Max Beerbohm “Zuleika Dobson” Vintage Hardcover 1960
$23.00
Zuleika Dobson
Max Beerbohm’s only novel remains a shimmering, satirical masterpiece of Edwardian wit, set against the backdrop of an enchanted and rather doomed Oxford University.
The story follows the mesmerizing Zuleika, whose arrival at Oxford triggers a mass romantic obsession among the undergraduates that descends into absurdity and tragedy.
Readers will be captivated by Beerbohm’s razor-sharp prose, whimsical illustrations, and his unique ability to blend high-concept fantasy with social commentary.
This Heritage Press edition is a delightful artifact for any collector of classic satire and fine printing.
