I loved these stories and will get more later. Max Beerbohm was a well known English essayist in the early 20th century, and he is best known today for the 1911 novel Zuleika Dobson. From the Back CoverFew writers have possessed Max Beerbohm's talent for parody, and 'A Christmas Garland' is perhaps the best collection of parodies ever written in English. Here are glorious, often loving spoofs of Beerbohm's well-known contemporaries - Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Well, George Meredith, John Galsworthy, and others - woven together by a Christmas theme and by the inventiveness of Beerbohm's comic art.About the AuthorSir Henry Maximilian "Max" Beerbohm was an English essayist, parodist, and caricaturist. He first became known in the 1890s as a dandy and a humorist.

MAX BEERBOHM AS a LITERARY CRITIC by BEVERLY JOAN
MAX BEERBOHM AS A LITERARY CRITIC by BEVERLY JOAN NORBY B.A., University of British Columbia, 1949 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 1967 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h.i>s representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of ENGLISH The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date October, 1967 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis has been to define Max Beerbohm's critical literary principles, to evaluate his con• tribution to aesthetic criticism and thereby to determine his place in the critical tradition. The methods of investi• gation have been: to study the formative influences on the development of his critical principles and to evaluate the results of their application in Max's essays and dramatic criticisms. From this study it is evident that as a man and as an artist Max was "formed" during the Eighteen-nineties. By nature he was an intellectual dandy who always preferred strong, narrow creative personalities like himself. He was detached, fastidious, witty, and humane, and he was noted for his wisdom and sound common sense, even as a very young man.

While acknowledging that specific reading practices are not exclusive to particular groups or individuals, it is proposed, broadly, that readers fall into two categories: those who tend to be distanced from the text and approach it analytically; those who tend to embrace the text and immerse themselves in its narrative.

Introduction the Fighting Nineties: the Age of the Critical Function
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10974-2 - Literature and the Politics of Post-Victorian Decadence Kristin Mahoney Excerpt More information Introduction The Fighting Nineties: The Age of the Critical Function In December 1928, the Leicester Galleries hosted an exhibition of the works of Max Beerbohm titled “Ghosts.” The exhibition included caricatures of Oscar Wilde, Lord Queensberry, John Lane, Walter Pater, Henry Harland, and Aubrey Beardsley. In the exhibition catalog, Beerbohm characteristi- cally apologizes for his own anachronism, feigning embarrassment at the irrelevance of his work to the modern moment. He lives in Italy now, he notes, and it’s very hard to keep up: “So very many people with faces and figures unknown to me have meanwhile become famous that I have abandoned all hope of being ‘topical.’”1 Nevertheless, he suggests that per- haps the visitors to the gallery won’t mind “looking at some people who flourished in past days.”2 He first addresses his fellow specters from the Victorian era: “Those of you who are as old as – or almost (and even that is saying much) as old as I – will perhaps like to have the chords of memory struck by the drawings on these walls.”3 But he continues to suggest that “eventheyoung...mayconceivablyfeelaslightthrill”whilecontemplat- ing the “ghosts” in the gallery.4 “I have noticed,” he writes, “that the young in this era have what those in my own era hadn’t: a not unfriendly interest in the more or less immediate past.”5 This “not unfriendly interest” in the late-Victorian period had been on the rise since the publication of Holbrook Jackson’s well-received The Eighteen-Nineties in 1913.

He was educated at Charterhouse and Merton College, Oxford. He was a critic, essayist and caricaturist. He contributed to the famous Yellow Book while still an undergraduate at Oxford. As a half brother of the actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Max was a brilliant dramatic critic of the Saturday Review from 1898 to 1910, succeeding George Bernard Shaw. In 1910 he married an American actress, Florence Kahn and went to live in Rapallo, Italy (except for the duration of the two World Wars). A charming, witty, and elegant man, Beerbohm was a brilliant parodist and the master of a polished prose style. His works include A Christmas Garland (1912), a collection of parodies on such authors as Joseph Conrad and Thomas Hardy; Zuleika Dobson (1911), an amusing satire on Oxford; Seven Men (1919), stories; and And Even Now (1920) and Mainly on the Air (1947), essays. Beerbohm was accomplished at drawing, and he published several volumes of excellent caricatures, including The Poet’s Corner (1904) and Rossetti and His Circle (1922). He was knighted in 1939 on his return from Italy, where he had lived from 1910.

Ye Olde English Humourists
TIF - Ye Olde English Humourists S. UNIAN SAMBAR August 2, 2019 A few of the British humorists (from left to right): Wyndham Lewis, A A Milne, Max Beerbohm | Howard Coster, CC BY-NC-ND 3.0, Wikipedia An affectionate tribute to the low-brow humorists of the British Empire who wrote in the early-mid 20th century. Or is this a symptom of "a post-colonial condition brought on by the native collaborator’s false nostalgia for colonial master narratives"? Is there any good reason for reading dreadfully anachronistic low-brow stuff from the days of the Empire, still less for enjoying it, and least of all for writing about it? Of course not, but there could be some lame excuses. Being a superannuated scholar in the humourless—indeed outrightly dismal—discipline of Economics which obliges one to relate human beings to such things as closed, compact, convex subsets of n-dimensional Euclidean space could be a major excuse for reading this species of literature. Also for taking pleasure in it, simply as an act of revenge for all those grim-death axioms and theorems which are inflicted on the economist by the compulsions of a life-time of wage-slavery and survival through scholarly publishing. And an excuse for writing about it is the canny suspicion that the author is not alone in his sneaking, shameful, guilty appreciation of the chuckle-headed and politically incorrect scribblings of a lost generation of English humourists, and that there are other closet aficionados of this brand of mentally arrested wit who might actually have some interest in (covertly) reading articles of the present type.

New Impressions, October, 1912; December, 1912; December, 1912; July, 1918; September, 1918; March, 1931. Copyright, 1912. BY THE SAME AUTHOR THE WORKS OF MAX BEERBOHM MORE YET AGAIN A CHRISTMAS GARLAND THE HAPPY HYPOCRITE ZULIEKA DOBSON SEVEN MEN AND EVEN NOW CARICATURES OF TWENTY-FIVE GENTLEMEN THE POETS' CORNER THE SECOND CHILDHOOD OF JOHN BULL A BOOK OF CARICATURES FIFTY CARICATURES NOTE Stevenson, in one of his essays, tells us how he "played the sedulous ape" to Hazlitt, Sir Thomas Browne, Montaigne, and other writers of the past. And the compositors of all our higher-toned newspapers keep the foregoing sentence set up in type always, so constantly does it come tripping off the pens of all higher-toned reviewers. Nor ever do I read it without a fresh thrill of respect for the young Stevenson. I, in my own very inferior boyhood, found it hard to revel in so much as a single page of any writer earlier than Thackeray. This disability I did not shake off, alas, after I left school. There seemed to be so many live authors worth reading. I gave precedence to them, and, not being much of a reader, never had time to grapple with the old masters. Meanwhile, I was already writing a little on my own account. I had had some sort of aptitude for Latin prose and Latin verse. I wondered often whether those two things, essential though they were (and are) to the making of a decent style in English prose, sufficed for the making of a style more than decent.
