A Different Literary History

About This Novel

This is a master's book of gossip and Maugham's insight into human nature. Balzac was a softie; Jane Austen was rustic and didn't know how to match clothes; Emily Bronte had homosexual tendencies. Maugham did this not intentionally to play devil's advocate or to sensationalize, but to remove all pretense, leaving only the real torso. Using his profound insight into human nature and his rich experience as a professional writer, he filtered out the possible kinship between the writer's experience and his works, and showed readers a different literary history that is gossipy and fun!
