10th April 2016 is the 50th anniversary of the death of Evelyn Waugh – hailed by Graham Greene as ‘the greatest novelist of my generation’, yet reckoned by Hilaire Belloc to have been possessed by the devil. Waugh’s literary reputation has risen steadily ever since Greene’s assessment in 1966. Philip Eade’s biography is a biography for a new generation. His book spans the whole of Waugh’s life, presenting the most revealing and in some cases unknown events of his 63 years (1903-1966) in a stimulating and highly readable narrative.
