Autor

Sir Henry Maximilian Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 - May 20, 1956) was an English essayist, parodist, and caricaturist known as Max. He rose to prominence in the 1890s as a dandy and comic. He was the Saturday Review's drama critic from 1898 to 1910, when he moved to Rapallo, Italy. In his senior years, he gained popularity for his occasional radio appearances. Zuleika Dobson, his only novel, was released in 1911 and is among his most well-known works. Many public collections feature his caricatures, which are often created in pen or pencil with muted watercolor tinting. Henry Maximilian Beerbohm (1811-1892) was the youngest of nine children born to Julius Ewald Edward Beerbohm, a Lithuanian-born grain dealer, at 57 Palace Gardens Terrace in London, which is now commemorated with a blue plaque. His mother was Eliza Draper Beerbohm, Julius' late first wife's sister. Beerbohm had four half-siblings, one of them, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, was an established theater actor when Max was a toddler. Other elder half-siblings were author and explorer Julius Beerbohm and author Constance Beerbohm.
