	Evelyn Waugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Waugh converted to Catholicism and, after his marriage to Gardner was annulled by the Church, he married the Catholic Laura Herbert, daughter of Aubrey Herbert.

		Waugh saw himself as a craftsman whose medium was the English language: someone responsible for shaping a coherent sentence, choosing the exact words to convey the exact meaning the author implied.

	St. Evelyn Waugh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Waugh was also a world-class eccentric, and it is to this dimension of his personality that many commentators have been drawn in the course of reviewing Martin Stannard's work.

		Waugh was essentially a monist in his vision of Church, culture, and state, and he would have regarded Murray's call for Catholic participation in the definition of a "public philosophy" capable of sustaining genuine pluralism as something of a low aim, at best.
