Zuleika Dobson, or an Oxford love story, is the only novel by English essayist Max Beerbohm, a satire of undergraduate life at Oxford published in 1911. The book largely employs a third-person narrator limited to the character of Zuleika then shifting to that of the Duke, then halfway through the novel suddenly becoming a first-person narrator who claims inspiration from the Greek Muse Clio, with her all-seeing narrative perspective provided by Zeus. This allows the narrator to also see the ghosts of notable historical visitors to Oxford, who are present but otherwise invisible to the human characters at certain times in the novel, adding an element of the supernatural. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Zuleika Dobson 59th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Robert Mighall in his Afterword to the New Centenary Edition of Zuleika (published by Collector's Library, in 2011), writes: "Zuleika is of the future that Beerbohm anticipates an all-too-familiar feature of the contemporary scene: the D-list talent afforded A-list media attention."With us today is Dr. Margaret Stetz, the Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women's Studies and Professor of Humanities at the University of Delaware.

And Even Now by Max Beerbohm audiobook. This is a diverse collection of essays by English writer Max Beerbohm, whose circle included such notables as Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Ezra Pound, and Somerset Maugham. Much of Beerbohm's work was humorous, including parodies of various aspects of the upper class life into which he was born. Some of these pieces are humorous, some philosophical, and some even sad. They include, for instance: a frankly self-critical piece on the pomposity and self-importance of his early literary ambitions; a half-eager, half-repining essay on a missing and uncompleted portrait of the great German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; and a funny, but politically critical essay on 'the servant question.'

Joseph Lacey is Associate Professor of Political Theory at University College Dublin. He is about to embark on a five-year project looking at the moral agency of participants in elections. That's politicians, special advisers, journalists and so on. But it's also you and me: people who engage with political messaging, perhaps take some interest in what's going on behind the scenes and, ultimately, vote in elections. In this episode Joseph talks about the questions he's interested in, his plans for the research, what's distinctive about the method he's going to use, and what he hopes to get out of it. Here are some readings suggested by Joseph as good and relevant to the topic:Beckman, Arthur. 2018. ‘Political Marketing and Intellectual Autonomy: Political Marketing & Intellectual Autonomy'.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/z6z 3 by Beerbohm Three Novels by Max Beerbohm Narrated by Graham Scott Max Beerbohm (1872 – 1956) was an English essayist, satisist, artist and broadcaster, who was active in an extensive literary circle which included such luminaries as Somerset Maugham, Truman Capote, Evelyn Waugh, Ezra Pound and Edmund Wilson. For fity years he lived in Rapallo in Italy, but never learned to speak Italian. This collection contains three of his best-known works of fiction. In 'The Happy Hypocrite', mischievous Cupid compels disreputable Lord George Hell to win the love of sweet young Jenny Mere by assuming a saintly mask of true love to disguise his own wicked features. 'Zuleika Dobson', acclaimed as one of the finest satirical novels in the English language, tells the story of the effect of the devastatingly attractive Miss Dobson on the all-male undergraduate body of Oxford, culminating in a watery end to the Eights Week boat races. And in 'Seven Men' - described by Virginia Woolf as "a little masterpiece" - Beerbohm blurs the boundary between fact and fiction to tell the incredible stories of six men (Beerbohm himself is the seventh) from the world of the 1890s.
