Robin Maugham, 2nd Viscount Maugham
Robert Cecil Romer Maugham, 2nd Viscount Maugham (17 May 1916 – 13 March 1981), known as Robin Maugham, was a British author, and nephew of William Somerset Maugham.
Trained as a barrister, he served with distinction in World War II, and wrote a successful novella ''The Servant'', later filmed with Dirk Bogarde and James Fox. This was followed by over thirty books including novels, travelogues, plays and biographical works. In the House of Lords, he drew attention to human trafficking as the new slavery.
==Family background==
Robin Maugham was the son of Frederic Maugham, 1st Viscount Maugham, and Helen Romer. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, he was expected to follow his father and grandfather into the law. But although he qualified as a barrister, he realised that his real calling was to follow his uncle William Somerset Maugham as a writer. He also responded against his elite background, turning socialist as a reaction to the spread of fascism in 1930’s Europe.
