520 |a Critics have long recognized that typological interpretation constitutes a key element of David Jones' poetry, but the technique plays a more complex role in his poetics and theory of history than has been recognized. Jones's depictions of soldiers in In Parenthesis and The Sleeping Lord exemplify his unique variety of typological interpretation. His use of typology does not impose static spiritual significance on the figure of the soldier. Rather, his combatants contain multiple potential typologies, even embodying contradictory types at the same time. This technique constitutes an innovation upon biblical models of typology, where an individual figure functions linearly as the fulfillment of an earlier type (e.g. Old Testament sacrifices serve as types of Christ). When Jones allows individual figures like Roman soldiers or Dai Greatcoat to embody both sacrificial victims and murderers, this complicates the model, leaving room in his work both for redemptive symbolic resonance and for historical particularity and individuality.
