Tentang pengarang
Sir Max Beerbohm (1872-1956) was a quintessential figure of the late Victorian and Edwardian literary scene, renowned for his wit, satire, and artistic flair. Born in London, Beerbohm quickly established himself as a polymath, excelling as a caricaturist, essayist, and critic. His sharp, yet humorous critiques of society and culture earned him a place among the literary elite, often compared to Oscar Wilde, whom he admired and befriended.Beerbohm's tenure as the drama critic for the Saturday Review from 1898 to 1910 solidified his reputation as a discerning and influential voice in the arts. His caricatures, published in various periodicals, were celebrated for their incisive and often affectionate lampooning of prominent figures, including politicians, writers, and artists. These works remain valuable historical documents, capturing the essence of an era with unparalleled precision.Controversy occasionally shadowed Beerbohm, particularly his satirical takes on revered figures, which sometimes ruffled feathers in high society. However, his charm and intellect often disarmed critics, allowing him to navigate the literary world with relative ease.Beerbohm's influence extended to contemporary writers such as Virginia Woolf and Evelyn Waugh, who admired his ability to blend humor with profound social commentary. His revolutionary ideas about the role of satire in literature and art challenged conventional norms, paving the way for future generations of writers and artists to explore the boundaries of creative expression.In his later years, Beerbohm retired to Rapallo, Italy, where he continued to write and draw, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and entertain. His life and work offer a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of a rapidly changing world, making him a timeless figure in literary history.
