This introduction to Waugh s complete fiction devotes a chapter to
each of his novels in chronological order, providing a lucid
outline of his creative and spiritual trajectory from carefree
unbeliever to committed Catholic, from modernist to traditionalist,
from comic satirist to ironic realist. The critical analysis of
each novel is preceded by a biographical introduction with an
unprecedented focus on apparently trivial experiences in Waugh s
life which had a significant impact on the themes, images, and
structures peculiar to that novel. Waugh always rated his
linguistic and structural craft as a novelist above the generally
admired criteria of characterisation and psychological realism
inherited from the nineteenth century novel. This study aims to
show exactly how ingeniously and wittily his novels are
constructed, and how vitally his art is allied to his profoundly
moral vision. It is an energetic apologia for an author commonly
accepted as a comic stylist, and denigrated as a reactionary bigot
of unspeakable opinions."
