Three Early Novels: Liza of Lambeth, Mrs Craddock, the Magician
W. Somerset Maugham
The three novels in this collection, "Liza of Lambeth" (1897), "Mrs Craddock" (1902), and "The Magician" (1908), had a lasting influence on the literary world. Their settings are various--ranging from the South London slums through the Kentish countryside to the British expatriate community in early twentieth-century Paris--and yet they have common qualities. In each, the protagonist is isolated from a traditional community and unable to create new personal relationships that might enable survival in a changing society. The three novels thus dramatize a dilemma Maugham faced in his own life and one that is the central theme of much modern literature.
