Hodson, Joel. "T. E. Lawrence: Transatlantic Legends and American Culture," George Washington University, April 1992. Advisor: Marcus Cunliffe/Bernard Mergen (11, 18, 12)
This study proposes that the Lawrence of Arabia legend is as much an American creation as a British one. Relying on primary sources, the study traces the legend’s American origin and reception. It reconstructs the historical context of the legend, illustrating how it was propagated in the United States, and suggesting reasons why the story of a British military hero and eccentric intellectual had so much resonance in this country. The figure of Lawrence of Arabia is utilized to illustrate Anglo-American cultural interplay and the meaning of hero worship and fame.
