Book Synopsis Tactical Exercise & Other Late Stories by : Evelyn Waugh
Download or read book Tactical Exercise & Other Late Stories written by Evelyn Waugh and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the fabulous new hardback library of 24 Evelyn Waugh books, publishing in chronological order. Composed between 1939-62, the late stories of Evelyn Waugh are in turn blackly comic and bitingly satirical. In 'The Sympathetic Passenger' a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker, while 'Charles Ryder's Schooldays' provides a hilarious and fragmentary insight into life before Brideshead. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.

Book Synopsis English Schoolboy Stories by : Benjamin Watson
Download or read book English Schoolboy Stories written by Benjamin Watson and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising number of classic English authors wrote school stories, from Mary Shelley and Maria Edgeworth through Evelyn Waugh and Stephen Spender. Coverage spans two centuries of fiction set in the endowed private schools called Public Schools in England. Famous works such as Tom Brown's Schooldays by Hughes and Stalky & Co. by Kipling are described, along with books of accomplished but lesser-known writers such as Charles Turley, Eden Phillpotts, Talbot Baines Reed, and Desmond Coke. In addition to their pure entertainment value, these novels preserve a wealth of cultural information: class attitudes, sexual development, sports history, consciousness of Empire, role of the Established Church, study of the Classics. Biographical sketches are provided for most of the authors.

It helps her feel like she's not alone. When her dad announces suddenly that he's getting married—and that they're moving, Tessa must navigate new friendships and a new stepmother. She knows she should let go of old habits, but that's easier said than done. Her struggle is one that many readers will understand.

Book Synopsis The Vocation of Evelyn Waugh by : D. Marcel DeCoste
Download or read book The Vocation of Evelyn Waugh written by D. Marcel DeCoste and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing against the critical commonplace that Evelyn Waugh’s post-war fiction represents a decline in his powers as a writer, D. Marcel DeCoste offers detailed analyses of Waugh's major works from Brideshead Revisited to Unconditional Surrender. Rather than representing an ill-advised departure from his true calling as an iconoclastic satirist, DeCoste suggests, these novels form a cohesive, artful whole precisely as they explore the extent to which the writer’s and the Catholic’s vocations can coincide. For all their generic and stylistic diversity, these novels pursue a new, sustained exploration of Waugh’s art and faith both. As DeCoste shows, Waugh offers in his later works an under-remarked meditation on the dangers of a too-avid devotion to art in the context of modern secularism, forging in the second half of his career a literary achievement that both narrates and enacts a contrary, and Catholic, literary vocation.
Download or read book Evelyn Waugh written by David Wykes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waugh's life and his literary life exist in fascinating, dynamic relationship. Virtually all of his fiction was autobiographical, yet he maintained that his novels were 'objects', unrelated to the life of their author. This study traces the shifting relationship of ascertainable fact and imaginative fiction throughout Waugh's career, focusing on the endless negotiation he conducted between life and art, and on why, from being author of the anarchic, hilarious Decline and Fall , he transformed himself into the author of the romantic, eschatological Brideshead Revisited .

Book Synopsis Evelyn Waugh by : Michael G. Brennan
Download or read book Evelyn Waugh written by Michael G. Brennan and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Waugh: Fictions, Faith and Family is a wide-ranging survey of the prolific literary career of one of the most popular English writers of the 20th century. Michael G. Brennan here identifies three major themes as central to any understanding of Waugh's work: Catholicism, society and the concept of family. From Decline and Fall (published in 1928) to his final writings, this book draws not only on the major novels and short stories but also Waugh's substantial journalistic output, his private journals and correspondences and unpublished draft manuscripts. Through this comprehensive and systematic exploration, Brennan demonstrates the sustained creative importance of Catholicism to Waugh's literary work. In addition, the book goes on to consider how Evelyn Waugh's descendants - his son Auberon and his grandson Alexander Waugh - have echoed and developed these literary concerns in their own writing.
