The Inventory of the Rothschild-Maugham Collection #1619 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS Biographical Sketch 111. Scope and Content Note V. Series Organization Vll. Series Outline IX. Box List 1 111 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 at the British Embassy in Paris, France to Robert Ormond and Edith Mary Maugham, who had both spent most of their adult lives living in France. Maugham's hardships began early on as he was born with frail health and an understated stature, and without the good looks of his mother. fu January of 1882, Edith Maugham died of Tuberculosis, and from this trauma, Maugham was never to fully recover. Two years later, Maugham's father died of stomach cancer and subsequently, he was sent to the rather alien country of his ancestors to live with his father's clergyman brother, Henry MacDonald Maugham, at the vicarage in Whitstable. A stammer in Maugham's speech soon developed; likely as the result of being forced to speak English rather than the French that he preferred. Life with his uncle and aunt was stable, but lonely, and it was at this age that Maugham's love of reading began to bloom. From May of 1885 to July of 1889, Maugham attended King's School in Canterbury, which was a nightmare he would never quite forget. Deciding to forgo a future with the Church, Maugham escaped to the University of Heidelberg from 1891-92, where he was to discover and embrace Schopenhauer, Ibsen, and his own homosexuality. After a brief stint studying accounting in Kent, Maugham decided to pursue a medical degree at St.

W. Somerset Maugham / С. Моэм Up at the Villa / На вилле Pre-intermediate level Пособие для чтения William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) W.S. Maugham was born in Paris in the family of a solicitor of the British Embassy and lived there until he was ten. His parents died when he was still a child, and he was brought up by his uncle, vicar of Whitstable in Kent. Maugham was educated at King's School, Canterbury and at Heidelberg University, Germany. He afterwards walked the wards of St. Thomas's Hospital with a view to practise in medicine, but the success of his first novel "Oza of Lambeth" (1897) won him over to letters. With the "Moon and the Sixpence" (1919) his reputation as a novelist was assured. Maugham's favourite among his novels is "Cakes and Ale" (1930) depicting the backstage of the world of letters. His other popular novels include "The Painted Veil", (1925), "The Narrow Corner" (1932), "Theatre" (1937), "The Razor's Edge" (1944), "Up at the Villa" (1953). Maugham also got an established reputation as a dramatist and a shortstory writer. In his lifetime he published more than ten collections of stories. All of them demonstrate his realistic manner, democratic tendencies and brilliant mastery of form. Maugham is also a prolific author of travel books, essays and literary criticism. Maugham's fiction has little romance or idealism, for he takes a sceptical view of human nature. However, his readers are confronted with the problems of good and evil, reward and punishment, justice and injustice, offering no easy solutions.

William Somerset Maugham and the Nobel Prize
William Somerset Maugham and the Nobel Prize Paulus Tiozzo, University of Gothenburg Abstract This article provides an analysis of the Swedish reception and Nobel Prize nominations of William Somerset Maugham. Its purpose is firstly to present a largely unknown aspect of the reception of his work through an assessment of reviews published in Swedish newspapers from 1908 to 1965. These years cover Maugham’s first mention in a Swedish context until the year of his death. Secondly, it will offer an explanation as to why he ultimately did not receive the Nobel Prize, although he was held in high esteem by members of the Swedish Academy, who wrote several reviews of his work. It is probable that this was because of his fame and success rather than for any aesthetic, moral or even political reasons. All these conclusions are derived from an analysis of original documents, including letters and protocols from the archives of the Swedish Academy. The article begins with a brief description of the criteria for the Nobel Prize in Literature and how they were applied at the time of Maugham’s nominations, followed by a discussion of his reception by Swedish critics; the final section concerns the Nobel Prize nominations themselves. Keywords: Swedish Academy; Nobel Prize in literature; W. Somerset Maugham; Sweden; reception studies; Anders Österling; Gustaf Hellström; Georg Svensson Introduction In 1959, William Somerset Maugham received a visit from a Swedish reporter at his home, the Villa La Mauresque in Cap Ferrat, France. The reporter, Manne Berggren, interviewed Maugham for Sveriges Radio, the Swedish national radio broadcaster.
