Description
David Jones in the Great War by Thomas Dilworth is a meticulously researched biography that brings to life the story of the modernist artist and poet who served in World War I. Jones's journey from art school to the trenches is one of contrasts, marked by the camaraderie and humour of his fellow soldiers, as well as the senseless brutality of war. This book tells his story through a combination of personal interviews, photographs, and Jones's own wartime sketches and writings. Accompanying the text are seven fully rendered drawings not seen since the war, which bring the story to life with their documentary realism. These works offer a unique glimpse into the experiences of the common soldier during one of the most pivotal periods in modern history.
