Abstract

This dissertation is an annotated, descriptive bibliography of the 947 items in the Herbert J. Frost/W. Somerset Maugham Collection housed in Sterling C. Evans Library at Texas A&M University. Of these, the 464 primary works are separated into five categories: manuscripts, published materials, correspondence, edited materials, and introductory materials. Items are arranged alphabetically by title. The 483 secondary materials are likewise separated into five categories: books and entire periodicals, clippings, adaptations, photographs, and programs. These items are arranged alphabetically by author or title. Notes regarding inscriptions, bibliographic rarities, content, or other information are provided as needed. Entries include references to the definitive bibliography of the primary works, Raymond Toole Stott's A Bibliography of the Works of W. Somerset Maugham and/or of the secondary, Charles Sanders' W. Somerset Maugham: An Annotated Bibliography of Writings About Him. Every effort has been made to provide clear, concise information suitable to the peculiarities of the items and the needs of researchers.
