A Study of the Experimental Women in the Short Fiction of W. Somerset Maugham
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Arts
Abstract
W. Somerset Maugham wrote essays on the different types of narration, not only its stylistic features, but also on the characteristics of the writing of the son. And he described the ambiguity about the role of women in the three new novels that appeared in the second quarter of the last year and in the second Guerre Mondial: "Daisy" (1896), "The Creative Impulse" (1926) and "The Colonel's Lady" (1946), about which he wrote a great deal about the oblique and partial successes and deboirs of these protagonists, these novels satisfactorily surmounted by a difficult situation and a fair entry in the voices of femmes in the cultural sphere here they are so many creations, or about the totality of literature, in which he writes objectively about this article, analyzes the construction of personages and the techniques of narratives, which he writes about mises en voir. The text allowed the a priori Victorian authors to express the "new woman", who subverts the principle of control of the masculine narrative and sensibilizes the lecturers and the emergence of women in the public and political spheres. And W. Somerset Maugham wrote extensively about women.
