The fullest account of Evelyn Waugh yet published, rejecting the stereotyped image of Waugh and revealing a more complex and serious artist behind the malicious clowning.

Penetrating, Fascinating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evelyn Waugh: The Later Years, 1939-1966 (Paperback)
As literary biographies go, this is pure excellence. One gains a better understanding of not just Waugh's writing, and not just the personality behind the writing, but also the social and historical context that helped shape Waugh. Martin Stannard has done an incredibly comprehensive job. But the fascinating Evelyn Waugh stands up to such scrutinizing detail.

disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evelyn Waugh: The Later Years, 1939-1966 (Paperback)
Very verbose, little power, read Patey if you are truly interested in Waugh. It is a pity someone of such little breeding has addressed Waugh at all.
