Evelyn Waugh was one of the most autobiographical novelists of all time and his literary life and personal life were inextricably linked. David Wykes’s insightful study shows that the complex ideas Waugh held about himself as a writer are essential for our understanding of his work. In his writing, fiction and non-fiction, Waugh depended and drew on reality, seeing himself as a historian - a major driving force in his literary life.
