The Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh

Cecil Beaton, Randolph Churchill, the BBC .... English writer Evelyn Waugh was not short of enemies. He was infamous for both witty spats and long-running feuds, and many of his adversaries ended up lampooned in the pages of his novels. As Oxford University Press  launches its new edition of the Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh, general editor Alexander Waugh Barbara Cooke, editor of Waugh's autobiography, and Waugh biographer and editor Ann Pasternak Slater will be working over Waugh's extensive blacklist in Waugh's alma mater, Hertford College.
This lighthearted discussion will take place in the dining hall, overseen by the portrait of Waugh's first and best nemesis: his history tutor, C. R. M. F. Cruttwell.
**** PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCESS TO THE HALL IS UP A SPIRAL STAIRCASE WITH NO LIFT *****
