520 |a Various literary theorists, including Northrop Frye, have stated that man falls back upon myth when under most strain - he retreats into ritual and myth when civilization is most under threat. It is a dynamic in which the modern ironic mode (exemplified by Modern writers such as Joyce, Kafka, and Beckett) reappears as part of a cycle which Frye saw as dominating the history of literature. Such movement is illustrative of the culmination of Private John Ball's experience in the closing pages of David Jones's In Parenthesis where the wounded soldier encounters the 'Queen of the Woods' - a mythological vision summoned up under conditions one could only describe as in extremis. Yet Jones is also deeply concerned with the sacramental significance - classical, Celtic, and Christian - of what his principal actor and fellow recruits undergo in battle and their accompanying mystical and divine awakening. The following paper attempts to explore the nature of Jones's epic poem from such varying perspectives.
