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.

Reviewed by Donat Gallagher A Slow Build 25 Evelyn Waugh’s Satire: texts and Contexts, by Naomi Milthorpe. 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).

However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. 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).

  • 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.

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.

Nigeria, the show case of British colonial rule and Empire, and transfer to independence, was at the point of disintegration in 1967. A section of the country, the Eastern region had dared to do the unthinkable at that time, to secede. The British and Nigerian governments were determined that it would not happen. The break away region, which called itself Biafra was blockaded by land, air and sea, and starved of weapons and the means of livelihood.

  • Waugh at Play
    REVIEW ARTICLE Waugh at Play BRUCE STOVEL LIKE SAMUEL JOHNSON, whom he resembled in many ways, Evelyn Waugh enacted his art in his life as well as distilling it into literature. His viva has the same panache as his formal writ• ing — the same abrupt reversals, the same puzzling inconsisten• cies, the same irrepressible elegance. This is one reason why, since his death in 1966, we have learned little that is new about his novels, but a great deal about the man and his life. The five books considered here — Mark Amory's edition of Waugh's let• ters,1 Robert Davis' study of Waugh's revisions to his manu• scripts,2 Jeffrey Heath's account of Waugh's ideas and their rela• tion to his fiction,3 Paul Fussell's book about British travel writers between the wars,4 and Calvin Lane's reader's guide to Waugh5 — belong on the bookshelf of new work by and about Waugh the man, where they join his diaries,6 the authorized biography by Christopher Sykes,7 a volume of Waugh's essays and reviews,8 memoirs and reminiscences by those who knew him,9 and sixteen volumes of The Evelyn Waugh Newsletter.10 True, Davis and Heath provide important new readings of the novels, but both approach them within contexts drawn from the life, and, if Lane's book consists mainly of a sensible running commentary upon the fiction, he makes telling use of Waughiana throughout (particularly of Waugh's confrontations with radio and TV interviewers). What have we learned from this posthumous material? For one thing, that Waugh did not lead a life of allegory : his novels draw much more directly upon his own experience than anyone had suspected.
