Diversity in Unity discusses the work of David Jones both as artist and as poet. Each of the twelve essays in this collection presents new material and in so doing makes more apparent the formidably wide range of Jones's work. The collection brings together experts in different fields. The juxtaposition of contributions by literary scholars, art historians, writers on philosophy and religion, poets and a calligrapher gives rise to a fruitful and stimulating set of cross-connections. The book succeeds notably in harmonizing a multi-disciplinary approach to David Jones. These illuminating essays are written to a high scholarly standard but are at the same time accessible to the non-specialist reader. They take a new and perhaps more critical approach to Jones, an approach which in no way diminishes but rather enhances his achievement.
