Inhalt
As much as this is a biography of Evelyn Waugh, it is also the biography of the family that inspired his best-known novel, »Brideshead Revisited«. The product of a middle-class upbringing and a middling public school, Waugh's experience at Oxford was an awakening. There, he fell in with a sophisticated crowd that had at its center the glamorous Hugh Lygon, second son in an aristocratic Catholic family. Scandal-ridden as well, the eminent patriarch, Lord Beauchamp, was forced to leave the country because of homosexual activities. Waugh became close friends with several of Hugh's sisters, whose doings seemed to exemplify the spirit of the age. Their splendid house Madresfield Court offered the template for Brideshead, just as Hugh provided the model for Sebastian Flyte.
