5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant & illuminating study, February 2, 2006
By 
Wilhelm Snyman "Wilhelm Snyman" (Cape Town, W Cape South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orienting Masculinity, Orienting Nation: W. Somerset Maugham's Exotic Fiction (Contributions to the Study of World Literature) (Hardcover)
Philip Holden's study of Maugham's exotic fiction is masterful, a brilliant analysis of the underlying complexities in terms of gender and imperialism that inform Maugham's texts. This book surpasses many other critical studies which all to often dwell on the obvious and the commonplace. Can't recommend this study more highly. Superb.
