Sobre este artículo
London: William Heinemann,, 1911. First edition, first impression, of Beerbohm's classic, a romantic satire which sees the entire undergraduate body of Oxford University quite literally die for love of the novel's protagonist. Zuleika was "extolled as 'the perfect Oxford novel'" and described by E. M. Forster as "the most consistent achievement of fantasy in our time" (Hall, p. 135). Beerbohm studied at Merton from 1890, where he was Secretary of the Myrmidon Club. While at Oxford Beerbohm became acquainted with Oscar Wilde and other members of the literary and artistic circle connected with The Bodley Head. The book was issued simultaneously in the present smooth cloth, and in rough cloth for circulating libraries. Octavo. Original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, publisher's device in blind to rear cover. Half-title and title page printed in brown. Slight nicking at spine extremities, rear hinge split but holding, slight foxing, light fraying around front free endpaper; a good copy. Gallatin & Oliver, 8. Hall, N. John, Max Beerbohm: A Kind of a Life, Yale University Press (2002).
