Description
Zuleika Dobson, or an Oxford love story, is a satirical novel that explores the complexities of undergraduate life at Oxford University. Written by Max Beerbohm in 1911, it features a memorable line and offers a scathing critique of Edwardian society. The novel centres around Zuleika Dobson, a captivating young woman who uses her charm to manipulate those around her. She gains entry to Oxford University through her grandfather's connection as the Warden of Judas College, where she becomes embroiled in a series of romantic entanglements with two students: one who is smitten by her beauty and another who claims to have fallen in love with her without ever meeting her. As Zuleika navigates these relationships, she rejects all suitors, including the Duke of Dorset, who ultimately decides to commit suicide as a symbol of his passion for her. This poignant tale presents a corrosive view of the privileged world of Oxford University during the Edwardian era.
