The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | Copyright

Doughty, Charles Montagu (1843–1926), is principally remembered for his remarkable record of Travels in Arabia Deserta (1888) carried out in 1876–8, republished 1921 with an introduction by T. E. Lawrence. It is notable for its extraordinary and eccentric style: Doughty mingled his own prose with Chaucerian and Elizabethan English and Arabic. His volumes of verse include the epic The Dawn in Britain (6 vols, 1906), Adam Cast Forth (a sacred drama, 1908), and Mansoul, or the Riddle of the World (1920).
