Praise for this book

"This comprehensive study will surprise even those familiar with Jones' writing and art." --Publishers Weekly

"Will do much to re-establish the reputation of the English painter-poet. Through the exploration of his visual work in relation to his life it exposes the lineaments and patterns of an intensely original mind. It teases out the strands . . . as differing influences weave and interweave." --The Times

"A large and illuminating conspectus of Jones' career. The large format suggests an art book, the abundant text a scholarly monograph . . . mixing analysis with biography and source material." --The Independent on Sunday
