Description

Evelyn Waugh s beloved masterpeice, now in a beautiful hardback edition with a new Introduction by Paula Byrne The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh s novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder s infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them. If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you might like Waugh s Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics. Lush and evocative ... Expresses at once the profundity of change and the indomitable endurance of the human spirit The Times

About the Author

Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College, Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), Black Mischief (1932), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel, Brideshead Revisited (1945), was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.
