Parallel French and English Texts
With a Foreword by Jeremy Wilson
Castle Hill Press, 2004
Edition of 375 numbered copies
Parallel French and English texts of Lawrence's first published translation, The Forest Giant. Several critics have argued that his version is much better than the original (an opinion we share). In this edition, readers with a command of both languages can assess Lawrence's work for themselves.
Jeremy Wilson's Foreword, available online, gives a history of the translation.

. . . a quite invaluable job in publishing (very beautifully . . .) many of the writings of TEL which hitherto have been available only in manuscript form in museums, libraries or private collections, or in out-of-print books which are very hard to obtain.An excellent set of publications that are beautifully edited and produced. A wonderful addition to my library and to any library.
