Originally published in 1911, Max Beerbohms sparklingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, allmale domain of Judas College, Oxford. A conjurer by profession, Zuleika Dobson can only love a man who is impervious to her considerable charms a circumstance that proves fatal, as any number of lovesmitten suitors are driven to suicide by the damsels rejection. Laced with memorable oneliners ("Death cancels all engagements", utters the first casualty) and inspired throughout by Beerbohms rococo imagination, this lyrical evocation of Edwardian undergraduate life at Oxford has, according to Forster, "a beauty unattainable by serious literature".
