In Parenthesis was first published in London in 1937. This book represents the experience of one soldier in the war of 1914-18. It explores themes of War and various topics such as Roman Britain, the Arthurian Legend, and other matters that the writer intricately weaves together.

T.S. Eliot expressed his admiration, stating that the work is a "genius" creation. David Jones, with quiet modesty, begins his profound journey through the carnage of the First World War. By fusing poetry and prose, as well as gutter talk and high music, he captures the wartime horror alongside ancient myth. Having served as an infantryman on the Western Front, Jones presents both a panoramic and intimate portrayal of a world filled with interminable waiting and unforeseen death, all while remaining sensitive to the moments of humanity that illuminate the desolate landscape of war.
