Travels in Arabia Deserta, originally published in 1888, is a
two-volume set which describes English poet Charles Doughty's
extensive travels through the Arabian deserts and the discoveries
he made there. The work became well-regarded for its beautiful
prose as well as its extensiveness, which made it a benchmark of
ambitious travel writing in the early 20th century. Written in the
style of the King James Bible, the text is extravagant and
creative. In the 1920's, it was discovered by British Army Officer
T.E. Lawrence, who spurred the book's republication, this time with
an introduction from Lawrence. The book has been in and out of
print since then, but the Cosimo edition is a rare 1921 reprint,
and includes the Lawrence introduction. Volume II contains
Doughty's travels to Ibn Rash d's town (and the people and culture
there), life in Hay l, the journey to Kheybar and his discoveries
and encounters there, the Shammar and Harb Deserts in Nejd, the
Journey to El-Kas m, and more. CHARLES MONTAGU DOUGHTY (1843-1926)
was an English poet and writer born in Theberton Hall, Saxmundham,
Suffolk. He attended King's College London and graduated from
Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in 1864. Among this author's
works are an epic poem in six volumes titled The Dawn in Britain,
published in 1906, and his well-known Travels in Arabia Deserta,
for which he received much praise.
