Max Beerbohm presents in More a collection of twenty brilliantly amusing essays. In a wideranging tour through both the inspiring and the ridiculous in English fin de siecle society, Beerbohm casts a veiled critical drubbing here, and a wistful though sprightly appreciation there, thoroughly entertaining us and accurately spearing his victims. Some of his most noted work appeared in this second little volume when it was first published in 1899. In "Punch" he asks us if the magazines terrible dullness is not our own fault in An Infamous Brigade the question is revolved as to whether the fire engine is not an infernal machine designed to dampen our pleasure in The Blight on the Music Halls we must critically consider the relative merits of vulgarity and refinement in Ouida the famed enthusiastic authors wild colour and occasional infelicities are justly celebrated in Arise, Sir ! the decorations offered to literary timeservers are the saucy target in A Cloud of Pinafores the cult of childlike simplicity tempts the authors tongue, and sharpens its point... With razoredged wit and a perfect ear for irony, Max Beerbohm delivers us in More twenty further reasons to call him the finest, and funniest, essayist of his era.
