This new edition of A Handful of Dust provides extensive biographical and contextual notes to help the reader unfamiliar with early modern history. Publisher Description Evelyn Waughs A Handful of Dust (1934) is often thought to be among his best novels. It is a darkly bitter account of the end of a marriage, its causes and its effects. Waugh wrote the book with half an eye on his own recent experience of the break-up of his marriage to Evelyn Gardner. The care and trouble he took over the work are reflected in his successive revisions of its text in manuscript and print. These can be recovered from sources on both sidesof the Atlantic, notably from the autograph and typescript manuscript in the Harry Ransom Center at Austin, Texas, a proof copy of the first edition at the Huntington Library in California, in the serializationin different versions of the first part of the novel in Harpers Bazaar, prepared for the UK and the US markets, and in four editions published in his lifetime in the UK and one in the US. All of these witnesses have been collated in this, the first fully edited and annotated edition of the novel. There is a substantial introduction describing the novels composition and reception, as well as the literary influences on which Waugh drewEDincluding Shakespeare, Dickens, Kipling, and BeatrixPotter. The edition seeks to show Waugh as a consummate craftsman, at work on a painful subject that he treats in comic, tragic, and satirical ways. Author Biography H. R.
