Présentation de l'éditeur :
Hailed as one of the great modern poets by T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, David Jones is an important visual artist and probably the greatest native British poet of the twentieth century. His poetry is widely regarded as difficult to read. Reading David Jones offers a guided tour of the poetry conducted with commentary, explication, new biographical information, and attention to the influence of his visual art on the poetry. While contributing to scholarship, this book eases the difficulties of modernist form and unfamiliar language and allusions in order to make the poetry assessable to the ordinary reader.
