Very Good in Wrappers. 0451503384. Afterword By F.W. Dupee. 256 pages. paperback. CT338. keywords: Signet Classic Europe England Literature. DESCRIPTION - The most consistent achievement of fantasy in our time' was E. M. Forster's assessment of Zuleika Dobson in 1927, sixteen years after its initial appearance. Since then, time has only increased the stature of this rare literary delight. Its setting is Oxford University; its heroine a dazzling enchantress in search of a man she cannot captivate; its artistry the product of one of the most elegant talents in the English language. As Zuleika Dobson decimates the undergraduate population, and destroys the proud young Duke of Dorset, 'the incomparable Max' fashions his tale with the blend of elfin charm and mordant human wit that was his alone. As the distinguished critic F. W. Dupee writes: 'All known devices of rhetoric and syntax are set to performing with unobtrusive gaiety. For [Max Beerbohm,] loving and dying were mysteries too inscrutable to be accounted for by the word 'tragedy.' Assuagement lay in laughter and the craftsmanship required to provoke it, to the right degree and in the right kind.' inventory #28917.…

Although most of Beerbohm's caricatures were of his contemporaries, some of his best work relates to the years just before his own. For him the shining light of the period was the painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and he delighted in drawing Rossetti together with the other PreRaphaelites and the eccentric artists, writers, models, and mistresses that surrounded him: Holman Hunt, J. E. Millais, Ford Madox Brown, Ruskin, William Morris, Burne~Jones, Swinburne, Meredith, Tennyson, Browning, Whistler, Carlyle, Elizabeth Siddal, Fanny Cornforth, and others. Max's twenty~three watercolor drawings on these subjects, published in 1922, remain his most famous caricatures. When the book first appeared, The Times commented: "Each drawing is worth a whole volume of sermons on ideals in art and life,"and the New York Times announced, "Here is the final criticism of the Pre~Raphaelite Brotherhood." According to one of Rossetti's nieces, "No living person within the PreRaphaelite circle has given so accurate a picture of its physical and spiritual composition." In this new edition of Rossetti and His Circle, John Hall provides an urbane and witty introduction, supplying quotations from the early PreRaphaelite literature, anecdotes, and biographical material to help explain the genesis of the book. The drawings themselves, newly reproduced from the originals, are further supplemented with additional caricatures of related subjects, old photographs from which Beerbohm worked, and related short prose pieces by Beerbohm, some from his unfinished and unpublished novel about the Pre~Raphaelites. The book presents Max's Rossetti drawings more vividly than they have ever been seen before, not only preserving but enhancing Beerbohm's masterpiece of comic art.…
