The Lovers of Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) is known today for his novels, including "Decline and Fall", "A Handful of Dust" and "Brideshead Revisited". TV adaptations and his grandson, Alexander Waugh, have kept the Waugh legacy alive. But various scholars allege Waugh was a bisexual author due to his multiple homosexual affairs at Oxford University. Alastair Graham, Robert Pares and Hugo Lygon are delved into as Waugh's lovers. Waugh's female lovers Teresa "Baby" Jungman and Audrey Lucas after his 1928 divorce are also explored.
