Edizione: first of the edition with distinctive illustrations throughout by george him. <br> a fantasized distillation of the oxford atmosphere of the 1890s. beerbohm?s writing was characterized by elegance and a light but incisive touch of irony and wit. he was an associate in the 1890s of wilde and beardsley, the rhymers? club, the bodley head publishing circle and the new english art club. george bernard shaw, in his valedictory essay in the saturday review, dubbed him ?the incomparable max? and beerbohm was hired by the saturday review to replace shaw when he retired. this was max beerbohm?s only novel.
