"Zuleika Dobson; Or, An Oxford Love Story" by Sir Max Beerbohm is a satirical novel published in 1911. When the irresistibly captivating Zuleika Dobson arrives at Oxford to visit her grandfather, every undergraduate who sees her immediately falls hopelessly in love. Among them is the aloof Duke of Dorset, who proposes marriage—only to be rejected because she cannot love anyone susceptible to her charms. What begins as romantic comedy spirals into darker territory as the Duke makes a fatal pledge, inspiring an unprecedented wave of devotion that threatens to empty Oxford entirely.
