About this book
Creators: Sir Max Beerbohm (1872-1956) and John Lane (1854-1925) [Contributor] "The Works of Max Beerbohm" by Sir Max Beerbohm is a collection of essays published in 1896. Written while Beerbohm was still a student at Oxford, these pieces originally appeared in notable 1890s periodicals like The Yellow Book and The Savoy. The collection showcases his satirical style through essays on dandies, royalty, and cosmetics, all designed to deflate pretentiousness with mock-scholarly wit. The 24-year-old author cheekily announced his retirement from writing upon publication—a promise he notably did not keep. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
