proposal. Gaps of more than three days occur at several points on the trip. There may be other lectures that have not turned up. We will keep looking and hope that our readers will do likewise. The stops on the 1949 tour are described in Part 2 of this paper.

Notes [1] Waugh also stopped in New York and Washington on the way to Mexico in 1938 to research Robbery Under Law (in the USA, Mexico, An Object Lesson). He complained about heat in New York City and remarked that the train might have been better than the ship he took from New York to Mexico: we have found no other record of his impressions of the USA from 1938. [2] What follows relating to Fr. Talbot and his role in Waugh’s lecture tour is largely summary of “Evelyn Waugh in Baltimore: 1948 and 1949” by Nicholas Varga, late archivist of Loyola- Notre Dame Library, Evelyn Waugh Newsletter 19.1 and 19.2 (Spring and Autumn 1985). Varga drew on correspondence between Talbot and Waugh in the Loyola-Notre Dame Library archives as well as his own research, experience, and contacts in Baltimore; we make no claim to original scholarship regarding plans for the tours. Quotes from correspondence between Waugh and Fr. Talbot are from Varga’s essays. [3] Robert Francis Wilberforce (1887-1988) was chief religious propagandist and librarian at the British Information Service in New York’s Rockefeller Center in the early 1940s. He is said to have supervised Isaiah Berlin at the BIS before Berlin moved to the British Embassy in Washington during World War II. [4] Full texts of the letters between Waugh and Fr. Talbot are in Varga’s essays in EWN. [5] The title of the lecture varies from place to place, but the subject was always the same. [6] Eight letters from Waugh to his wife, dated from 4 November to 21 December 1948, are archived in the Evelyn Waugh Papers at the British Library: Manuscripts, Add. 81708. [7] Leigh died in 1992, but the Leigh Bureau continues to provide services for celebrity lecture tours. Unfortunately, they do not preserve records from 1949 and could not provide details of Waugh’s tour. [8] In a letter to his wife, 20 November 1948, Waugh mistakenly places this session at Loyola College, Baltimore, not at BC. Letters, 290. [9] Waugh may have believed that he vetoed the movie, but Professor Davis shows that the studio decided independently not to proceed (Mischief in the Sun, 30-55). [10] “Evelyn Waugh: The Loved One Revisited,” Boston Sunday Globe Magazine, 26 June 1966: 11-16. [11] Waugh’s own description of the meeting is in his Letters (292-93). [12] Howard E. Hugo, “Harvardiana: Vile Bodies,” Harvard Magazine, January-February, 1978, 94, and letter of John Conway, March-April, 1978, 93. Jeffrey Heath in The Picturesque Prison (1982) refers to the article about Harvard, mentioning Hugo’s recollection of “antiphonal exchanges” between Waugh and Bowra, such as “How too, too depraved, how sick-making, how utterly too much, now really” (49). Heath interprets this example as Waugh’s love of “witty, allusive conversation and … endless (but stylish) gossip.” As remarked, however, in the next issue of the magazine, it seems unlikely that Waugh would have spoken in this 1920s fashion in
