Many readers consider Waugh's "Sword of Honour" books—"an unplanned trilogy of novels mixing the author's Second World War experience with his social and religious views"—to be his best work; literary critics routinely rank the trilogy as "possibly the best English novel to come out of" the conflict An English Library Men at Arms depicts the Marines at Chatham, the dismal conditions at Deal and Kingsdown and the abortive attack on Dakar, and introduces the dominant theme of the regeneration of faith, a theme not fully resolved until the final volume. Drawn from Waugh's period with the Commandos and at the Allied reverse in Crete, Officers and Gentlemen is "dark, subtle and complex, carrying undercover all Evelyn's disillusionment with the army" Hastings, Unconditional Surrender is based on Waugh's role in Randolph Churchill's mission to aid Tito's Communist partisans in Yugoslavia— a situation rich in irony for the Catholic Waugh, who was painfully aware that he was helping to insure the ultimate rule of a Communist regime hostile to the faith of Yugoslavia's Catholic Croats and Slovenes.

The novels loosely parallel Waugh's wartime experiences. The first was Men at Armsthe third was Unconditional Surrender Sent back to the UK in disgrace at the end of the first novelGuy Crouchback — heir of a declining aristocratic English Roman Catholic family—manages to find a place in a fledgling commando brigade, training on a Scottish island under an old friend, Tommy Blackhouse. Tommy is also the man for whom Guy's wife Virginia left him. Another trainee is Ivor Claire, whom Guy regards as the flower of English chivalry. He Guy learns to exploit the niceties of military ways of doing things with the assistance of Colonel "Jumbo" Trotter, an elderly Halberdier who knows all the strings to pull. He becomes caught up in the evacuation of Cretewhere he acquits himself well, though chaos and muddle prevail. At this time he meets Corporal- Major Ludovic. Ludovic wades ashore in Egypt, carrying Guy. All the others in the boat have "disappeared"[the delirious sapper Captain who was in command disappears, evidently 'precipitated' by Ludovic, but there is nothing in the text to Unconditional Surrender: The Conclusion of Men at Arms and Officers and Gentlemen that the rest of the 'small party' on the boat disappear]. Apparently a hero, Ludovic is commissioned as an officer. In Egypt, Mrs Stitcha character who turns up in other Waugh books, takes Guy under her well-connected wing. She also tries to protect Claire, who was evacuated from Crete even though his unit's orders were to fight to the last and then surrender as prisoners of war. She sends Crouchback the long way home to England, possibly to prevent him from compromising the cover story worked up to protect Claire from desertion charges. Officers and Gentlemen was dramatised for television in along with the two other novels in the Sword of Honour trilogy, featuring Daniel Craig. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

  • Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh's Post-War Fiction
    Brno Studies in English Volume 42, No. 2, 2016 ISSN 0524-6881 DOI: 10.5817/BSE2016-2-6 Carlos Villar Flor Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh’s Post-War Fiction Abstract Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction, especially his acclaimed trilogy known as Sword of Honour, is an indispensable source for a first-hand depiction of Britain’s in- volvement in the Second World War. Waugh’s millitary service in Croatia from 1944 to 1945 strengthened his concern for the predicament of the displaced per- sons and exiles he met there. Perhaps the clearest evidence of this new aware- ness is the privileged space that such characters find in these stories and the degree to which their suffering permeates the narratives they inhabit. My paper discuses Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile in the final stages of the war trilogy and provides a historical background to his presentation of displaced persons, using Papastergiadis’s concept of deterritorialization as analytical tool. Keywords Evelyn Waugh; Sword of Honour; Scott-King’s Modern Europe; displacement; war refugees; World War II in literature For a first-hand depiction of Britain’s involvement in the Second World War, Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction is an indispensable source, especially his war trilogy known as Sword of Honour, which has received considerable critical acclaim.1 Very little, however, has been said about Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile, even though these issues play a vital role in the final stages of the war tril- ogy. My paper sets out to fill this critical gap by providing a historical background to Waugh’s presentation of displaced persons, individuals removed from their na- tive country as refugees or prisoners who have managed to survive the slaughter but at the cost of becoming homeless, dispossessed and materially or spiritually humiliated.

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).

  • Marston Lafrance SWORD of HONOUR
    Marston LaFrance SWORD OF HONOUR: THE IRONIST PLACATUS Sword of Honour offers plenty of critical problems quite sufficient unto themselves, but they are further complicated by the mere fact of the trilogy's place in the canon. Because it comes at the end of Waugh's long career the reader is bound to be influenced, more or less unavoidably, by his general view of the earlier work, by his overall conception of an author whom he has enjoyed- or resented- for almost four decades. At least three such general views seem to have emerged over the years, and a brief look at them will suggest that a fourth might prove useful. Those readers who consider Waugh "essentially a comedian", 1 for example, should find Men at Arms the most attractive part of the trilogy, and thus it should surprise no one that this book, the least important of the three, has been called "the best of Waugh's novels".2 Readers convinced that Waugh is the twentieth century's archetypal snob, and prejudiced champion of a defunct aristocracy, must find Officers and Gentlemen impossible and parts of Unconditional Surrend er difficult to accept. Those who view him as primarily a disgruntled Tory satirist- probably the majority, and the best of the lot- will find abundant grist for their aesthetic mills throughout the trilogy, but they will also encounter solid blocks of material which their machinery canno t easily accommodate. There is nothing conspicuously satiric about the relationship between Guy and his father,3 about the deaths of Gervase and lvo, Tony Box-Bender's becoming a monk, Guy's betrayal by Virgini a, Guy's devotion to the ideal represented by Sir Roger of Waybroke, Guy's escape from Crete, Mr.

