Henry Maximilian Beerbohm (1872-1956) was an English essayist, satirist, caricaturist, and broadcaster, best known today for the novel Zuleika Dobson (1911). The London son of a Lithuanian-born grain merchant, he became a member of the artistic and literary circle that included Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley. He was knighted in 1939.
