Seven Men

Seven Men is a collection of seven biographical essays written by Max Beerbohm, a renowned British essayist, caricaturist, and critic. Each essay focuses on a different male figure from various fields such as literature, politics, and art. The book includes essays on William Rothenstein, George Wyndham, Stephen Crane, Saki (H.H. Munro), Max Beerbohm's own brother, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, and two essays on Lord Alfred Douglas. Beerbohm's writing style is characterized by his wit, humor, and satire. He presents each subject with a unique perspective, often highlighting their eccentricities and flaws. The essays are not traditional biographies but rather personal reflections on the author's relationships with the men he writes about. Seven Men is a classic work of English literature, praised for its elegant prose and insightful commentary on the cultural and social milieu of the time. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as seen through the eyes of one of the most talented writers of his generation.`What I had done was not merely base: it was very dangerous.
