Zuleika Dobson

Zuleika Dobson is a satire of undergraduate life at Oxford. It was Beerbohm's only novel, but was nonetheless very successful. This satire includes the famous line 'Death cancels all engagements' and presents a corrosive view of Edwardian Oxford. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Zuleika Dobson 59th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century!
