		Zuleika, the dazzling offspring of a curate and a circus-rider (Beerbohm took great trouble to contrive appropriate names for all his characters) is the granddaughter of the Warden of Judas College, Oxford.
		Zuleika, as the student population soon finds, is utterly captivating and her suitor, the Duke of Dorset, has a wonderful pomposity that Beerbohm pricks with witty cleverness.
		Zuleika Dobson is brimming with perfectly balanced emotion, magic and satire.

		Zuleika's pincushion, a-bristle with new pins, lay on the dimity-flounced toilet-table, and round it stood a multitude of multiform glass vessels, domed, all of them, with dull gold, on which Z. D., in zianites and diamonds, was encrusted.
		Zuleika was sitting with her profile turned to him--the profile with the pink pearl--and was gazing full at the young Duke.
		To Zuleika, with all the chords of her soul strung to the utmost tensity, the effect was as if she herself had been shot; and she clutched at the Duke's arm, like a frightened child.

		Different from Zuleika, he cared for his wardrobe and his toilet-table not as a means to making others admire him the more, but merely as a means through which he could intensify, a ritual in which to express and realise, his own idolatry.

		Zuleika distracts the Oxford undergraduates from their purpose at the university and ultimately even from their will to live.
		This begins already on the second page of the novel, when, upon Zuleika’s arrival to Oxford, “a hundred eyes were fixed on her, and half as many hearts lost to her” (Beerbohm 2).
		Moreover, this allows Zuleika to become a more universal symbol of smaller distractions, since the unbelievable overwhelming response of the undergraduates is easier to see as a symbol than as an actual event.

		Zuleika Dobson is just such a rare artistic achievement: a novel that obeys no logic but the ultimate logic of dreams.
		The story revolves around Zuleika, an orphaned girl who rises to the highest social strata not through talent or hard effort but by her ability to command unlimited adoration from all young men she meets.
		When Zuleika comes to Oxford to visit her grandfather, the effect on the student body is even more profound than Zuleika had expected.

		Zuleika is an incredibly beautiful young woman, famous as a conjuror, who visits Oxford as the guest of her grandfather, Warden of Judas College.
		The Duke is a far more sympathetic character than the vain, selfish, shallow and not terribly bright Zuleika, and it is a task which has taken much skill from Beerbohm to balance the reader's sorrow over his fate with the humour of the novel.
		One question which I cannot answer is whether Zuleika Dobson has any meaning beyond what it appears to have on the surface.

		For any one unfamiliar with the novel, the plot goes thus: Zuleika, a young woman so beautiful that any man who sees her falls helplessly in love with her, goes to Oxford to spend a few days with her grandfather, the warden of Judas College.
		Led on by the lovesick Duke of Dorset, the undergraduates all vow to die for Zuleika as proof of their devotion, and at the appointed hour, duly hurl themselves into the river and drown.
		Zuleika's parting gift to the students on the eve of their mass suicide is a display of her conjuring tricks, one of which is to produce a barber's pole from her mouth.

	The New York Times: Book Review Search Article
		A satire on university life, aristocratic manners and the literature of Tragedy and Romantic Love, ''Zuleika Dobson'' recounts the whimsical and quite thoroughly preposterous tale of a beautiful showgirl - ''the toast of two hemispheres'' and ''a nymph to whom men's admiration was the greater part of life'' -who takes Oxford by storm.
		In the Oxford of ''Zuleika Dobson,'' students spend a lot of time worrying about love and their social standing, and they hold plenty of earnest discussions about the virtues of Beauty and Truth.
		Introduced with a succinct, informative essay by N. John Hall, this Yale edition of ''Zuleika Dobson'' is a delicately produced volume, attentive to both textual and visual detail.

	Zuleika Dobson (Modern Library Paperbacks): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Laced with memorable one-liners (""Death cancels all engagements,"" utters the first casualty) and inspired throughout by Beerbohm's rococo imagination, this lyrical evocation of Edwardian undergraduate life at Oxford has, according to Forster, ""a beauty unattainable by serious literature.""" --This text refers to the Digital edition.
		Beerbohm was a great caricaturist, both in words and illustration, but Zuleika was, sadly, his only novel.
		In ways the novel is more about an elitist-ly promising young Duke and his inner turmoil, turmoil caused by Zuleika's love and not-love and by being the one who inspires the undergrads to make their vow.

		A charming, witty, and elegant man often called the incomparable Max, Beerbohm was a brilliant parodist and the master of a polished prose style.
		Zuleika Dobson is many sorts of a novel, but first and foremost it is the emanation of a most subtle and deadly caricaturist, a shrewd and knavish sprite amongst mortal men.
		Beerbohm's sparklingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, all-male domain of Judas College, Oxford.

		A few years back, Zuleika Dobson, originally published in 1911, made it (in 59th place) onto the Random House list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.
		The novel elaborately details the disruption of the cloistered calm of a then all-male Oxford by a flirtatious and attractive young woman when she visits her grandfather, who is the warden of Judas College.
		Dobson mostly wants the young gallants of Oxford to show how far they will go in admiration for her.
