hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: Wellingborough, Christopher Skelton, 1977 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xii, 264. Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy is remarkably well-preserved, boasting a tight, square binding with pristine beige cloth that remains entirely free of significant shelf-wear. The gilt tooling to the spine remains exceptionally bright and unoxidised. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and free of foxing or blemishes, retaining sharp corners throughout. The top edge of the text block is unusually clean and uniform. The dust jacket is likewise in superb order, exhibiting only the faintest trace of handling to the extremities, maintaining its clean, unsoiled, and highly presentable appearance. Catalogue Note: This is the true first edition of Renà Hague's seminal commentary. The volume is notably enhanced by a finely rendered frontispiece portrait of David Jones, which serves as the book's sole illustration and offers an intimate visual prelude to the text. Produced by a respected provincial press, the book maintains a strong reputation for its high-quality typographical and production standards. Copies in such well-preserved condition, particularly with the original dust jacket retaining such unblemished clarity and lacking significant sunning, are becoming increasingly uncommon on the open market. Renà Hagueâs A Commentary on The Anathemata of David Jones provides an essential, full-scale guide to the central work of David Jones, one of the most complex poets of the twentieth century. Grounded in both private letters and published sources, this thrilling commentary unpacks the immense substructure of allusion and lived theory that defines Jonesâs masterpiece. Hague, leveraging a profound personal understanding and wide-ranging scholarship, decodes the historical, religious, and modernist elements of the text, cementing this volume as a standard reference work for navigating Jones's profound literary achievements.
