Hailed as one of the greatest of the modern poets by both T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden, David Jones (1895-1974) was an important visual artist, one of the most uncategorizable and appreciated native British poets of the twentieth century, an essayist, and a notable illustrator of poetry and works for children. Reading David Jones offers a guided tour of Jones's notoriously difficult poetry--accompanied by careful explication, annotation, and commentary--as well as a biographic portrait of this iconic literary figure.
