Yale University Press, 1985. Hardback Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Some cock in spine, barely visible stain on lower spine of dust jacket. Very nice copy. 80 illustrations by the author. Introduction by N. John Hall. Illustrated endpapers. Originally published in 1911, this is the only novel written by the talented satirist who was prolific with his caricatures and essays. Zuleika is unlike any other heroine in fiction, and when she goes to Oxford, she manages to get the entire student body of Judas College to fall in love with her and want to kill themselves over her. Named #59 on Modern Library's list of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. (And please don't let the fact that it's utterly silly to try to name 100 best novels of a century dissuade you from checking out this one!). ISBN: 0300033893
