And Even Now

"And Even Now" is a collection of essays written by Max Beerbohm, an English writer who had friends in high literary circles, such as Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Beerbohm's writing style is often humorous, with parodies of upper-class life, which he was born into. However, this collection offers a diverse range of pieces, including some that are philosophical and even sad. One essay is a self-critical piece, highlighting Beerbohm's early literary ambition and the pomposity and self-importance that came with it. Overall, this collection offers a glimpse into the wit and wisdom of a notable English writer and his observations on various aspects of life.
