{"product_id":"david-jones","title":"David Jones - Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet","description":"Among the revolutions of the last century, none was more important or potentially more lasting than the one in the arts called \"Modernism\". Among the giants of that movement were writers who changed our conceptions of poetry and prose forever. Now, well into the new century, we can look back to admire and reflect on figures from that period. Last year saw biographies of two monumental poets of Modernism: Robert Crawford's first volume on T. S. Eliot, and David Moody's concluding third volume on the life of Ezra Pound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are excited to announce the first full–length critical biography of the third member, too often overlooked, of that extraordinary group. The beautifully illustrated \u003ci\u003eDavid Jones: Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet\u003c\/i\u003e by Thomas Dilworth will stand for generations as the great biography this wonderful artist deserves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJones (1895–1974) was a painter, a wood– and copper–engraver and maker of painted inscriptions, but it was as a poet that he left his most lasting mark. Eliot called him \"one of the most distinguished writers of my generation\" and Dylan Thomas said he \"would like to have done anything as good as David Jones has done.\" Auden praised his poem \u003ci\u003eIn Parenthesis\u003c\/i\u003e as \"the greatest book [ever] about the Great War\", and \u003ci\u003eThe Anathemata\u003c\/i\u003e as one of the \"truly great poems in Western Literature.\" His work, the whole of it, enables him to stand alongside Eliot, Pound, and James Joyce as an incomparable figure in literary Modernism.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50972587786528,"sku":"9781619029217","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781619029217.jpg?v=1764175012","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/david-jones","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
