- The Temple at Thatch fue una novela inédita del autor británico Evelyn Waugh, su primer intento adulto de ficción de larga duración. Comenzó a escribirlo en 1924 al final de su último año como estudiante en Hertford College, Oxford, y continuó trabajando en él intermitentemente en los siguientes 12 meses. Después de que su amigo Harold Acton comentó desfavorablemente sobre el borrador en junio de 1925, Waugh quemó el manuscrito. En un ataque de desaliento por esta y otras decepciones personales, comencé un intento de suicidio antes de experimentar lo que denominé "un fuerte retorno al buen sentido".. En ausencia de un manuscrito o texto impreso, la mayoría de la información sobre el tema de la novela proviene de las entradas del diario de Waugh y sus recuerdos posteriores. La historia era evidentemente semi-autobiográfica, basada en las experiencias de Waugh en Oxford. El protagonista era un estudiante de pregrado y los temas principales de la obra eran la locura y la magia negra. Algunas de las ideas de la novela pueden haber sido incorporadas al primer trabajo de ficción publicado comercialmente de Waugh, su cuento de 1925 "The Balance", que incluye varias referencias a una casa de campo llamada "Thatch" y está parcialmente estructurado como un guion cinematográfico, aparentemente fue la novela perdida. "The Balance" contiene personajes, quizás trasladados desde The Temple at Thatch, que aparecen por nombre en la ficción posterior de Waugh. La ficción posterior de Waugh.El juicio severo de Acton no disuadió a Waugh de su intención de ser escritor, pero afectó su creencia de que podría tener éxito como novelista. Durante un tiempo, desvió su atención de la ficción, pero con la recuperación gradual de su confianza en sí mismo, pudo completar su primera novela, Decline and Fall, que se publicó con gran éxito en 1928.

- The Temple at Thatch was an unpublished novel by the British author Evelyn Waugh, his first adult attempt at full-length fiction. He began writing it in 1924 at the end of his final year as an undergraduate at Hertford College, Oxford, and continued to work on it intermittently in the following 12 months. After his friend Harold Acton commented unfavourably on the draft in June 1925, Waugh burned the manuscript. In a fit of despondency from this and other personal disappointments he began a suicide attempt before experiencing what he termed "a sharp return to good sense". In the absence of a manuscript or printed text, most information on the novel's subject comes from Waugh's diary entries and later reminiscences. The story was evidently semi-autobiographical, based on Waugh's Oxford experiences. The protagonist was an undergraduate and the work's main themes were madness and black magic. Some of the novel's ideas may have been incorporated into Waugh's first commercially published work of fiction, his 1925 short story "The Balance", which includes several references to a country house called "Thatch" and is partly structured as a film script, as apparently was the lost novel. "The Balance" contains characters, perhaps carried over from The Temple at Thatch, who appear by name in Waugh's later fiction. Acton's severe judgement did not deter Waugh from his intention to be a writer, but it affected his belief that he could succeed as a novelist. For a time he turned his attention away from fiction, but with the gradual recovery of his self-confidence he was able to complete his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was published with great success in 1928.
