The next issue (January/February 2016) of the St. Austin Review will feature several articles on Evelyn Waugh. The StAR, as it is sometimes called, is a Roman Catholic journal devoted to cultural matters. A summary of the coming issue’s Waugh-related contents has been published on the internet:
Sr. Joanna McCormack confronts the âEmpty Minds and Vile Bodiesâ of the âBright Young Peopleâ in Waughâs early novel.
James Morris waxes lyrical on Waughâs âCritical Heritageâ.
Zach Krajacic admires âThe Novelist and the Saintâ in his discussion of Waughâs life of St. Edmund Campion.
Joseph Pearce is âRevisiting Bridesheadâ.
Frank Brownlow laments the woeful state of modern Waugh criticism in âWaugh Mistaken and Brideshead Unvisitedâ.
Nathan Turner compares âEvelyn Waugh and Hunter S. Thompson on the Human Conditionâ.
James Morris waxes lyrical once again, this time on âThe Characters in Bridesheadâ.
Lux Kamprath is âRedeeming the Times in Waughâs Sword of Honourâ.
