Description

Lawrence of Arabia is widely considered one of the ten greatest films ever made - though more often by film-goers and film-makers than by critics. This monograph argues that popular wisdom is correct, and that Lean's film is a unique blend of visionary image-making, narrative power, mythopoetic charm and psychological acuteness.

Author Biography

Kevin Jackson is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Companion of the Guild of St George. His previous publications include Withnail & I (2004).

Reviews
