Oxford held a special place in Evelyn Waugh's imagination. So
formative were his Oxford years that the city never left him,
appearing again and again in his novels in various forms. This book
explores in rich visual detail the abiding importance of Oxford as
both location and experience in his literary and visual works.
Drawing on specially commissioned illustrations and previously
unpublished photographic material, it provides a critically robust
assessment of Waugh's engagement with Oxford over the course of his
literary career. Following a brief overview of Waugh's life and
work, subsequent chapters look at the prose and graphic art Waugh
produced as an undergraduate together with Oxford's portrayal in
Brideshead Revisited and A Little Learning as well as broader
conceptual concerns of religion, sexuality and idealised time. A
specially commissioned, hand-drawn trail around Evelyn Waugh's
Oxford guides the reader around the city Waugh knew and loved
through locations such as the Botanic Garden, the Oxford Union and
The Chequers. A unique literary biography, this book brings to life
Waugh's Oxford, exploring the lasting impression it made on one of
the most accomplished literary craftsmen of the twentieth century.
