The appearance of a major collection of Lawrence manuscripts never before published is a rarity. This volume contains pos­sibly the only remaining large group of his letters of which it can be claimed that none has hitherto been accessible. The book contains complete texts of 165 letters and postcards written by Lawrence between 1906 and 1912 to Louie Burrows, a fellow student at University College, Nottingham, to whom he was engaged for fifteen months before his elopement with Frieda Weekley.
