It should become a classic, enduring study.'\u003cbr\u003e William Boyd, \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Ann Pasternak Slater usefully reverses the main tendency in decades of critical reaction to Evelyn Waugh.  Most studies focus on his early works; Pasternak Slater devotes more space to his later novels and demonstrates their increasing complexity in relation to Waugh’s life, historical events, and aesthetic considerations.  Comprehensive and well written, this volume is a very welcome addition to the handful of good books about Waugh.
