This volume is part of the Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh critical edition, which brings together all Waugh’s published and previously unpublished writings for the first time with comprehensive introductions and annotation, and a full account of each text’s manuscript development and textual variants. The edition’s General Editor is Alexander Waugh, Evelyn Waugh’s grandson and editor of the twelve-volume Personal Writings sequence.In winter
1954, Evelyn Waugh took a voyage to Sri Lanka to escape the English cold and recover his ailing health. Visibly unwell when he boarded ship, once at sea he began suffering auditory hallucinations that
pursued him through his ‘holiday’ and back on to an early flight home. He then fictionalized his experiences as The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. This curious novel has baffled and intrigued critics ever since its first publication in 1957 and is now presented in a full critical edition. This new volume charts the creation and publication of the novel and examines its cultural and literary significance, noting every textual change and revision from manuscript to the last edition to be
published in Evelyn Waugh’s lifetime. It has a comprehensive appendix of contextual notes and an extensive scholarly introduction covering all aspects of the history of this text and its place in cultural and
literary history. It draws on newly discovered material, including Waugh’s engagement diaries, to tell the story behind the narrative and explain how fantasy and painful reality intertwine in this highly biographical work of fiction.
