Rubbed edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of literary autobiography, The Diaries of Evelyn Waugh chronicles the inner life of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated and acerbic British novelists, spanning decades from his turbulent school years through his distinguished career as a writer. Edited by Michael Davie, the volume presents an unfiltered record of Waugh's sharp observations on society, religion, travel, war, and the parade of personalities he encountered across aristocratic drawing rooms and distant battlefields alike. The tone is unmistakably Waughian — sardonic, witty, and at times startlingly candid — offering readers a portrait of a man whose private voice was every bit as compelling as his fiction. The diaries illuminate the biographical roots of his major novels, revealing how lived experience fed the imagination behind works such as Brideshead Revisited and Scoop. For admirers of Waugh's prose and students of mid-century English literary culture, this collection stands as an indispensable primary document.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887880024283,"sku":"2026200007646-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7f297ec4-186c-415e-ac5f-5e778a53bc91.png?v=1781747607","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007646-secondhand-the-diaries-of-evelyn-waugh","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
