Evelyn Waugh: The Early Years, 1903-1939

by Martin Stannard

Book Overview

The Evelyn Waugh who emerges from this fascinating and masterful account is a far different, and a far more complex, figure than the one most readers know. . . . Not only supersedes all earlier accounts of the writer but also is a model of the biographer's art. --Michael Gorra, New York Newsday

Customer Reviews

A great biography

Outstandingly informative. Opens your eyes to the snob in the author - which we readers can forgive, if not for his loyal conversion to Catholicism, but for his unfailing wit he never fails to put to use.
