Why Read And Even Now?
And Even Now is worth reading because it shows Beerbohm's mature prose voice continuing to work through memory, social observation and cultivated irony. The title has a graceful air of continuation, as if the writer knows both that time has moved on and that the old pleasures of style, wit and literary personality remain available. The pieces belong to Beerbohm's world of essays, sketches and reflective fiction, where tone is often as important as event.
Readers who enjoy elegant general fiction and prose sketches will find the collection appealing. Beerbohm's method is light but not careless. He notices manners, reputations, self-deceptions and the theatrical quality of public life. His comedy is often quiet, depending on an exact phrase or a change in social temperature rather than on loud incident. That refinement gives the writing a distinctive flavour, especially for readers who appreciate Edwardian and early modern prose.
The book is also useful as a companion to Yet Again and A Christmas Garland. It helps show the range of Beerbohm's short-form writing beyond his famous novel and best-known literary parodies. Modern readers may find some allusions period-specific, but the personality of the prose remains attractive. For EBTA readers, And Even Now offers a graceful route into Beerbohm's later manner: amused, precise, slightly melancholy and always attentive to the comedy of self-presentation.
