Humour Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh IPA /ËiËvlÉªn ËwÉË/ October 28 April 10 ) was an English writer , best known for such satirical novels as Decline and Fall Vile Bodies Scoop A Handful of Dust and The Loved One , as well as for broader and more personal works, such as Brideshead Revisited and the Sword of Honour trilogy, that are influenced by his own experiences and his conservative and Catholic viewpoints. Many of Waugh's novels depict British aristocracy and high society, which he satirizes but to which, paradoxically, he was also strongly attracted. In addition, he wrote short stories, three biographies, and the first volume of an unfinished autobiography . His travel writings and his extensive diaries and correspondence have also been published. In 1944, American literary critic Edmund Wilson pronounced Waugh "the only first-rate comic genius that has appeared in English since Bernard Shaw while Time magazine declared, in a 1966 obituary, that he had "developed a wickedly hilarious yet fundamentally religious assault on a century that, in his opinion, had ripped up the nourishing taproot of tradition and let wither all the dear things of the world."

Extractions: Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) English writer, regarded by many as the leading satirical novelist of his day. Among Waugh's most popular books is BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (1945), depicting the Oxford world of the late 1920s. It was made into a highly successful television series in 1981, starring Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. Waugh wrote sixteen novels. He also published travel books and biographies. 'I have been here before,' I said; I had been there before; first with Sebastian more than twenty years ago on a cloudless day in June, when the ditches were creamy with meadowsweet and the air heavy with all the scents of summer; it was a day of peculiar splendour, and though I had been there so often, in so many moods, it was to that first visit that my heart returned on this, my latest." (from Brideshead Revisited Evelyn Waugh was born in London into a comfortable middle-class family. Catherine (Raban) Waugh, his mother, was born in India, but grew up in England. Evelyn had a better relationship with her than with his his father, Arthur Waugh (1866-1943), a publisher and literary critic, who preferred Evelyn's older brother Alec. Waugh was educated at Lancing College, Sussex, and at Hertford College, Oxford, where he read modern history.

ALDOUS HUXLEY IN 1928: publicity shot for Point Counter Point EVELYN WAUGH AT 26 (1929); a painting by Henry Lamb WHAT'S THE TOPIC ABOUT? Many British writers over the centuries have employed the tactic of bitter humour to expose the torpor of thought, the conventionalities and the hypocrisies of the life around them. This course will examine selected works of the two greatest satirical novelists active in the inter-war and post-war years, Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) and Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966). The texts have been chosen to encompass a variety of forms within the genre of fictional satire: the comedy of manners, the dystopia, the 'house party' novel, the 'Californian' novel, etc. This topic is partially interdisciplinary in form, combining literary criticism and social history, and because satire is a literary form bound tightly to a particular time you will need to do some background reading into the social and cultural history of England over the relevant period. Before starting the course, or at least in the first week, I advise you to read a simple guide to satire as a form (eg M.J.C. Hodgart, Satire , 1969) and an illustrated social history of the period (eg Susan Everett, London: The Glamour Years 1919-1939 HOW IS IT TAUGHT?

These words of Evelyn Waugh, written in "intense delight" to Edward Sackville-West after the latter had informed him of his intention to be received into the Catholic Church, represent perhaps the most succinct and sufficient description of the process of conversion ever written. Waugh's own conversion from the "absurd caricature" of ultramodernity to the "real world" of Catholic orthodoxy was greeted with astonishment by the literary world and caused a sensation in the media.

http://www.drones.com/waugh.html

Extractions: P. G. Wodehouse Evelyn Waugh is perhaps most known to Wodehouse fans as the person whose glowing review graces the back of the Penguin editions of the Wodehouse books. There he is quoted as saying ``Mr Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.'' Here are some more things that Mr Waugh said about Mr Wodehouse. "I am confident that Mr Wodehouse's characters will live. It is the half-real characters of the ordinary popular novelist who disappear. Literary characters may survive either through being so real and round that they are true of any age and race, or through being so stylized that they carry their own world with them. [...] of the second [group] are Mr Wodehouse's characters. They live in their own universe like the characters of a fairy story. [...] Mr Wodehouse's characters are purely and essentially literary characters. We do not concern ourselves with the economic implications of their position; we are not sceptical about their quite astonishing celibacy. We do not expect them to grow any older [...] We are not interested in how they would `react to changing social conditions' [...] The `Drones,' with its piano, swimming baths, sugar throwing, and borrowing and lending of fivers, has no conceivable resemblance to any London club; its Beans and Crumpets even wear a distinguishing archaic costume of spats [...]; their language has never been heard on human lips. Their desperate, transitory, romantic passions are unconnected with the hope or fear of procreation; age in their world is usually cantankerous, extreme youth, obnoxious; they all live, year after year, in their robust middle twenties; their only sickness is an occasional hangover. It is a world that cannot become dated because it has never existed." [1939]

Extractions: By William F. Buckley Jr. EDITOR'S NOTE: This obituary appeared in the May 3, 1966, issue of National Review I once encountered a very angry lady in Dallas, Texas, who announced herself head of a vigilance committee to keep dirty books out of the local libraries, and we talked a bit. I forgot just how the conversation moved, but at one point I said that to pull out all the salacious passages from modern literature would require the end of individual reading. All of us would have private readers, like the old eccentric who forced his prisoners to read to him the works of Charles Dickens in the novel by Evelyn Waugh. Who, asked the lady book critic, was Evelyn Waugh? The greatest English novelist of the century, I ventured, but on ascertaining that he was not a dirty writer, she lost all interest, and went off to look for more dirty books to rail against. I wrote Waugh and told him about the episode. My letter did not include any reference to any business matter, so I knew he would not reply to it; but I knew the little story would appeal to his sense of satire, so strongly developed as to make him, in the judgment of the critic Edmund Wilson, the "only first-rate comic genius the English have produced since George Bernard Shaw."

Evelyn knew how to slather the hate on thick. Perhaps he felt a strange aversion to things he knew he was about to like, as sometimes happens, at least to me. Anyway, his first few letters referencing Buckley are pretty hilariously mean, almost as glibly, deliciously unfair as his treatment of Edmund Wilson in the Paris Review interview, in which he discarded the Grand Pooh-Bah of American Letters like a stray hair on a jacket sleeve.

http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/54oct/rolo.htm

Extractions: W HEN blurb writers are caroling the praises of some newly emerged maestro of sophisticated farce, they can seldom resist the temptation of comparing him to "the early Evelyn Waugh." Despite the fact that Brideshead Revisited which introduces the "later" or "serious" Evelyn Waugh has sold many more copies in the United States than all of Waugh's other books put together, his name, at least among the literary is still most apt to evoke a singular brand of comic genius. He is, par excellence, an example of the artist who has created a world peculiarly his own. The adjective "Waughsian" is too much of a tongue twister to have passed into our vocabulary, but a substitute phrase has "It's pure Evelyn Waugh." "Pure Evelyn Waugh." The expression evokes a riotously anarchic cosmos, in which only the outrageous can happen, and when it does happen is outrageously diverting; in which people reason and behave with awesome inconsequence and lunatic logic. A primitive ruler, eager to be modern, is induced by a wily contractor to purchase boots for his barefoot army: the savages happily heat up their cookpots and devour the boots. An Oxford porter says to an undergraduate who has just been expelled: "I expect you'll be becoming a school master, sir. That's what most of the gentlemen does, sir, that gets sent down for indecent behaviour." On the planet where Waugh's comic novels have their being, Oxford and Mayfair are as barbarous in their way as darkest Azania.
