David Jones 
David Jones »s The Grail Mass and Other Works 

Drawing on new archival discoveries, this book presents an authoritative reconstruction of David Jones »s
The Grail Mass,
the unfinished and unpublished project from which came both his masterpiece
The Anathemata – a work described by W.H. Auden as  »one of the most important poems of our times »
– and
The Sleeping Lord and other fragments, his final collection. With detailed commentary on the development and reconstruction of the text, this edition provides a full picture of Jones »s literary endeavours over the second half of his life and further establishes his status as a major figure in the first wave of British modernist writers alongside T.S. Eliot and James Joyce.



In addition to the text of
The Grail Mass, this edition includes a number of unpublished fragments by Jones that emerged from this larger project, complete with textual commentaries.
