Brideshead Revisited is a 1945 novel by English writer Evelyn Waugh. The novel follows the life of Charles Ryder, who narrates the story, from his first meeting with Lord Sebastian Flyte at Oxford University, through Sebastian’s decline and Charles’s growing infatuation with Sebastian’s sister, Julia. The novel covers a period from 1922 to 1939, from Charles’s matriculation at Oxford to the outbreak of the Second World War.
Evelyn Waugh was an English writer of novels, biographies, and travel books. He was also a prolific journalist and reviewer of books. His most famous works include the novels Brideshead Revisited and A Handful of Dust, as well as the semi-autobiographical Sword of Honour trilogy.
There is nothing particularly special about the content or the characters of Brideshead Revisited. However, the novel is notable for its exploration of religious faith and its depiction of the decline of the British aristocracy.
Brideshead Revisited inspires listeners by offering a glimpse into a world of privilege and luxury that is very different from their own. The story is told with nostalgia and longing, which makes the listener feel both envious and wistful.
