Following the success of several symposia in 1995 (in Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, Warwick University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David Swansea Metropolitan University), to celebrate the centenary of the poet-painter David Jones(1895-1974), Anne Price-Owen launched the David Jones Society in 1996 at the Artworker’s Guild, Queens Square, London.

Annually, The David Jones Society hosts scholarly meetings on David Jones. Swansea was the venue for the first seminar in 1997. In Sept. 1998, and International Conference took place at Pembroke College, Cambridge, on the theme of Mythology. Poets and Poetry was the subject of the 1999 seminar in Bangor, while in July members spent a long week-end in the Somme region, where Jones was wounded at the Battle of Mametz Wood. In Oxford, 2000, the topics of David Jones Salutary poet-painter, and also The Book of Balaam’s Ass were themes addressed in two respective seminars.

The International conference Text, Texture & Intertextuality was hosted in Swansea in 2002. To celebrate the Centenary of the National Library of Wales, Illuminating David Jones took place in 2007 at Aberystwyth. The Imperial War Museum was the venue for the Poetry Reading by poet members of the DJS, and also a symposium, David Jones’s Military Career, which complemented the IWM exhibition Anthem for Doomed Youth.

In 2008, David Jones & Cultural Identity was discussed at St James’s Palace, London, where the erstwhile Archbishop of Canterbury  gave the keynote address. 2004 saw a return to the battlefields of France under the title, Cook’s Tourists, and in 2005 we took a comprehensive walk around Capel-y-ffin, followed by a ‘pilgrimage’ to N Wales in 2006. The 2009 seminar on Icons & Images took place at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, while Washington DC was the venue for the 2011 3-day conference Culture & Artefact. Borders was the theme considered at Ladywell cemetery in collaboration with the Friends of Brockley & Ladywell cemeteries, 2012.

In addition walks around Jones’s old haunts, including Rotherhithe (1998 & 2012), London churches (1999), and Harrow (1997, 2000, 2002), as well as visits to galleries with holdings of his works, also form part of the David Jones Society itinerary.

Brasenose College, Oxford is hosting the 2014 conference, David Jones: Christian Modernist?, 11 – 15 Sept. Anne Price-Owen is the keynote speaker.
