About the book

Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson is a brilliant comic fantasy and satire set in the privileged world of Edwardian Oxford. The beautiful and extraordinarily self-assured Zuleika Dobson arrives at the university and immediately becomes the object of fascination for virtually every undergraduate she encounters. Among her admirers is the proud Duke of Dorset, whose feelings for Zuleika lead to increasingly absurd and ultimately extravagant consequences. Beerbohm uses the story to parody romantic obsession, vanity, aristocratic manners and the traditions of Oxford life. Elegant, witty and deliberately outrageous, the novel is one of the great comic works of the early twentieth century.
