Special Collections acquires coveted Rothschild-Maugham Collection: Loren Rothschild, founder and president of a private investment firm in Los Angeles, began his collection of W. Somerset Maugham material with his wife, Frances, 25 years ago after reading Of Human Bondage. In the past, he says, he has gone "head-to-head" with BU for Maugham material, but has come to believe that the University is the right place for the collection. Among its items are original manuscripts, more than 200 periodicals containing the first publication of many of Maugham's works, personal documents and ephemera, audiovisual material, photographs, letters, first editions of the author's novels, and works of art, including this bronze bust of Maugham by Sir Jacob Epstein (1951).
