Book Overview
"Definitive. . . . Deeply researched and pondered." "A literary biography of the same caliber as Richard Ellmann's James Joyce." These words of praise from Edmund Morris in the New York Times and Michael Dirda in the Washington Post are but some of the acclaim that greeted Martin Stannard's Evelyn Waugh: The Early Years 1903-1939. This eagerly awaited second volume, spanning the years from World War II to Waugh's death in 1966, completes the portrait of one of the foremost writers of the century. This was the period of some of Waugh's greatest work, including Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One, and the Sword of Honour trilogy.

Penetrating, Fascinating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
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.
