Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2010. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. Subtitled An Anglo-American Tragedy, Evelyn Waugh s The Loved One is a witty satirical novel on artistic integrity and the British expat community in Hollywood, published in Penguin Modern Classics.The more startling for the economy of its prose and plot, this novel s story, set among the manicured lawns and euphemisms of Whispering Glades Memorial Park in Hollywood, satirizes the American way of death and oers Waugh s memento mori. Following the death of a friend, poet and pets mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering into the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park. Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday. There, Dennis enters the fragile and bizarre world of Aimee, the naive Californian corpse beautician, and Mr Joyboy, the master of the embalmer s art.A dark and savage satire on the Anglo-American cultural divide, The Loved One depicts a world where love, reputation and death cost a very great deal.Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist.

Drawing on the work of, among many others, Susan Sontag, Rita Felski, and Peter Lamarque, I argue that P.G. Wodehouse, E.F. Benson, and Angela Thirkell wrote a type of pure comedy I call chaste camp. Chaste camp is a strange beast. On the one hand it is a sort of children’s literature written for and about adults; on the other hand it rises to a level of literary merit that children’s books, even the best of them, cannot hope to reach.

NEWS A Personal Note I Owe It All to Brideshead 29 David Bittner Evelyn Waugh Studies 2 Paul Pennyfeather and the Victorian Governess: The Rejection of Nineteenth-Century Idealism in Decline and Fall Ellen O’Brien Much has been written on the disputed use of satire in Evelyn Waugh’s first novel.1 While critics have offered various readings of the satirical elements in Decline and Fall (1928), the novel also invites discussion of the role of parody, farce, black humour, burlesque, the bildungsroman, the picaresque and the anti-hero in creating an amusing but damning representation of society between the wars. This difficulty identifying a clear style is possibly due to the elusive nature of Waugh’s moral critique, which is so subtle as to be “everywhere felt but nowhere expressed” (Heath 77). His satirical target has been variously described as the “the beastliness of undergraduate societies and the leniency of college authorities toward wealthy and aristocratic members… the morals and outlook of ‘smart’ society,” the mismanagement of private boarding schools, the prison system, and modern religion, (Nichols 51) and more broadly as “inconsistency, hypocrisy, cruelty and folly… a satirical engagement with contemporary anxieties about English cultural decline in the years following the Great War” (Milthorpe 2, 20).

    Alexander Raban Waugh Archive Sherborne School (Archon Code: Gb1949)

    ALEXANDER RABAN WAUGH ARCHIVE SHERBORNE SCHOOL (ARCHON CODE: GB1949) Alexander Raban Waugh was born on the 8 July 1898, the elder son of Arthur Waugh (1866-1943) and his wife Catherine Charlotte Raban (1870-1954). His younger brother, Evelyn Arthur St John Waugh, was born on 28 October 1903. Alec attended Fernden Preparatory School in Haslemere, Surrey. In September 1911, aged 13, he joined Sherborne School and, like his father before him, was a member of School House (a). During his time at Sherborne Alec was a member of the 1st XV (1914) and of the 1st XI (1914, 1915), a House Prefect, captain of the School House XV, editor of The Shirburnian, a member of the Games Committee, and a Corporal in the OTC. In October 1913 S.P.B. Mais joined the School’s teaching staff. Mais was in favour of educational reform and was a frequent contributor to discussions in the press. During the next four years Alec became increasingly influenced by Mais who was later blamed by the Headmaster for encouraging Alec to write The Loom of Youth. In June 1915 Alec was awarded the School English Verse prize for his poem ‘Flanders’ (published in The Shirburnian, June 1915). However, in July 1915, aged 17, Alec was expelled from Sherborne School. In September 1915 Alec joined the Inns of Court OTC and was sent to camp in Berkhamstead for training with his company. From January 1916 to the middle of March 1916 Alec wrote his first novel, The Loom of Youth, posting section by section to his father who corrected the spelling and punctuation.

In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 36, No. 1 Spring 2005 “The Funniest Book in the World”: Waugh and The Diary of a Nobody by Peter Morton Flinders University Evelyn Waugh did not enjoy his Christmas of 1946. It was the second after the war and the national mood was somber. Troops were still being demobilized and the food rationing was worse than ever. As a Christmas “bonus” the government had allowed an extra eight pence worth of meat (half to be corned beef), but bread and potatoes were about to be rationed for the first time. To top it all, the weather was deteriorating and the winter 1946-7 would be the worst in living memory. Waugh, then in his early 40s, was en famille at Piers Court, and that was always a trial in itself. And he felt beleaguered. New houses were encroaching on his land, the socialist “grey lice” were in government, taxes were punitive and he was thinking of emigrating to Ireland. He tried to stay in fairly good humor on the day itself, for the sake of the children, but without much success. He was disgusted by his children’s shoddy presents and the general disorder. Their lunch was cold and ill-cooked. His wife had given him some caviar, but he had eaten that the week before. All in all, it was a “ghastly” day. He had already told his diary that he was looking forward to his forthcoming stay in hospital, for an operation on his hemorrhoids, to get away from them all.[1] The one bright spot of the day was his mother’s gift: a copy of George & Weedon Grossmith’s Diary of a Nobody, the seventh edition (J.
  • The World of Evelyn Waugh

    The World of Evelyn Waugh

    PERSPECTIVES The World of Evelyn Waugh The late Edmund Wilson, America's foremost critic, once hailed Britain's Evelyn Waugh as "the only first rate comic genius in English since George Bernard Shaw." Waugh's more serious work, including Brideshead Revisited and his war trilogy Sword of Honour, has steadily gained renown in this country. Yet until last fall, when they were re-issued here to coincide with the publication of his diary, Waugh's early comic novels were hard to find in America. Here, we present Kathleen Darman's profile of Waugh, followed by several excerpts from those penetratingly funny early books. by Kathleen Emmet Barman A comic, detached ambivalence lies cism.

Smith Abstract In late August 1968, following a British proposal, Nigeria announced it would allow an International Observer Team into the country to show that it was not pursuing a campaign of genocide in Biafra. This article analyses why the United Kingdom pushed for the creation of the observer team, and shows how the team’s work was incorporated into the government’s justifications for its support of the Nigerian government.
