A Little Learning (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Little Learning: The First Volume of an Autobiography (1964) is Evelyn Waugh's unfinished auto-biography and memoir. It was published just two year before his death on Easter Sunday, 1966. It covers the period of the author's youth and education [1].

In this unfinished work Waugh passes this observation of post-war society in Oxford:

"It seems that now, after the second war, my contemporaries [at Oxford] are regarded with a mixture of envy and reprobation, as libertines and wastrels."[2]
