Lost Evelyn Waugh letters reveal thwarted love for ‘bright young thing’

From the Guardian:

She was known as Teresa “Baby” Jungman, a beauty among the bohemian “bright young things” of 1920s English society, whose high-class hedonism inspired Evelyn Waugh to write Vile Bodies. She was also the unrequited love of Waugh’s life, and the recipient of a huge number of letters from the author which, seven years after her death at the age of 102, are finally to be published.

Exciting news for all EW enthusiasts, particularly the Society members who heard Alexander Waugh tell the story of his discovery of the letters at the 2011 Evelyn Waugh Conference in the UK.
