At the end of this year, Waugh married Evelyn Gardner, but the couple separated two years later. Shortly after this, his comedic satire, Decline and Fall, also went into print. His first book, based on the life of the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was published in 1927. Waugh did not complete his degree at Oxford, and instead enrolled in art school, which he also did not complete. During this period, he had several homosexual relationships. Instead, he gained a notorious reputation for his drinking and his sardonic, unconventional approach to politics and culture. He received a scholarship to attend Oxford University but studied little during his time there. Waugh was a clever and inventive child, writing short stories and plays from a young age.
Waugh’s family moved to the nearby countryside in 1907, and Waugh enjoyed his childhood in this idyllic setting. Evelyn Waugh was born to wealthy parents in 1903 in London.
