Evelyn Waugh: A Literary Biography, Volume 2Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1996 - 198 halaman Waugh's experience, however, is only part of the story. By the time he was seven, he had started to write, and by 1924, he had produced a series of diaries, a number of letters, and an assortment of poems, plays, and stories. These early works are not very well-known, and they are not easy to understand without some background on Waugh's early life. Author John Howard Wilson places each of Waugh's juvenile works in a biographical context, explaining obscure references and demonstrating that Waugh based most of his writing on his experiences. As a young man, Waugh discovered that he could use writing to reconsider the dilemmas he had confronted in life, articulating options and suggesting possible solutions. |
