Abstract

General literature may be considered by some to be an unusual source of accounting history. Although it may provide little on the technical development of the subject, it may permit some insight into the social evolution of accountancy as a profession and the changing image of accountants and their work. This article concentrates on the work of Somerset Maugham, who published a number of plays, novels, travelogues, essays and short stories, together with several reminiscences. Many of Maugham's novels and short stories were drawn, with some literary license, from his own experience.
