William Somerset Maugham 1874-1965 was an English playwright, novelist, and short story writer. He was one of the most popular authors of his era, and reputedly the highest paid of his profession during the 1930s. By 1914 he was famous, with 10 plays produced and 10 published novels. His masterpiece is generally agreed to be Of Human Bondage 1915 , a semi-autobiographical novel that deals with the life of the main character Philip Carey, who like Maugham, was orphaned, and brought up by his pious uncle. His last major novel, The Razors Edge, published in 1944, was a departure for him in many ways. While much of the novel takes place in Europe, its main characters are American, not British. His other works include: Liza of Lambeth 1897 , Mrs Craddock 1902 , A Man of Honour 1903 , The Land of the Blessed Virgin 1905 , The Bishops Apron 1906 , Lady Frederick 1907 , The Magician 1908 , Home and Beauty 1909 , The Moon and Sixpence 1919 , The Circle 1921 , The Trembling of a Leaf 1921 , and On a Chinese Screen 1922 .
