In Seven Men the brilliant English caricaturist and critic Max Beerbohm turned his comic searchlight upon the fantastic fin-de-siecle 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 a truly incredible tragedy encompassing the entire Italian Renaissance. One of the masterpieces of modern humorous writing, Seven Men is also a shrewdly perceptive but also heartfelt homage to the wonderfully eccentric character of a bygone age.
