The Complete Stories of Evelyn Waugh by Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Waugh's short fiction reveals in miniaturized perfection the elements that made him the greatest satirist of the twentieth century. The stories collected here range from delightfully barbed portraits of the British upper classes to an alternative ending to Waugh's novel A Handful of Dust; from a missing chapter in the life of Charles Ryder, the nostalgic hero of Brideshead Revisited, to a plot-packed morality tale that Waugh composed at a very tender age; from an epistolary lark in the voice of a young lady of leisure to a darkly comic tale of scandal in a remote (and imaginary) African outpost. The Complete Stories is a dazzling distillation of Waugh's genius, abundant evidence that one of the twentieth century's most admired and enjoyed English novelists was also a master of the short form.Evelyn Waugh Sara Haslam is Professor of 20th Century Literature at the Open University. Her research has driven C21st critical reassessment of Ford Madox Ford, on whom she has published for 20 years, most recently as co-editor of the Routledge Research Companion to Ford Madox Ford (2019). She has edited Ford's
fiction and non-fiction and, as editor of A Man Could Stand Up (Carcanet, 2010), she contributed to the first annotated critical edition of Ford's First World War masterpiece, Parade's End (1924-28). Also a specialist in First World War literature, she is currently researching what she has termed
war-time 'literary caregiving'. Her article on Helen Mary Gaskell's War Library was published in 2018; her co-written 'Medicinable Literature: Bibliotherapy, Literary Caregiving and the First World War' is forthcoming in Literature and Medicine. A member of the Waugh project since 2013, she has
written blogs for the 'Waugh and Words' series about her experience of editing Helena.
