Much has also been said about the homoerotic undertones of Sebastian and Charles’ friendship. Waugh’s nostalgic prose takes us to Venice, Morocco and the English countryside, in a novel preoccupied with Catholicism versus the individual and the decline of the English nobility. Sebastian takes Charles to his family home, Brideshead, where he becomes captivated by his sister Julia, and their cursed Catholic family, but most of all, by the house itself.
Whilst studying at Oxford, Charles befriends the eccentric yet troubled Sebastian Flyte, who pulls him into his life of privileged decadence. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his. It tells the story of Charles Ryders infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly-disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Narrated by Charles Ryder, he beautifully articulates the fading aristocratic world of the Marchmain family. The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waughs novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. Evelyn Waugh’s wistful masterpiece of a lost time before the Second World War.
