Yesterday afternoon I spent an enjoyable couple of hours giving a tour of Evelyn Waugh's Oxford to two US visitors. Blessed with fine weather I combined a general tour of some of the colleges with an emphasis on Waugh's years at the University. He was at Hertford College from 1922-24 and in the following years was often back in the city. Many enduring and significant friendships were made in those years, as well as bearing fruit in his novels, and one can still, of course, see many of the places Waugh and his friends would have known. It would be perhaps more difficult to provide the bibulous entertainments they enjoyed...
