Books, Arts & Manners: Infinite Amplitude

The Essays, Articles, and Reviews of Evelyn Waugh, edited by Donat Gallagher (Little, Brown, 662 pp., $40)

The publisher Little, Brown of Boston and the imported editor Donat Gallagher of North Queensland, Australia, in 1977 collaborated to produce a moderately slender volume of selections from the journalistic writings of Evelyn Waugh. That 192-page book, called A Little Order, was evidently considered to have been such a splendidly good idea that the same partnership has now expanded the original notion into the Very Big Order of this literally voluminous, 662-page feast of Waugh.
