  • "Sparkingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, all-male domain of Judas College, Oxford. A conjurer by profession, Zuleika Dobson can only love a man who is impervious to her considerable charms: a circumstance that proves fatal, as any number of love-smitten suitors are driven to suicide by the damsel's rejection."

  • "One woman's beauty fells the whole of Oxford in this sidesplitting classic campus novel. Nobody could predict the consequences when ravishing Zuleika Dobson arrives at Oxford, to visit her grandfather, the college warden. Formerly a governess, she has landed on the occupation of prestidigitator, and thanks to her overwhelming beauty'and to a lesser extent her professional talents'she takes the town by storm, gaining admittance to her grandfather's college. It is there, at the institution inspired by Beerbohm's own alma mater, that she falls in love the Duke of Dorset, who duly adores her in return. Ever aware of appearances, however, Zuleika breaks the Duke's heart when she decides that she must abandon the match. The epidemic of heartache that proceeds to overcome the academic town makes for some of the best comic writing in the history of English literature."@en
  • "Zuleika Dobson is a 1911 novel by Max Beerbohm, a satire of undergraduate life at Oxford. It was his only novel, but was nonetheless very successful.-- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."@en
  • "The story of the beautiful young granddaughter of the warden of Judas College at Oxford. The entire student body falls in love with her, but she is aloof--she has never loved a man! This hilarious novel mocks sexual mores, British education, and everything along with it using outrageous humor. -Amazon.com."@en
  • "The story cuts from the farcical antics of an incompetent (but gorgeous!) magician named Zuleika Dobson and her thousands of admirers who would do (literally) anything for her and a series of ghosts and spirits that haunt the halls of Oxford and bring a historical perspective of haughtiness to all the then-contemporary goings-ons."@en
  • "Beerbohm's first and only novel, published in 1911, is a wicked satire of undergraduate life at Oxford in which the beautiful heroine, or anti-heroine, Zuleika, leaves a trail of corpses behind as she makes her aloof but devastating way through the all-male bastion of patriarchal privilege."
  • "" ... 'Zuleika Dobson' is a very special sort of book ... for which ... one must cultivate a taste. It is a book which it is utterly impossible to compare with any other book ... In no other book will you find a beautiful young lady who is at the same time a professional magician and the granddaughter of the Warden of Judas College, Oxford; in no other book will you find the entire student body of a great university falling in love with a single [woman] and taking such measures to make its collective passion visible; in no other book will you find an American (he is a Rhodes Scholar) named Abimelech V. Oover ... [and] in no other book will you find the author introducing himself as a name character ...""@en
