Lys van werke deur W. Somerset Maugham

W. Somerset Maugham (1874 – 1965) was 'n Engelse dramaturg, romansier en skrywer van kortverhale. Hy is gebore in die Britse ambassade in Parys waar sy vader werksaam was, en is teen 10-jarige ouderdom wees gelaat. Hy is grootgemaak deur sy oom, wat probeer het om die jongeling te oorreed om 'n rekenmeester of pastoor te word; in pleks hiervan het Maugham opleiding ontvang as geneesheer, alhoewel hy nooit op professionele vlak gepraktiseer het nie aangesien sy eerste roman, Liza of Lambeth, gepubliseer is in dieselfde jaar waarin hy sy kwalifikasies voltooi het.

'n Jaar na die publikasie van sy eerste roman het Maugham bydraes begin lewer aan tydskrifte. Aanvanklik het dié bydraes bestaan uit kortverhale, maar hy het ook rubrieke, nie-fiksie, briewe en outobiografiese stukke geskryf. Baie van sy nie-fiksie stukke is in boekvorm gepubliseer en het 'n wye reeks onderwerpe gedek, soos reisverslae, aktuele sake, outobiografiese stukke en belles lettres (Belles-lettres (Franse uitspraak: [bɛl lɛtʁ]) is 'n soort skryfwerk wat oorspronklik 'mooi' of 'fyn' skryfwerk beteken het. In die moderne, eng sin word die term toegeken aan literêre werke wat nie in die hoofkategorieë soos fiksie, poësie of drama val nie. Die frase word soms pejoratief gebruik vir skryfwerk wat fokus op die estetiese eienskappe van taal, eerder as die praktiese toepassing daarvan. 'n Skrywer of skryfster van belles-lettres staan bekend as 'n belletris). Maugham was ook redakteur van 'n aantal werke, wat dikwels die skryf van 'n voorwoord of inleidende hoofstuk tot die werk van ander skrywers behels het. In 1903 is sy eerste toneelstuk, A Man of Honour, opgevoer by die Imperial Theatre in Londen. Dit was die eerste van vele stukke vir die verhoog, en met die latere ontwikkeling van die bioskoop, is sy romans en verhale ook verwerk vir die silwerdoek.

By sy afsterwe in 1965 was Maugham, volgens sy biograaf Bryan Connon, een van die kommersieel suksesvolste skrywers van die twintigste eeu; Volgens The Times was Maugham "the most assured English writer of his time", en die blad het voorts geskryf dat "no writer of his generation ... graced the world of English letters with more complete or more polished assurance".
