Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead revisited": narrative representation of the past

The article considers the problems of memory and representation of the past in British literature on the example of E. Waugh's novel "Brideshead revisited". Narratological approach explains the focus on the mechanism of recollecting the past, the subjects of recollection and the temporal system. The narrator and characters are compared and contrasted in terms of their narrative presentation of the past. The past, present and future in the novel are demonstrated to be of relative, permeable nature. Several models of temporal relations are created.
