Cuenta la trágica historia de un amigo y colega de nombre Enoch Soames. Soames es un contemporáneo del Beerbohm más joven; un camarada de ingresos seguros pero moderados, que vive de una anualidad heredada, y un desdichado y desconocido aspirante a poeta. A lo largo de la historia, es el autor y editor de una sucesión de libros de poemas sin éxito. Su aspecto se describe como "débil" y no genera gran impresión, a excepción de su hábito persistente de llevar siempre una capa gris impermeable particular y un sombrero negro suave.

A tender and elegiac tale, William and Mary was first published in The Century Magazine in December 1920 (vol. 101).

Described by Virginia Woolf as "a little masterpiece", in Seven Men, Beerbohm tells the stories of six men from the world of the 1890s - Beerbohm himself is the seventh man - with such an air of realism and so much circumstantial detail as to blur the boundary between fact and fiction, so that the listener is lulled almost into acceptance of the fantastic events that he describes.

Siendo todo un dandi, Beerbohm elaboró sofisticados dibujos y parodias que fueron únicas al plasmar con bondad cualquier actitud pedante, artificial o absurda de sus famosos y bien vestidos contemporáneos.

Zuleika Dobson, internationally famous prestidigitator visits her grandfather, the Warden of Judas College, Oxford.

Thus begins a chain of events that culminates in a very watery end to the Eights Week boat races...

The beautiful, flirtatious Zuleika has the dons and undergraduates of Oxford University literally lining up to die for her in this biting tragic-comic satire.
