Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited: A Commentary, Part I

In part one of his commentary on Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, Dr. White delves into the details of the novel, in particular its characters. He maintains that the book is about God: about the operation of Divine grace within the world. A novel in two parts –– Book One and Book Two –– Waugh’s opus holds up a mirror to the face of nature, and is an example of magnificently simple literary structure written with artistic perfection. White emphasizes these elements by reading excerpts from the book in his inimitable dramatic style.
