Description

A first edition, first printing of Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh.

  • Evelyn Waugh (English).
  • London: Chapman and Hall, 1945.
  • In dust wrapper.


A poignant exploration of love, faith, and societal change in pre-World War II England.


The novel follows Charles Ryder's evolving relationships with the aristocratic Flyte family, particularly his friendship with the charismatic Sebastian Flyte and his complex connection with Sebastian's sister, Julia. Through the lens of Charles's narrative, the novel delves into themes of nostalgia, Catholicism, and the decline of the British aristocracy.


Waugh's eloquent prose captures the essence of a bygone era, blending social critique with a deeply personal and evocative portrayal of characters navigating the shifting sands of love and identity.
