David Jones - author of In Parenthesis, the great poem of World War
I - is increasingly recognized as a major voice in the first
generation of British modernist writers. Acclaimed by the likes of
T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, and W.H. Auden, his writing was deeply
informed by his Catholic faith and Welsh blood. This book makes
available for the first time a number of previously unpublished
statements by Jones that open new perspectives on his own work and
the religious, political, and cultural engagements of British
modernism more broadly. Annotated throughout, with detailed
commentaries exploring the historical context of each document, the
volume presents the restored text of Jones's essay on Hitler and
includes a letter to Neville Chamberlain, an unfinished essay on
Gerard Manley Hopkins, and the transcript of an interview with
Jones a year before his death. These reveal an unknown side of
Jones and give fresh insight into the influences and assumptions of
20th-century British literary culture.
