Description

Max Beerbohm crafts a delightful satire set in the hallowed halls of Oxford. The enchanting yet unremarkable Zuleika Dobson entrances the university's elite, igniting a whirlwind of romantic obsession among the young men, including the Duke of Dorset. As infatuations turn to comically tragic extremes, Beerbohm explores themes of beauty, vanity, and the folly of love in this whimsical tale that deftly skewers Edwardian society.

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.
