About the Author
Humphrey Carpenter, the author of THE BRIDESHEAD GENERATION and THE INKLINGS, among other books, was given unrestricted access to all of Tolkien's papers for his biography of Tolkien, J.R.R. TOLKIEN: A BIOGRAPHY.
From Library Journal
Waugh is the focus of a study that examines Anthony Powell, John Betjeman, Cyril Connolly, Graham Greene, and several lesser figures. Eton and Oxford, experimental homosexuality, snobbery, and self-conscious eccentricity link this group, although Greene stands somewhat apart. Carpenter tracks the effect Waugh's disastrous first marriage had on his subsequent career and his retreat into alcoholic uppercrustedness. Perhaps purposely he does not push his analysis of these damaged personalities back to their nanny-dominated childhoods, nor ask whether their very character malformations are essential to their art. Building on Martin Green's Children of the Sun ( LJ 4/1/76), Carpenter captures the ethos of an important group in English literary culture. For collections with substantial holdings in modern British literature.
