Evelyn Waugh: The Later Years 1939-1966

"Definitive. . . . Deeply researched and pondered." "A literary biography of the same caliber as Richard Ellmanns <em>James Joyce</em>." These words of praise from Edmund Morris in the <em>New York Times</em> and Michael Dirda in the <em>Washington Post</em> are but some of the acclaim that greeted Martin Stannards <em>Evelyn Waugh: The Early Years 1903-1939</em>. This eagerly awaited second volume, spanning the years from World War II to Waughs death in 1966, completes the portrait of one of the foremost writers of the century. This was the period of some of Waughs greatest work, including <em>Brideshead Revisited</em>, <em>The Loved One</em>, and the <em>Sword of Honour</em> trilogy.
