About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, N.Y., no date but about 1976.,, 1976. Hardcover. Good/Good. Small quarto, hardcover, stamp on inside cover else good in good, lightly faded white pictorial dj. 110 illustrations, 128 pages. First printing. Maugham was extremely reticent about his private life; only since his death has this reticence been pierced. The many facts of his life, professional and personal, are represented here by the novelist and screenwriter Frederic Raphael, whose interest in Maugham was first aroused by a visit he paid to 'the Old Party' in 1954. He not only maps out the events in Maugham's life against the assorted environments in which he worked and lived, but also analyses and assesses most of the important writing, showing where and how Maugham got his ideas and what he made of them
