Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
Written at the end of the World War II, this novel mourns the passing of the aristocratic world which Waugh knew in his youth and recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by the austerities of war. In so doing, it provides a study of the conflict between the demands of religion and of the flesh.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.
