Escape from the Shadows is the 1972 autobiography of British author Robin Maugham (1916–1981), later the 2nd Viscount Maugham.

The title refers to three huge shadows over Maugham’s life: his famous father, Frederic Maugham, 1st Viscount Maugham; his uncle, writer W. Somerset Maugham; and his homosexuality.

Escape from the Shadows was published by Hodder & Stoughton. It was praised for its honesty, and depicts Maugham's struggles with alcohol and ill health, and sexual ambiguity.[1]

Maugham wrote a sequel autobiography, Search for Nirvana, which was published by W. H. Allen & Co. in 1975.[2]
