the locations of Lawrence’s photographs from this time.

SUMMARY:One Day Symposium at the site of RAF Calshot on Calshot Spit
DESCRIPTION:It was a real disappointment for everyone in the TE Lawrence Society that we had to cancel our 16th Symposium in Oxford planned for the last weekend in September 2021. \nIn the meantime we have been keen to provide an alternative event on the same weekend this year and we are pleased to announce an exciting One Day event to be held on Saturday 25th September 2021. \nThis unique event will be at the Calshot Activities Centre\, on Calshot Spit at the site of RAF Calshot in Hampshire\, a place intimately connected with Lawrence and his work with the Schneider Trophy Air Races and the development of the 200 Class Seaplane Tender at nearby Hythe.  \nThe TE Lawrence Society has arranged this event with The Army Flying Museum and Hampshire County Council. \nThe day will feature three presentations related to Lawrence and there will also be a chance to explore Calshot and its sites associated with Lawrence while he was there. \nThe timeline with presentations is as follows: \n10.30 Welcome and Introduction \n11.00.  Alison Jolley: ‘One brother in India very remarkable’:T. E.’s favourite brother\, Will \nLast year’s online Symposium opened with Alison  looking at Will Lawrence’s service in the Royal Flying Corps. Now she returns to speak on a part of Will’s life which has gone almost unrecognised up to now – his association in Delhi\, where he taught at a missionary college before the war\, with some of Gandhi’s most significant early supporters. What part were the missionaries at the college about to play in drawing Gandhi into the independence movement\, and how would having T.E. as a brother guide Will as he too sought to grasp the spirit of the East?  \nAlison was previously a speaker at the 2014 Symposium on the friendship between T.E. Lawrence and Lady Kathleen Scott\, from whose diary the quotation in the title is taken. Her paper on Will – long recognised as the closest of T.E.’s brothers – appeared in the Spring 2021 edition of the Society’s Journal. Using new material on Will’s RFC service that has emerged since last year’s talk\, Alison will conclude with a brief review of these final tragic weeks of his  \n12.15 A look at some exciting new acquisitions for the Society and for the NT at Clouds Hill and a discussion on the importance of these. \n13.00 Lunch Break and a chance to explore Calshot Spit where there are many interesting reminders of Lawrence’s time there. \n14.30 Group Captain John Alexander: Hot Air\, Aeroplanes and Arabs; Lawrence and Air Power \nThe ever-expanding Lawrence literature overlooks the link between his concept of warfare and subsequent choice of the RAF for enlistment. Lawrence’s fame stemmed from the cultural difference between his romantic heroism in the desert and the industrial warfare on the Western Front. Yet pare away the myth and enigma of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ using historical analysis of the official archives and a re-reading of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and one finds a novel insight of Lawrence as a proponent of air power and a strikingly modern way in warfare\, using machines rather than men\, and combining aeroplanes and armoured cars with Arab regulars and irregulars. The experience lay behind Lawrence’s subsequent post-war support of the use of air power for colonial control in Iraq and probably influenced his choice of the RAF for enlistment.  \nJohn’s forty-year career in the Royal Air Force and is well placed to talk about Lawrence as he spent two years seconded as an advisor to an Arab force; served in the Hejaz\, Iraq and Pakistan; was a visiting research fellow at the University of Oxford; and speaks poor Arabic. Unlike Lawrence\, Alexander accepted a commission in the RAF’s ground fighting force\, a civil service appointment to write RAF official history\, and has spent several years in Afghanistan. \n15.45 Vintage film from the archives and a look around Calshot \n16.00 Paul Beaver: Lawrence\, Calshot and the Schneider Trophy \nThis discussion will explore Lawrence’s connections with Calshot and Hythe and particularly his work in the ranks on the Schneider Trophy Air Race in 1929. Paul will look a the local angles to the story and much of this has often been overlooked by historians. He will bring a particular insight based on his aviation experience. \nPaul Beaver is an aviation historian\, broadcaster and writer who is very much a hands-on historian with his own vintage aeroplane company. He is also a Society member and Trustee of the Supermarine Seaplane Charity and has contributed many interesting talks and discussions to the Army Flying Museum programme. \n17.00 – 17.30 Close  \nThe cost for the day is £40 with a buffet lunch and £30 without a buffet lunch.  \nThere are only 50 tickets available for Society members to attend the day at Calshot and if you wish to book a place\, please e mail our Chairman\, Philip Neale at telsocchair@gmail.com before Sunday 19th September 2021. You will then be provided with details on how to pay and more details for the day can be supplied. \nThe day will also be available LIVE as an on-line broadcast on the day\, at a cost of £15 and a link with payment details can be found at: \nhttps://armyflying.com/what-s-on/lockdown-lectures/t-e-lawrence-symposium-2021/ \n
