W. Somerset Maugham was one of the most prolific and high-profile English writers of the 20th century, who is known to have been a strong influence on George Orwell, Ian Fleming and Anthony Burgess. A doctor, member of the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps (during the First World War) and MI6 operative (in Russia during the revolution), he was the most commercially successful and gifted writers of his time. This bibliography has been cleaned up from the rather messy state it was previously, been brought into line with MOS requirements, and is now fully sourced throughout. – SchroCat (talk) 15:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support – now fully FL compliant. A tricky and complicated topic handled with great skill. (Rather better than the treacherous old ratbag deserves, but when all is said, he was a great story teller, and this does him justice.) Tim riley talk 18:10, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Many thanks - your time and effort going over this are much appreciated! - SchroCat (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support – a very user-friendly, attractively laid-out and informative list. I thought the Lead, too, managed to combine biography and the scope of his writings/of the list very well, only there's just one sentence I was not sure about: "Maugham also acted as editor on a number of works, which often included adding a preface or introductory chapter to the work of other editors." - should this read "the work of other writers"? Altogether, though, an excellent piece of work. Alfietucker (talk) 20:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
