First edition, signed by the poet beneath the frontispiece. Written after Jones's breakdown from shell-shock in 1932, In Parenthesis makes vivid the physicality and trauma of his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, as a private in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, the same unit as Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves…. The book ends with the attack on Mametz Wood during the Battle of the Somme, in which the three poets fought. Writing the jacket blurb, T. S. Eliot declared the work "one of the strangest, most sombre and most exciting books that we have published. It is not a 'war book' so much as a distillation of the essence of war books, and in particular it is the chanson de gestes of the Cockney and the Welsh and the Welsh Cockey in the Great War, men and ghosts, and behind them the shadows of all their ancestors who fought and toiled and died in the Britain of the Celt and the Saxon." Eliot was the first to call the work an "early epic"; Jones's biographer Thomas Dilworth later described it as "the only modern epic poem in English" (p. 200). It won Jones the Hawthornden Prize in 1938; a typescript copy of his acceptance speech is loosely inserted. Thomas Dilworth, David Jones: Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet, 2017. Octavo. Two illustrated plates (one as frontispiece) after etchings by Jones, and a map plate, each with tissue guard. Original beige cloth, spine lettered in grey and in relief on grey ground framed in gilt. With dust jacket. Small bumps to cloth, spots of foxing to endpapers; jacket unclipped, slightly tall as issued, nicks and short closed tears to extremities as expected, minimally rubbed: a near-fine copy in near-fine jacket.

Signed limited edition, number 39 of 70 copies, signed by the author and T. S. Eliot. David Jones's epic poetic memoir, tackling the trauma of his trench experiences in the First World War after his breakdown from shell-shock in 1932, was first published in 1937. In Parenthesis won David Jones the Hawthornden Prize and the prais…e of such writers as W. H. Auden, who considered it "a masterpiece" in which Jones did "for the British and Germans what Homer did for the Greeks and the Trojans". In his introduction, first published in the present volume, Eliot stated that he was "proud to share the responsibility" of originally publishing the "work of literary art which uses the language in a new way or for a new purpose". Eliot notes "I still regard it. as a work of genius". Gallup AB85(a). Octavo. Two illustrated plates and a map plate by David Jones. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in blind and gilt, top edge gilt. With acetate dust jacket. Housed in a custom blue cloth slipcase with illustrative panels. Minor foxing to fore-edge; a fine and notably fresh copy.
