| Zusammenfassung: | Several scholars who study David Jones- including William Blissett, Thomas Dilworth, Paul Robichaud, Austin Reide, and David Blamires-note that in Jones's In Parenthesis (1937) the protagonist of his epic poem is a private called John Ball, a name which recalls not only the political and religious leader of the English Peasants' Revolt in 1381, but also the 1887 rewrite of that historical event by the eminent Victorian socialist William Morris in his work The Dream of John Ball (1888). While the connection between Morris and Jones has been noted, Jones's allusions to Morris have yet to be mined to elucidate his portrayal of social structures in In Parenthesis. D'Souza argues that reading In Parenthesis and A Dream of John Ball together reveals that Morris's work anticipates the social and communal preoccupations of In Parenthesis. In Jones's portrayal of the soldiers' communal living one glimpses many of Morris's socialist values, but they are imbued with a sense of the unifying power of sacramental action, as the Catholic Mass stands as the model for ideal community. |
