		Perhaps some VERBUM readers who have tried Brideshead without liking it will dispute that it is "about God." While it is undisputedly true that the Almighty never makes an obvious intervention in the lives of any of the novel's characters, nevertheless He is the central figure.
		The first-person narrator of Brideshead is Captain Charles Ryder, an English officer serving in 1942 during the lowest ebb of Britain's fortunes in the ghastly Second World War.
		Brideshead Revisited, on the other hand, offers modern man both an accurate picture of his own life and an incentive to look back over his past while thoughtfully considering Waugh's alternative.

		Brideshead is one of the historic English houses, the ancestral home of the Flyte family, of whom the head is the Marquis of Marchmain.
		The Ryders are far from poor, but, by the father's choice, they lead a life of gloom, and Charles's first impression of Brideshead is of its splendor [sic] and grace; in fact it is the fountain and all it represents which captivates him.

		Brideshead Revisited celebrates how a culture can become the medium by which peoples of different cultures/languages communicate.
		Thus, Evelyn Waugh's novel, as translated by John Mortimer into a screenplay, is considered a modern masterpiece, as it renders credible how cultures become world-class leaders no matter whether you consider the rise, pinnacle, or fall of that nation.
		Brideshead Revisited is valued as it defines old European money and shows the advantages and disadvantages of such privilege, particularly the conflict between the self and God.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Evelyn Waugh - Books: Meet the Writers
		Although he’s best known for Brideshead Revisited, his melancholy look back at the twilight of the English aristocracy, it's Evelyn Waugh’s genius for satire that truly distinguishes him.
		His acid wit and relentless drive to uncover hypocrisy and pretension make him a writer whose sweet way with words is equally matched by his powerful, almost bitter satires of modern culture.
		Brideshead Revisited is Waugh's most famous novel, but try this short novella set in California to experience Waugh's satirical genius in concentrated form.

		I think so -- and that high praise is after considering the merits of the most recent adaptation by the BBC of 'Pride and Prejudice' and also the brilliant Thames Television adaptation in 1980 of 'Love in a Cold Climate'.
		For those who don't remember, or who were too young to take in 'Brideshead Revisited' on its first time around, this is adapted from one of British writer Evelyn Waugh's finest, certainly his most romantic, novels.
		'Brideshead' is a superb achievement of British television theatre; we are the richer for having it.

		By the time that Evelyn Waugh wrote BRIDESHEAD REVISITED in 1945, he had earned the reputation of one who saw a decline and fall of sustaining Upper Class British values, a descent which he exposed through his satire and one in which he could see no forseeable solution.
		Now in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED, Waugh continues to depict religion as a cover, but this time, it may obscure that for certain people, religion may have a base that provides ongoing faith, even if they lapse into faithless actions.

	Borzoi Reader \| Catalog \| Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
		Written during World War II, the novel mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh.
		At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh’s familiar satiric exploration of his cast of lords and ladies, Catholics and eccentrics, artists and misfits, revealing him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity.
		Brideshead Revisited has a magic that is rare in current literature.

		Brideshead, the family holding, is quite magnificent, and thoroughly fit for a king - a Catholic King - thus making the Marchmaine Clan unique among English aristocracy.
		Brideshead & Lady Marchmaine, as symbols for the Roman Catholic faith, are struggled against, bemoaned, abandoned, denied, but each character in his turn will return penitant to the fold.
		Although the theme is "religion", a drama taking place during the hedonistic post war years could not do without a large dose of the secular world with its sexuality, homosexuality, infidelity, drug addiction.
