A Handful of Mischief: New Essays on Evelyn Waugh is a collection
of essays based on presentations at the Evelyn Waugh Centenary
Conference at Hertford College, Oxford, in 2003. There are twelve
different essays by authors from various countries, including
Australia, Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. The essays cover a wide range of material, from Waugh's
early novel Black Mischief (1932) to his last travel book, A
Tourist in Africa (1960). In addition to essays on well-known
novels such as Scoop (1938), Brideshead Revisited (1945), and
Helena (1950), the collection includes papers on Waugh's library,
his changing conception of Oxford, his writing about religious
conversion, and his role in the British evacuation of Crete in
1941. The authors approach Waugh and his work in various ways, and
innovative essays explore sovereignty, post-colonialism, and
adaptation for radio. Contributors: Baron Alder, Peter G.
Christensen, Robert Murray Davis, Marcel DeCoste, Patrick Denman
Flanery, Donat Gallagher, Irina Kabanova, Dan S. Kostopulos, Lewis
MacLeod, John W. Mahon, Richard W. Oram, Ann Pasternak Slater, John
Howard Wilson.
