Seven Men [Excerpts] by Sir Max Beerbohm
"Seven Men [Excerpts]" by Sir Max Beerbohm is a collection of short stories published in 1919. Beerbohm crafts persuasive biographies of six fictional characters from the 1890s literary world, positioning himself as the seventh man. Through circumstantial detail and gentle realism, he blurs the lines between fact and fiction, leading readers into accepting fantastic events. The collection includes supernatural comedies, tales of literary rivalry, and character studies that explore gambling, palmistry, and
the consequences of ambition in the fin-de-siècle era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
