T. E. Lawrence – man or myth?

Saturday, 06 September 2008, 17:30h

Martina R. Jones will talk about why she has been fascinated by this man, more famously known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ because of his exploits in WW I, for more than half her life.
Although Lawrence enjoyed great fame, he always claimed to want the anonymity offered by army life. An enigmatic, tortured character, revered and reviled by his contemporaries, one who has been described as ‘backing into the limelight’. What was he really like?
