Brief introduction of the author who saw me off.

Max beerbohm (1872- 1956), an English essayist, drama critic and cartoonist, has lived in Italy for about 20 years. Max beerbohm's collected works have been handed down from generation to generation. Beerbohm is a real middle class. He is the youngest son and was born in a rich and loving family in London. There is no pressure to force him to do business with his father, and there is no need to gain a foothold in the aristocratic class. In fact, when he writes about high society in his works, he always leaves a trace of ridicule with his favorite antiques. As far as British descent is concerned, beerbohm can't even compare with disraeli, because his father immigrated from the German area near the Baltic Sea in the 1930s. His foreign background undoubtedly has an influence on the formation of his character, but it is nowhere to be found in his literary works. I can feel, and obviously more importantly, another factor: Max was born when his father was sixty-two. His father Julius beerbohm lived in Lebanon in the 1920s and London in the 1930s. His other sons are much older than Max born in 1872, which gives him a sense of closeness that should not belong to his past. He affectionately called this era "the middle generation of the Victorian era." Young beerbohm's playboy does not cling to the class ladder, but moves up and down with social status; He took his time and walked slowly back. There is an oval portrait of his grandfather in his mother's living room, dressed in18th century clothes. This landscape once made Will Rosenstand sigh: "It's rare for grandfathers to get rich so early."

Beerbohm lived a happy childhood in peace. After graduating from Chatterhouse College, he entered Merton College. There, he began to get in touch with a certain kind of people, who he hoped to associate with and integrate into the family cultural atmosphere: the main writers and artists in the 1990 s. Most people he knows are the half brothers of Herbert beerbohm Terry. Terry entered Oxford three years before Max in 1890. As an actor and theater manager, he has become famous and met most people worth knowing. For example, Terry and Wilde have a good relationship, and the latter's A Little Woman was staged in 1893. However, relying on his own ability, beerbohm soon became known for his unique personality. His talent won him the honor of entering the first series of the Yellow Book, when he was only an undergraduate, only 22 years old.

In beerbohm's works in 1990s, the three themes of playboy, regent style and fashion worship are always outstanding. In fact, it was as a prophet and disseminator of these three aspects that he won an early reputation. A visitor is interested in the reappearance of nostalgia, such as Wilde's weak and lasting interest in the style of Regency, beardsley's admiration for the decorative layout of Brighton Castle, G.S. streeter's nostalgic prose about Regency London, Books about the life of early fashion boys (such as Clyde Fitch's "The Last Playboy", in which beerbohm Terry plays DeOrsay), and more and more books in 1980s and 1990s. In the living room of Sir Max's residence in Raparo Harbor, he asked him about1the revival of regency style in the late 9th century. He replied with a polite smile. Regency style generally revived? "I feel that I am the only one." Since Thackeray and beerbohm, no one has been attracted by this little-known literary genre like this budding essayist. For him, it is great luck to discover new themes. Young and experienced Max is handy in dealing with historical materials, which can make people feel refreshed. In an interview with Ada Lefson on 1895, he said: "It is unkind to show your ability by showing history. "But the best historians, from Herodotus to Freud to myself, are not immune."
