| Résumé: | 'Narrating Communion' investigates David Jones's relationship with the past via his relationship with modern and pre-modern disciplines of historiography. A contrast is drawn between modern "critical" historiography and chronicle mode. The Anathemata is deeply indebted to contemporary scholarship, but Jones cannot weave new data into the pattern of his epic poem without drawing in various ways on the chronicle tradition. This unusual marriage of historical modes and styles is a necessary condition for the modern epic poem Jones intends The Anathemata to be, and his account of Gwenhwyfar's communion illustrates these processes in poetic action, both dramatic and lyric. |
