Which British writer wrote satirical novels including Brideshead Revisited?

Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) was a British novelist known for his satirical and comic fiction. His works include Decline and Fall (1928), Vile Bodies (1930) and the more serious Brideshead Revisited (1945), which portrays the decline of English Catholic aristocracy through the eyes of Charles Ryder.
