Satire

Zuleika Dobson

by Max Beerbohm

A conjuror’s assistant of fatal beauty comes to stay with her grandfather, the Warden of Judas College, and every undergraduate in Oxford falls in love with her. Max Beerbohm’s only novel, of 1911, follows the consequences with a perfectly straight face. Even the stone emperors’ heads outside the Sheldonian break into a sweat.
