Visibly unwell when he boarded ship, once at sea he began suffering auditory hallucinations that\n\u003cbr\u003epursued him through his 'holiday' and back on to an early flight home.

This new volume charts the creation and publication of the novel and examines its cultural and literary significance, noting every textual change and revision from manuscript to the last edition to be\n\u003cbr\u003epublished in Evelyn Waugh's lifetime. It has a comprehensive appendix of contextual notes and an extensive scholarly introduction covering all aspects of the history of this text and its place in cultural and\n\u003cbr\u003eliterary history. It draws on newly discovered material, including Waugh's engagement diaries, to tell the story behind the narrative and explain how fantasy and painful reality intertwine in this highly biographical work of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156512174318,"sku":"9780198717836","price":272.34,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198717836.jpg?v=1706211989","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/complete-works-of-evelyn-waugh-vol-14","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
