Abstract
David Jones, claims Thomas Dilworth, is “the lost great modernist” (2017, Preface). The author of two major poems, In Parenthesis and The Anathemata, as well as several smaller ones, Jones’s work has been described as curiously absent from the canon, despite drawing praise and status from many impressive sources. This chapter explores the part In Parenthesis plays in the genre of First World War poetry, examining how Jones reflects his own experiences of being a soldier in that War via a complex set of cultural and literary lenses, and how that has been received by the academy.
