5.0 out of 5 stars Gill and Jones themselves,could not have written it better, 20 Dec 2000
Readers familiar with the biography of Eric Gill by Fiona MacCarthy [Faber & Faber 1989] and with that on David Jones by Dr. Miles in collaberation with Derek Shiel ['The Maker Unmade' Seren Press 1995] should not be put off by the thought "I'll have read it all before," for this is a captivating study of a four year period spent in the now familiar Black Mountains; but this was 80 years ago when the sound of a horse and cart in the country lanes was rarely eclipsed by the drone of a motor car. Wales has been host to many different Communes down the years: religious, artistic, self sufficient - the Gill menage at the ruined monastery of Capel-y-Ffin was all of these.Anyone interested in why such ventures so often fail should read this book.It was a life of hard work, in Spartan circumstances, for both sexes, on a bitterly cold Welsh hillside. Romance is a tender flower that blooms in such places and so it was for the artist David Jones and the Gill's daughter Petra. In that four years it bloomed, it faded,and it died; the hiatus and trauma is there to see in Jones's Welsh landscapes. He was never again to live in the Land of his Fathers and was to remain a batchelor all his life. Accomplished research lies behind this study of two talented friends. The warmth of the author's admiration for David Jones - that little Musketeer with the horror of war in his face - and his lack of vitreol when it comes 'scandalous revelations' in the life of Eric Gill is so refreshing after half a century of iconoclastic smut-hunters hellbent on debunking our national heroes. In his Preface the editor J.P.Ward promises us a series of introductory books on writers, musicians and painters of the Borders, "written by specialists who write imaginatively and directly about what moves them." This book amply fulfils that aim. My only criticism is that this mouthwatering Preface is not helped by the inclusion of a list of the other forthcoming books in this the 'Borderlines Series' [In the good old days such lists were to be found at the back of books!]
