Burns Library, Boston College. Boston College Collection of David Jones MS.1986.001 - Page 4 - Biographical note Born in Brockley, Kent on November 1, 1895, Walter David Jones, known as David, was the third child of James Jones, a Welshman by birth, and Alice Ann Bradshaw, an Englishwoman and an amateur watercolor artist. Jones's Welsh heritage was a large influence throughout his life and work. He enrolled in the Camberwell School of Art at the age of fourteen. When World War II began, he enlisted in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and remained in the trenches until wounded in the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. In 1921 he became a Roman Catholic. In 1922 he joined Eric Gill's Guild of Saint Joseph and Saint Dominic at Ditchling, Sussex, where he learned wood and copper engraving. Jones developed a close friendship with Gill and his family, and relocated to Capel-y-Ffin, Wales in 1924 following their move there. Jones continued engraving, and also worked at the Benedictine community on Caldey Island. He was engaged to the Gills' daughter, Petra; but their engagement was broken off in 1927. Jones's friend Rene Hague married Petra's sister Joan, and the three were to remain close friends. After the Gills left Wales for Buckinghamshire in 1927, Jones divided his time between their new home, his parents' home in Kent, and the residence of his friend and patron Helen Sutherland in Northumberland. The period from 1926-1933 was a prolific one for Jones's art, during which he produced engravings, illustrations, watercolor paintings, and drawings His work was included in several exhibitions at galleries in London and abroad. In 1927, Jones began writing and started what would become In parenthesis; seinnyessit e gledyf ym penn mameu (1937), a combination of prose and poetry about World War I. Although it was not a commercial success, in 1938 it won the Hawthornden Prize. In 1952, Jones published the long poem The Anathemata, which was awarded the Russell Loines Memorial Award for poetry by the American National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1954. He was made Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1955. In 1962, Jones moved to Harrow, where he lived a retired life but continued to correspond extensively with friends. In 1970, he suffered a stroke and a broken leg. He moved to the Calvary Nursing Home, where he died on October 28, 1974. Sources: Blamires, David. David Jones: Artist and Writer. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1971.

Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures. The collection was acquired in 1965 from John Bennett Shaw (Notre Dame alumnus ’37), who purchased it from Evan Gill, Eric’s brother. Since 1965, the collection has been added to selectively.

  • A Choice of Illusions: Belief, Relativism, and Modern Literature
    A Choice of Illusions: Belief, Relativism, and Modern Literature Alastair Morrison Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2015 © 2015 Alastair Morrison All rights reserved ABSTRACT A Choice of Illusions: Belief, Relativism, and Modern Literature Alastair Morrison This dissertation considers how defenses of traditional faith in Britain have adapted to new frontiers of cultural relativism and religious difference. Its contention is that poetry has become central to such defenses. Relativistic thinking would seem to dispose against metaphysical belief; poetry, as a parallel claimant for cultural and expressive particularity, and as a sensuously non-empirical rhetorical medium, offers a way of muffling the dissonance that might otherwise arise from positioning difference and particularity as pretext for claims of universal truth. This study traces formal and rhetorical innovations from the Victorian crisis of faith forward to literary modernism, with a brief conclusion contemplating related developments in more contemporary poetry and religious thought in Britain.

  • The Extraordinary Form and Western Culture
    Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 11 EVANGELIZATION AND WESTERN CULTURE SEPTEMBER 2012 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. Evangelization and Western Culture: Abstract The Latin Liturgical Tradition grew up in the context of, and greatly influenced, the culture of the Latin West, but modern Western culture has turned against the values of the Gospel and presents a particularly difficult field for evangelization. Many aspects of the ancient liturgy are particularly unattractive to this culture, because the values underlying the liturgy have been rejected. These values, including hierarchy and the combination of reason, emotion, art, and ritual, are in fact the very ones most needed in the re-evangelization of the West, and their presentation by the Extraordinary Form is valuable.

  • 215 ART, SACRAMENT, ANAMNESIS Thomas Dilworth. David Jones: Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet. Counter- Point, 2017. Mark Scroggi
    MARK SCROGGINS ART, SACRAMENT, ANAMNESIS Thomas Dilworth. David Jones: Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet. Counter- point, 2017. Mark Scroggins David Jones (1895-1974), Londoner by birth and Welshman by ances- try and conscious adoption, is by no means a “lost modernist,” but he has certainly received far less critical, scholarly, and popular attention than such household names as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams. Within the niche market of twentieth-century poetry, his work has occu- pied a small and very particular sub-niche: prized by students of Great War writing, Anglo-Welsh poetry, and Roman Catholic culture, pored over by scholars of British modernism; but rarely discussed outside of those circles, and even more rarely assigned on classroom syllabi. Thomas Dilworth’s im- pressive David Jones, the first full-length critical biography of the poet and painter, presents itself in part as a recovery project, aimed at making Jones’s work visible and available to a wider public. One can only hope it’s success- ful; at the very least, Dilworth’s book is a splendid example of biography- making, unlikely to be superceded for many decades to come. Many of the “high” modernists born in the last two decades of the nineteenth century have been well-served by biographers, from Richard Ell- mann’s massive 1959 life of Joyce, to lives of Eliot by Peter Ackroyd (sturdy) and Lyndall Gordon (illuminating), to A. David Moody’s recently com- pleted, monumental three-volume life of Pound. There have been several good biographies of Stein, and several quite excellent ones of Woolf.

  • Case 11: Mind Over Matter? on April 29, 2017, the Ditchling Museum of ART + CRAFT Opened a New Exhibit: Eric Gill: the Body
    Case 11: Mind over Matter? On April 29, 2017, the Ditchling Museum of ART + CRAFT opened a new exhibit: Eric Gill: The Body. Gill was one of the finest British artists of the 20th century; his sculptures stand in buildings across the world, including Westminster Cathedral (London) and the United Nations Building (NYC). His sculptures, engravings, and drawings permanently reside in prestigious museums. According to Ditchling’s web page, “[w]ithin Gill’s work, the human body is of central importance; this major exhibition asks whether knowledge of Gill’s disturbing biography affects our enjoyment and appreciation of his depiction of the human figure.”109 The “disturbing biography” referred to is Gill’s sexual abuse of his two oldest daughters during their teens. Prior to mounting the exhibition, Ditchling’s director, Nathaniel Hepburn, convened a workshop that included academics, museum professionals and curators, critics, and journalists to consider not whether, but how, the exhibition might usefully examine this sexual abuse. Journalist Rachel Cooke, a workshop participant, queries: “For me, though, the biggest question remains unanswered: why do this show at all? The darknesses in Gill’s life have been public knowledge... [since] 1989. It is not as though 110 this information is secret. Why force it on visitors?” Certainly some viewers will be distressed—perhaps mightily distressed—to see sculptures and engravings of the abused daughters, executed during the periods of their abuse. For example, abuse survivors may experience flashbacks of their abuse. Members of the more general public are likely to experience feelings of disgust and repugnance in learning how Gill came to acquire such intimate knowledge of his subjects’ bodies.