  • ABSTRACT Evelyn Waugh and La Nouvelle Théologie Dan Reid
    ABSTRACT Evelyn Waugh and La Nouvelle Théologie Dan Reid Makowsky, Ph.D. Mentor: Ralph C. Wood, Ph.D. This dissertation seeks to provide a more profound study of Evelyn Waugh’s relation to twentieth-century Catholic theology than has yet been attempted. In doing so, it offers a radical revision of our understanding of Waugh’s relation to the Second Vatican Coucil. Waugh’s famous contempt for the liturgical reforms of the early 1960s, his self-described “intellectual” conversion, and his identification with the Council of Trent, have all contributed to a commonplace perception of Waugh as a reactionary Catholic stridently opposed to reform. However, careful attention to Waugh’s dynamic artistic concerns and the deeply sacramental theology implicit in his later fiction reveals a striking resemblance to the most important Catholic theological reform movement of the mid-twentieth century: la nouvelle théologie. By comparing Waugh’s artistic project to the theology of the Nouvelle theologians, who advocated the recovery of a fundamentally sacramental theology, this dissertation demonstrates that the two mirror one another in many of their basic concerns. This mirroring was no mere coincidence. Waugh’s long-time mentor Father Martin D’Arcy was steeped in many of the same sacramentally-minded thinkers as the Nouvelle theologians. Through D’Arcy’s theological influence as well as the deepening of Waugh’s own faith, he, too, developed a sacramental cast of mind. In reading some of the key works of Waugh’s later years, I will show how Waugh realized this sacramental outlook in his art. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that Waugh’s main contribution to the renewal of sacramental thought within Catholicism lies in his portrayal of personal vocation as the remedy for acedia, or sloth, which he considered the “besetting sin” of the age.

  • THE CHARACTER of CORDELIA in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED by John W
    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Volume 29, Number 3 Winter, 1995 THE CHARACTER OF CORDELIA IN BRIDESHEAD REVISITED By John W. Osborne (Rutgers University) Cordelia is wise about religious matters as Cara is knowing about worldly affairs. Cordelia is the only person who understands Sebastian, and her love for her brother is demonstrated throughout the novel. This love is deep, and she shames Ryder when she speaks of their joint love for Sebastian in the present tense, long after Ryder ceased to care deeply about his friend (p. 308). Years before, Ryder's last sight of Sebastian was when he left the sick man in squalid circumstances in North Africa, noting that nothing more could be done. But Cordelia visits Sebastian in the late 1930's and grasps the fact that while he was lost to his ancestral home he had found a curious peace as a hanger on in a religious community. Cordelia notes that neither she nor her brother, Sebastian, fit into either the secular world or a monastic community (her spell in a convent did not work out) (p. 308). In her soliloquy she tells a confused Ryder that Sebastian is holy and close to God. The still secular Ryder immediately thinks of ''the joyful youth with the Teddy-bear under the flowering chestnuts," and confesses that he never anticipated Sebastian's fate (p. 309). The religious outlook of Cordelia had always been a mystery to Ryder. Both he and Julia referred to Cordelia as odd (p. 221 and p. 300). Ryder finally changes his mind as Cordelia's wisdom penetrates his skepticism (p.

    EVELYN WAUGH STUDIES Vol. 47, No. 3 Winter 2016 CONTENTS Guy’s Deleted Nippers, Part I: The Unending Story of the Ending of Unconditional Surrender 2 Jeffrey A. Manley NEWS Evelyn Waugh Studies 2 Guy’s Deleted Nippers—Part I: The Unending Story of the Ending of Unconditional Surrender Jeffrey A. Manley Introduction Evelyn Waugh had a habit of changing his texts, even after publication. Few of his works of fiction as originally published escaped subsequent alteration at some point. Sometimes these changes were merely corrections or small edits in wording with no impact on the meaning. In others, there were substantive modifications, even years after publication, as in the case of Brideshead Revisited which was revised several times after its first appearance in 1944 in a limited edition. What motivated these changes varied from case to case. Sometimes it was perfectionism on the part of Waugh the draftsman, and in others revisions may have occurred to Waugh as he reread the text, or thought matters over, or may have been suggested to him by friends or readers. In the case of Unconditional Surrender, the final volume of Waugh’s war trilogy, it was a combination of all of the above and then some. The ink was scarcely dry on the first printing before Waugh began tinkering, in the first instance in response to comments from some fellow novelists who had received advance copies. These led him to change the ending, but he also made several other smaller edits throughout the book, some substantive, some stylistic. He later made further alterations in response to reader suggestions.

