  glbtq >> literature >> Maugham, Robin
Maugham recognized that he was a homosexual at an early age, and much of his fiction candidly and often erotically represents homosexual relationships.
Maugham could be a stylistically uneven and repetitive writer, and he provokes some politically correct qualms, but his compulsively readable novels vividly and candidly capture the ambivalence surrounding homosexuality for a gay Englishman of his class and generation.
Maugham was an alcoholic and a manic depressive, and it is probable that some of his later work was collaboratively written with or even ghost-written by his young lover Peter Burton, though Burton's highly self-serving account of their relationship in Parallel Lives (1985) should be treated with caution.

  Frederic Maugham, 1st Viscount Maugham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederic Herbert Maugham, 1st Viscount Maugham [1] [2] (1866-March 23, 1958) was a British lawyer and judge who served as Lord Chancellor from 1938 until 1939 despite having virtually no political career at all.
Maugham was born in 1866 and educated at Dover College and the University of Cambridge where he became President of the Cambridge Union Society in Lent Term 1889.
As Maugham was already 71 years old it was widely expected that he would prove to be a mere stop-gap appointment, to be succeeded by Inskip as soon as it was possible for the latter to leave Defence.
