Author. He was a prolific British author of the 20th century. Born the oldest son of author Evelyn Waugh, he was called "Bron." While serving in the Army in June of 1958, he was critically wounded in a self-inflicted machine gun accident. During his long recuperation from his wounds, he wrote his first novel "The Foxglove Saga" in 1960, which was profitable. He studied one year at Oxford. He began his journalism career with "The Daily Telegraph" and wrote for many different newspapers in the course of his lifetime. He was last employed by "The Sunday Telegraph" for a weekly column, writing until December of 2000. For over sixteen years, he wrote his column, the "Diary," for the political magazine "The Private Eye;" a collection of the "Diary" was published in 1976. He wrote with a sharp, somewhat abusive pen. While he was mostly known for his nonfiction writing, he did have five successful novels published. Besides "The Foxglove Saga," he wrote "Path of Dalliance" in 1963, "Who Are The Violets Now?" in 1966, "Consider the Lilies" in 1968, and "A Bed of Flowers" in 1972. He abandoned nonfiction as he felt that he was writing in his father's shadow. His nonfiction works include: "Four Crowded Years: The Diaries of Auberon Waugh 1972–1976;" "Another Voice – An Alternative Anatomy of Britain" and "A Turbulent Decade: The Diaries of Auberon Waugh 1976–1985," both published in 1986; "Will This Do? Fathers and Sons: The Autobiography of a Family" in 1991; "Closing the Circle: the best of The Way of the World," which was published posthumously in 2001; and "Waugh on Wine," published posthumously in 2019. Besides his father Evelyn Waugh being a noted author, his grandfather Arthur Waugh and uncle Alec Waugh were also writers. In 1961 he married Lady Teresa Onslow, daughter of the Earl of Onslow, and the couple had two sons and two daughters. At age 60, he died from heart disease, which may have been a complication of having a lung removed after the machine gun accident in 1958.
