Testo aggiuntivo
Poet of the Medieval Modern is an impressive and worthwhile read for its original archival research,...While this monograph will most deeply interest Jones scholars, other readers interested in modernist engagements with early medieval texts and modernist re-imaginings of history will find themselves rewarded with fresh insights into both topics through the extraordinary depth of Jones's poetry.
