Brideshead Revisited
Brideshead Revisited is often cited as Evelyn Waugh’s masterpiece. Young university students facing chaotic changes in the time between the wars in England come to see the necessity of faith in order to live a meaningful life. Primacy of friendship and love leads to questions of a higher purpose to life than hedonism, materialism, or selfishness.
