SUMMARY
InSeven Menthe brilliant English caricaturist and critic Max Beerbohm turns his comic searchlight upon the fantastic fin-de-siècle world of the 1890s--the age of Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, and the young Yeats, as well of Beerbohm's own first success. In a series of luminous sketches, Beerbohm captures the likes of Enoch Soames, only begetter of the neglected poetic masterwork Fungoids; Maltby and Braxton, two fashionable novelists caught in a bitter rivalry; and "Savonarola" Brown, author of a truly incredible tragedy encompassing the entire Italian Renaissance. One of the masterpieces of modern humorous writing,Seven Menis also a shrewdly perceptive, heartfelt homage to the wonderfully eccentric character of a bygone age.Beerbohm, Max is the author of 'Seven Men' with ISBN 9780940322547 and ISBN 0940322544.
