ZULEIKA DOBSON     

       OR AN OXFORD LOVE STORY     

  

       By Max Beerbohm     

   

   

            NOTE to the 1922 edition I was in Italy when this book was first published. A year later (1912) I visited London, and I found that most of my friends and acquaintances spoke to me of Zu-like-a—a name which I hardly recognised and thoroughly disapproved. I had always thought of the lady as Zu-leek-a. Surely it was thus that Joseph thought of his Wife, and Selim of his Bride? And I do hope that it is thus that any reader of these pages will think of Miss Dobson. M.B.                                                 Rapallo, 1922.
