Scott-King's Modern Europe

''Scott-King's Modern Europe'', published in 1947, is a long short story or novella by Evelyn Waugh, sometimes called ''A Sojourn in Neutralia''. It was first published in an abridged form in the ''Cornhill Magazine'' in 1947〔''The Cornhill magazine'', vol. 162 (1947)〕 then by Chapman & Hall, also in 1947. The first American edition, by Little, Brown, appeared in 1949.
==Plot==
Set shortly after the end of the Second World War, the story's central character is Scott-King, a middle-aged schoolmaster who for twenty-one years has taught classical languages at Granchester, an English public school which is his own old school.〔David Wykes, ''Evelyn Waugh: a literary life'', p. 151〕 Cautious and monosyllabic, he is described by Waugh as "a praiser of the past and a lover of exact scholarship" and is characterized as representing the old-fashioned virtues of honesty, decency, sanity, and, ultimately, heroism.〔〔Jonathan Rose, ''The Revised Orwell'' (1992), p. 110〕

During his summer vacation, Scott-King visits Neutralia, a totalitarian republic ruled by a military dictator who was able to keep his country from becoming embroiled in the recent World War. The occasion for Scott-King's visit to Simona, the capital city, is that by publishing an English language translation of a long Latin poem by Bellorius, a minor 17th century Neutralian poet, followed by a monograph on Bellorius himself, he has come to be seen as a leading authority on the work.〔 He has therefore been invited by the government of Neutralia to take part in a scholarly conference marking the poet's tercentenary. Unhappily, Scott-King does not think to inform the British government of his visit.〔(Books: Journey to Neutralia ) dated February 21, 1949, at time.com, accessed 11 June 2011〕〔〔Philip Malcolm Waller Thody, ''The Conservative Imagination'' (1993), p. 146〕
At the same time as the Bellorius Tercentenary, Neutralia is hosting several other events, including a large philatelic conference and an international gathering of women athletes, and in Simona Scott-King meets a variety of remarkable characters. One of these, a scholar from Switzerland, is murdered, and Scott-King is tricked into laying a wreath for a questionable hero and unveiling a statue which is not what it seems, causing him to flee Simona disguised as a nun. On arrival at a Mediterranean seaport, he finds himself surrounded by anarchists, monarchists, Trotskyites, prostitutes, ballet dancers, former Gestapo officers and Vichy collaborators. After a long sea journey, he arrives without his passport at a camp for Jewish illegal immigants in the British Mandate for Palestine, where he is treated with suspicion until he is recognized by an old boy of his school and is thus able to establish his true identity.〔〔
