About This Item
New York: B. W. Huebsch, 1916. First American Edition . Hardcover. Good. vii, 310, [3] pp. First American edition, with English sheets. The author's first travel book. In March 1912 Lawrence and Frieda von Richthofen Weekley fell in love. Frieda was married to a former professor of Lawrence's, and the mother of three children. The ensuing scandal drove the couple to Germany, joining her parents in Metz. The drama continued when Lawrence was arrested as a British spy then released due to the influence of Frieda's father. Shortly after that, they took a "honeymoon" walking trip across the Alps into Italy. Lawrence wrote a series of linked essays based on this trek which appeared as Twilight in Italy. The couple eventually returned to England at the outbreak of WWI, and were finally married in 1914. Spine is yellowed, with a few faint spots of wax residue on front board, foxing throughout. Hinges have loosened.
