Brideshead Revisited
The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
By Evelyn Waugh
Introduction by Paula Byrne
Evelyn Waugh's masterpeice, Brideshead Revisted is an extraordinary mediation on a lost world
The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly-disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognize only his spiritual and social distance from them.
