ELIOT, THOMAS STEARNS. 1888-1965.

JONES, DAVID. 1895-1974. In Parenthesis seinnyessit e gledyf ym penn mameu. London: Faber and Faber Limited, (1961).
8vo. Publisher's blue buckram, stamped in gilt and gray on the spine, and lettered in blind, original glassine wrapper.

FIRST EDITION WITH ELIOT'S INTRODUCTION, SIGNED ISSUE, number 37 of 70 copies signed by Eliot and David Jones. Jones created important works in both literature and the visual arts, with In Parenthesis perhaps his greatest achievement. In his introduction, Eliot calls it a "work of genius," and separately it has been praised as "one of the great poems of the century" Graham Greene) and "the greatest book about the First World War" which does for "for the British and the Germans what Homer did for the Greeks and the Trojans" (W.H. Auden). An oft-overlooked modernist high spot.
