Book description
Part of the fabulous new hardback library of 24 Evelyn Waugh books,
publishing in chronological order over the coming year. The books have
an elegant new jacket and text design.
Rossetti was Evelyn Waugh's first published book. It details
the life and works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Waugh naturally
offers his own critique of this magnanimous Victorian pre-raphelite.
Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903. His first novel, Decline
and Fall, was published in 1928 and it was soon followed by: Vile Bodies
(1930), Black Mischief (1932), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop
(1938). He travelled extensively, served in the Royal Marines and the
Royal Horse Guards and continued to write, winning many prestigious
literary awards. Brideshead Revisited was first published in 1945.
Evelyn Waugh died in 1966.
