Description

Beerbohm dates each piece and talks as if the decade were still in the room: A Relic, Hosts and Guests, The Pines, Going Out for a Walk, On Speaking French, Laughter. Small social laws, Swinburne’s house remembered, a walk he hates, and wit that prefers exact occasions to murals of an age. Usable listening essay humour: the dandy’s pause, kept topical on purpose.

Author

Sir Henry Maximilian Beerbohm was an English essayist, parodist, and caricaturist under the signature Max. He first became known in the 1890s as a dandy and a humorist. He was the drama critic for the Saturday Review from 1898 until 1910, when he relocated to Rapallo, Italy. In his later years he was popular for his occasional radio broadcasts. Among his best-known works is his only novel, Zuleika Dobson, published in 1911.
