Enoch Soames - A Memory of the Eighteen-Nineties

by Sir Max Beerbohm


Enoch Soames: A Memory of the Eighteen-Nineties is a short story written by Sir Henry Maximilian "Max" Beerbohm was an English essayist, parodist, and caricaturist under the signature Max.

Excerpts:

When a book about the literature of the eighteen-nineties was given by Mr. Holbrook Jackson to the world, I looked eagerly in the index for Soames, Enoch. It was as I feared: he was not there. But everybody else was. Many writers whom I had quite forgotten, or remembered but faintly, lived again for me, they and their work, in Mr. Holbrook Jackson's pages. The book was as thorough as it was brilliantly written. And thus the omission found by me was an all the deadlier record of poor Soames's failure to impress himself on his decade.
