Zuleika Dobson, full title Zuleika Dobson, or, an Oxford love story, is the only novel by Max Beerbohm, a very successful satire of undergraduate life at Oxford published in 1911. It includes the famous line "Death cancels all engagements" and presents a corrosive view of Edwardian Oxford. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Zuleika Dobson 59th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The book largely employs a third-person narrator limited to the character of Zuleika (pronounced "Zu-lee-ka", not "Zu-like-a"), then shifting to that of the Duke, then halfway through the novel suddenly becoming a first-person narrator who claims inspiration from the Greek Muse Clio, with his all-seeing narrative perspective provided by Zeus. This allows the narrator to also see the ghosts of notable historical visitors to Oxford, who are present but otherwise invisible to the human characters at certain times in the novel, adding an element of the supernatural.

A fantasized distillation of the Oxford atmosphere of the 1890s. Beerbohm's writing was characterized by elegance and a light but incisive touch of irony and wit. He was an associate in the 1890s of Wilde and Beardsley, the Rhymers' Club, the Bodley Head Publishing circle and the New English Art Club. George Bernard Shaw, in his valedictory essay in the Saturday Review, dubbed him "the incomparable Max" and Beerbohm was hired by the Saturday Review to replace Shaw when he retired. This was Max Beerbohm's only novel.
