The Archive of

Evelyn Waugh Newsletters,

Old Series

This website will, I hope, eventually contain all the volumes of the Evelyn Waugh Newsletter that were published in print form from 1967 to 1998. They were issued under the editorship of Paul A. Doyle. Many distinguished students of the life and work of Evelyn Waugh contributed to the Newsletter, and the preservation of their insights and scholarship for future generations is the major stimulus for the creation of this site.

In transcribing the original print editions of the Newsletters my aim has been to preserve them in the form in which they appeared. There is no attempt to make the site more visually or viscerally attractive. I do not eliminate archaic expressions or perceived trivia or add my own comments on the material. Indeed I do not alter the contents beyond correcting obvious typos and doing the bare minimum that is needed to tailor the material to a new medium. I hope you will agree with me that there is some piquancy in reading that the subscription in 1967 was one dollar, and that for this amount one received all three issues in the year!

I shall transcribe the Newsletters as I receive copies of the originals. I anticipate that the process will take something like two to four years to complete. Keep coming back to this website.

The Newsletter in its present character is published on the internet by Dr. John Howard Wilson of Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania; you may access that archive here.
