The archaeologist D. G. Hogarth (1862-1927) was, when he died,
keeper of the Ashmolean Museum and president of the Royal
Geographical Society. He was instrumental in launching T. E.
Lawrence's career, and himself became acting director of the Arab
Bureau in Cairo during the First World War, also attending the
Versailles and Sevres peace conferences. This 1902 book is a
regional study of the area from the Balkans to Iran, including
north-east Africa. His survey, broadly based in geographical
determinism, discusses geology, climate, and communication routes,
as well as population distribution, ethnicity, and agriculture -
including prescient observations about the conflicts of geography
and ethnicity - and provides fascinating evidence for the British
perception of the area in the build-up to the conflict. It also
illuminates the close relationship between archaeological and
political interests in the period and Hogarth's wide-ranging career
in both fields.
