I believe that Waugh was a full-blown schizophrenic. The dichotomy between his aristophiliac snobbery and the acute observation and wit of his novels is really quite profound. I think his best book could have been a satire of his outer persona. What a cutting demolition that would have been. Of course, his alcoholism was a huge factor. ( I'm sure that the definition of Psychosis should be extended to include alcohol induced psychosis.)
Peter York is smart. Betjeman, Waugh and Cecil Beaton are the aristocrats best propagandists!
