“Stannard has been the first commentator to make me not only understand but deeply sympathize with the desperate ambivalence in this great novelist between his passionate Christian concern with saving souls (including, of course, his own) and his almost maniacal scorn for the follies and mediocrity of the common man.” —Louis Auchincloss
“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.
