History
René Hague (1905-1981) was a printer and scholar. He was born in London to Irish parents, and was educated at the Benedictine Ampleforth College, Yorkshire. While living in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, 1924-1925, he met the craftsman Eric Gill (died 1941), and David Jones (1895-1974) the artist and writer. With Gill, he founded Pigotts Press in 1930, running it until 1956. The press printed David Jones's In Parenthesis in 1937. He wrote A Commentary on The Anathemata of David Jones (Wellingford, 1977) and David Jones (Cardiff, 1975) for the Writers of Wales series, and edited Dai Greatcoat: a self-portrait of David Jones in his letters (London, 1980). Hague married Eric Gill's daughter Joan (died 1980). They moved to Cork, Ireland, in 1963, and he died there on 19 January 1981, a few weeks after his wife.