  • Olivia Manning's Balkan and Levant Trilogies
    In Victory, Defeat Olivia Manning’s Balkan and Levant trilogies and Evelyn Waugh’s Sword of Honour By Frank Hawcroft A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Literature Victoria University of Wellington 2011 1 Abstract Olivia Manning’s Balkan and Levant trilogies (1960-65, 1977-80) and Evelyn Waugh’s Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61) are sequences of historical novels set during the Second World War. This thesis compares and contrasts these sequences as conservative fictional voices from a period of social and literary transition. My first chapter discusses how ideas of heroism and sacrifice prove outmoded and unsupported by institutions during the war. Particularly in Waugh’s trilogy, but to a lesser extent also in Manning’s sequence, models of heroism taken from past texts—such as colonial adventure stories—are shown to be inadequate. Heroism is only possible on a small scale and involves moral compromises. The second chapter considers the treatment of being English outside England. Depictions of foreign countries are considered in the context of the fading of the British Empire and British global power. Colonial life is attractive in a nostalgic sense but is problematic in the present. Episodes about Jewish refugees in both sequences are discussed as symbolising defiance of the entropy of imperial decay as well as attempts to find post-imperial models for intervention. The third and final chapter examines the uses of literature and culture in the novels and how they hint at ways out of the historical binds discussed in the first two chapters.

Reading and writing played a significant role in the home-life of young Evelyn, whose older brother Alec also became a well-known writer. Waugh began writing and illustrating short stories at the age of four, and at the age of nine he and a group of friends produced a creative magazine for their Pistol Troop club. In addition to his youthful interest in writing, Waugh developed a strong interest in religion. When his brother's escapades made it impossible for Waugh to follow the family tradition of attending Sherbourne prep school, his father found a place for him at Lancing, a school with a strong religious tradition.

    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.70, 2020 The Concept of ‘House’ in Evelyn Waugh’s Work: An Analysis of ‘Decline and fall’, ‘Vile Bodies’, ‘A Handful of Dust’, ‘Work suspended’, ‘Brideshead revisited’ & ‘Sword of Honor’ Amit Joshi Assistant Professor, ICFAI Business School, ICFAI University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India Abstract Review of six novels “Decline and fall, Vile Bodies, A handful of dust, Work suspended, Brideshead revisited & Sword of Honor” written by Evelyn Waugh shows, how the terminology “house” figures as an important factor in developing the theme in the novels. Despite many variations of theme in the different groups of his novels, taken without any chronological order, there is one particular aspect, in Waugh’s novels that reappears most constantly, that is the theme of the house; it is an element in his novels about which generalizations can most readily be made. It is a recurring symbol that seems to stand for a great deal that Waugh finds worth preserving and attaining even though it is nearly inaccessible and can rarely be presented to the reader seriously. Study indicates that the Country- ‘house’ and the changing role of his father was Waugh’s concern. ‘House’ occupies an important place in novels written by Evelyn Waugh. Analysis of fictions reveals that Waugh used the character of the house in most affluent manner. ‘House’ for Waugh, symbolizes transmission of customs and beliefs, occasions, morale, and culture. While elaborating the concept of house he deals with the residents with humor, respect and with pity and sorrow.

    ,_.,.,, ' ... :.. ,-, EVELYN w;,UGH NEWSLETTER Volume 4, Number 1 Spring 1970 WAUGH'S BOOK REVIEWS FOR NIGHT AND DAY CalvinW. Lane (University of Hartford) Students of the work of Evelyn Waugh have long been aware of the immense amount of book­ reviewing that Waugh regularly engaged in over many years. This is attested to by the lengthy article listings in the bibliographies compiled by Doyle, Kozak and Linck. What is comparatively little known, however, is Waugh's association as book reviewer with the short-lived magazine, Night and Day, published from July to December, 1937 (a complete listing of the twenty-six review' that appeared under Waugh's by-line may be found in Charles Linck's "The Development of Evelyn -Naugh's Career: 1903-1939" (University Microfilms). Frederick J. Stapp makes brief reference to this periodical in Evelyn Waugh, Portrait of an Artist, but copies are now almost unobtainable. Fortunately, the London Library (St. James Square, London), possesses a full run. The magazine contains a rich trove of articles and creative material, the product of a staff numbering Evelyn Waugh on books, Elizabeth Bowen and Peter Fleming on theatre, Grahom Greene 0n films, Constance Lambert on music, and Osbert Lancaster on art. Occasional contributors included John Betjeman, Herbert Read, Christopher Hollis, Christopher Sykes, James Thurber, V\alcolm Muggeridge, and Anthony Powell. Although Night and Day was modelled after the New Yorker, it was not simply imitative and ~e·;eloped a distinctive tone during its short career.
