Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Spencer Gore, Robert Bevan and John Lavery. Zuleika Dobson comes up to Oxford to visit her grandfather the Warden, and every undergraduate in the university falls in love with her — including the Duke of Dorset, who has never loved anything but himself. Beerbohm, whom Shaw called the incomparable Max, took ten years over his only novel and made it a perfect machine: a comedy in which the joke is carried through to the end without a flinch. Sixty plates by painters from Turner to Spencer Gore trace the river, the boat and the town through a century of Oxford life.
