Overview

The purpose of this comprehensive study is to subject W. Somerset Maugham's total output to a closer scrutiny than has been attempted before. From John Whitehead's survey it emerges that certain assumptions that have arisen concerning Maugham's talent, and certain judgements which have been pronounced on individual books and plays, are in need of modification. Available for the first time in the U.S.
