David Jones (1895-1974) was a British soldier, engraver, artist, and poet. T.S. Eliot said of Jones: “Of major importance…One of the most distinguished writers of my generation.” He was also praised by Igor Stravinsky and Seamus Heany. W.H. Auden celebrated “In Parenthesis” as a masterpiece and the greatest book about the First World War. This is our first episode exploring the life and faith of David Jones. Thomas Dilworth wrote a wonderful biography on Jones, which you can find here. We also mention two other books by David Jones, “The Anathemata” and “Epoch and Artist.”
