- The decay of the English country estate in Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited" (1944) and Kazuo Ishiguro's "Remains of the Day" (1989) evokes a powerful yearning for lost national glory. Su traces the mutations of the estate novel in the 20th century with reference to these two significant examples, and he explores the reasons this dying genre proves so attractive to authors with very different beliefs and backgrounds.
