More About This Textbook
Overview
Waugh wrote biographies of two very different English Roman Catholics: Edmund Campion (1540-1581) - a Jesuit priest executed for treason - and Ronald Knox (1888-1957), regarded as the most distinguished Anglican clerical to convert to Catholicism since Newman. Both books are indispensable to aficionados of Evelyn Waugh's highly polished prose and penetrating intelligence. This reissue will introduce these two Waugh classics to a new generation of readers.

Biography
Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) was born in Hampstead, England, into a family of publishers and writers. He was educated at Lancing and at Hertford College, Oxford, where he majored in modern history.Waugh's first book, A Life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was published in 1928. Soon afterward his first novel, Decline and Fall, appeared and his career was sensationally launched. In fifteen novels of cunning construction and lapidary eloquence, Time summarized later, Evelyn Waugh developed a wickedly hilarious yet fundamentally religious assault on a century that, in his opinion, had ripped up the nourishing taproot of tradition and let wither all the dear things of the world. Apart from his novels, Waugh also wrote several acclaimed travel books, two additional biographies, and an autobiography, A Little Learning.
