"Evelyn Waugh's early novels...have an essentially satirical motivation. They turn an impartial and comprehensive ironic vision upon the pretensions and follies of every class, profession, race, and even religion. They gave offense to some readers in their own day, and undoubtedly they still do..."
David Lodge, New York Review of Books, 07/15/1999
Review:"Much of...Waugh's iridescent first novel is imbued with [a] breezy, heartless spirit....And most of the delicious elements that were his hallmarks are present from the beginning....In DECLINE AND FALL, Waugh treated all devotional matters as the raw material of farce. But the concept of a capricious cosmos was already jostling in his mind with the notion of original sin."
Christopher Hitchens, Atlantic Monthly, May 2003

Decline and Fall (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780316926072) Waugh, Evelyn Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Little, Brown Company, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 199 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Subtitled "A Novel of Many Manners, " Evelyn Waugh's notorious first novel lays waste the "heathen idol" of British sportsmanship, the cultured perfection of Oxford, and the inviolable honor codes of the English gentleman. Within the book's unparalleled, rampant satire roam at will such characters as the Hon. Mrs. Beste-Chetwynde, Viscount Tangent, the utterly helpless hero, Paul Pennyfeather, stalked by various representatives of "the English country families baying for broken glass, " that refreshing bounder who misbehaves without compunction, Captain Grimes ("I don't believe one can ever be unhappy for long provided one does exactly what one wants when one wants to"), and the equally sulubrious butler, Philbrick, a graduate of the underworld who likes to tell about revolting crimes.
