A Christmas Garland by Sir Max Beerbohm
"A Christmas Garland" by Sir Max Beerbohm is a collection of seventeen parodies published in 1912. Beerbohm masterfully mimics the distinctive styles of popular Edwardian writers, including Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, and Joseph Conrad, weaving their voices together with a Christmas theme. His parodies go beyond surface imitation, capturing the complete personality and inner workings of each author. Henry James himself praised the book with "wonder and delight," calling
it "the most intelligent" produced in England in years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
