Biographical Note
Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966), was a British satirical writer whose published works included
Decline and Fall,
A Handful of Dust,
Sword of Honour and
The Loved One, as well as several travel books.
Waugh's conversion to Catholicism in 1930 introduced Catholic themes and subjects to his writing including, perhaps his most
well-known work,
Brideshead Revisited. Waugh was married
twice and had seven children, including the journalist Auberon Waugh; on Easter Sunday, April 10, 1966, Waugh died of heart
failure at his home Combe Florey in Somerset.
