Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) is one of the twentieth century's great
prose stylists and the author of a suite of devastating satires on
modern English life, from his first unforgettably funny novel
Decline and Fall, to his last work of fiction, "Basil Seal Rides
Again." Evelyn Waugh's Satire: Texts and Contexts renews scholarly
debates central to Waugh's work: the forms of his satire, his
attitudes towards modernity and modernism, his place in the
literary culture of the interwar period, and his pugnacious
(mis)reading of literary and other texts. This study offers new
exegetical accounts of the forms and figures of Waugh's satire,
linking original readings of Waugh's texts to the
literary-historical contexts that informed them. Posing fresh
readings of familiar works and affording attention to more
neglected texts, Evelyn Waugh's Satire: Texts and Contexts offers
readers and scholars a timely opportunity to return to the rich,
dark art of this master of prose satire.
