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. See below for the full programme. \nAll are welcome and the conference is completely free. \nThose wishing to attend the conference should complete the registration form here \n\nThe conference will now be broadcast online for free.
