Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) was a prominent English writer known for his satirical wit and sharp social commentary. His most notable works include "Brideshead Revisited" (1945) and "Decline and Fall" (1928), which exemplify his dark humor and critique of British aristocracy. Waugh's writing style is characterized by its precise language, ironic tone, and keen observations of human behavior. He is considered a master of the English novel and has had a lasting impact on the literary genre of satire. "Brideshead Revisited" remains his most famous work, exploring themes of love, faith, and the decline of the British upper class.
