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. Photographs.

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.
