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."--Publisher website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $t Pinfold regained. $t Collapse of elderly party -- $t An unhappy ship -- $t The hooligans -- $t The international incident -- $t The human touch -- $t The villains unmasked-but not foiled -- $t Pinfold regained. 600 10 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $t Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. 600 17 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00034875 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Cooke, Barbara, $d 1984- $e editor. $4 edt $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000474095217 700 12 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $t Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. 800 1 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $t Works. $f 2017 ; $v v. 14. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F82B6AEC56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
