This volume is part of the Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh critical edition, which brings together all Waugh’s published and previously unpublished writings for the first time with comprehensive introductions and annotation, and a full account of each text’s manuscript development and textual variants. The edition’s General Editor is Alexander Waugh, Evelyn Waugh’s grandson and editor of the twelve-volume Personal Writings sequence.This is the first fully annotated, critical edition of the travel book Ninety-Two Days (1934), Evelyn Waugh’s account of an arduous journey through British Guiana and northern Brazil that provided crucial material for what many consider his finest novel, A Handful of Dust. A biographical and historical introduction places the work in the context of Waugh’s life, and among other travel books written about the area; discusses how the text evolved from manuscript to print; and connects it with other literary works such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, and with the persistent myth of the lost city of El Dorado.
