Book Description Grey Cloth Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1977. First edition. xii, 264pp., a frontispiece drawing of David Jones and a copy of a letter from him. Walter David Jones (1895-1974) was a British painter and modernist poet. One of his best known works is The Anathemata, an epic poem first published in England in 1952. The poem is a symbolic, dramatic anatomy of historical western culture. Composed of eight sections, it narrates the thought processes of one cambrophile (lover of all things Welsh) English Catholic at Mass over the span of roughly seven seconds. The aionm of this commentary is to show, by going through the text page by page, how patient it is of simple explanation and how rewarding, in clarity and pleasure, it is even to the reader who brings to it no remarkable width of reading or depth of learning. The book is bound in the original grey cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The clipped dustwrapper is very good with light shelf wear and slight fading to the spine. The spine ends are lightly bumped with nicks at the spine corners. Seller Inventory # gPoetJones03
