DAVID JONES: MAN AND POET
John Matthias, Editor
Although his work as a poet was celebrated by T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden, and although his paintings and engravings were acquired by the Tate Gallery and praised by Kenneth Clark, Jones has never received anything like the attention he deserves by the general public or the academy. David Jones: Man and Poet includes reproductions of Jones' visual art and essays on all aspects of his life and work by poets, literary critics, and art historians, an annotated bibliography, and a list of art works by David Jones in public collections.
Contributors include: Kathleen Raine, Michael Alexander, Guy Davenport, R. S. Thomas, John Montague, Anne Beresford, Vincent Sherry, Jeremy Hooker, Teresa Godwin Phelps, John Peck, Eric Gill, Kenneth Clark, Kathleen Henderson Staudt, Thomas R. Whitaker, and others.
"It will remain an invaluable compendium of David Jones criticism
even after many of the contributors have published the full-length
works upon which they are employed." --David Hill, Planet, The Welsh
