Evelyn Waugh: 1924-1966Fairleigh Dickinson Univ 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. |

Halaman 32 - Aylwyn and finds the baffled and very tragic figure of an artist born into an age devoid of artistic standards ; a man of the South, sensual, indolent, and richly versatile, exiled in the narrow, scrambling, specialised life of a Northern city; a mystic without a creed ; a Catholic without the discipline or consolation of the Church ; a life between the rocks and the high road, like the scrub of a Southern hillside, sombre, aromatic, and impenetrable.
Halaman 76 - Sonia, would you think it bloody of me if I volunteered for special servicje?" "Dangerous?" "I don't suppose so really. But very exciting. They're getting up special parties for raiding. They go across to France and creep up behind Germans and cut their throats in the dark.
