“Zuleika Dobson; Or, An Oxford Love Story” by Sir Max Beerbohm is a satirical novel written during the early 20th century, precisely in the Edwardian era. The story unfolds in the backdrop of Oxford University, centering on a captivating and enchanting character named Zuleika Dobson, who quickly becomes the object of infatuation for many of the young men in Oxford with her charm and allure. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Zuleika's arrival at the Oxford station, where she immediately captivates the attention of the undergraduates present, signaling her magnetic presence. Her relationship with the Warden of Judas, who is her grandfather, is highlighted as they arrive at his college; this setting establishes the traditional and elite confines of Oxford. Additionally, the reactions of the male students, who follow Zuleika like moths drawn to a flame, suggest that her arrival will disrupt the typical order of the university. We see her oscillating between indifference and a slight need for admiration, hinting at a deeper character complexity that will be explored throughout the novel. As the narrative progresses, the dynamics between Zuleika and the various characters, particularly the Duke of Dorset, promise to create an intricate exploration of love, vanity, and societal expectations.
