Screwball Comedy at its BestBy Robert A. CohenReading this book is an exhilarating experience. P. G. Wodehouse may not have invented madcap screwball comedy, but this novel proves that he is the consummate practitioner of that art form. Just when the reader thinks the plot cannot get any wackier, it gets downright zany. I say, old chap, reading this book is more fun than watching a dibbly dobbly flounder in a cricket match. And the way all the loose ends tie up at the end is unsurpassed for hilarity.Piccadilly Jim is among the funniest and most entertaining books I have ever read. If you have read Wodehousersquo;s Jeeves stories, and have enjoyed them, you simply must read Piccadilly Jim.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good read.By Donna DMBGood read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Superb, top-notch WodehouseBy Dr. Peter A. KwasniewskiSuperb, top-notch Wodehouse. An impossible story and yet he pulls it off with the usual aplomb. What I especially liked about this one is the clever use of a disguised identity throughout almost the entire story, which (in Shakespearean fashion) becomes a double disguised identity: someone pretending to be someone else pretending to be himself. The fat supercilious boy you love to hate, the hard-hearted female detective you love to hate, the criminal elements, and the suspense carried to the end -- pure brilliance. Although many might not recognize the name P.G. Wodehouse, they have inevitably come across his work. Wodehouse was a British humorist who wrote novels, short stories, journalism pieces, and other stuff, becoming extremely popular over a 70 year career. Today he is best known for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, but he was also a playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of 15 plays and 250 lyrics. Both the name "Jeeves" and the character of Jeeves have become a common part of the English lexicon, meaning a valet or chauffeur. It is even the inspiration behind the popular search engine Ask Jeeves. From Library JournalWodehouse spoofs again the British upper crust in this 1917 title, which finds the incorrigible title character facing reform by his haughty aunt.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. The farce is ingenious; Martin Jarvis brings the book to life...the ideal Christmas gift for Wodehousians. * * The Observer * * An idyllic world of sublime comedy. No better place to escape. * * The Sunday Times * * Wodehouse brightens up the dullest day and lightens the heaviest heart. * * audiobooksreview.co.uk * *About the AuthorSir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre- and post-World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.Jonathan Cecil (1939-2011) was a vastly experienced actor, appearing at Shakespeare's Globe as well as in such West End productions as The Importance of Being Earnest, The Seagull, and The Bed before Yesterday. He toured in The Incomparable Max, Twelfth Night, and An Ideal Husband, while among his considerable television and film appearances were The Rector's Wife, Just William, Murder Most Horrid, and As You Like It.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

The first part of the paper is concerned with the explicitly comic prose of P.G.Wodehouse, whilst in the second part of the paper, we investigate the laughter-talk, defined as the talk preceding and provoking, intentionally or otherwise, an episode of laughter, occurring during press briefings held at the White House during the Clinton era and the subsequent Bush administration. Both studies, by employing corpus analysis techniques together with detailed discourse reading, integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches to the respective data sets. Keywords Humour, stylistics, Wodehouse, press briefings, Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies. 1. The comic techniques in the prose of P.G. Wodehouse Despite being widely recognised as perhaps the greatest humorous novelist in the English language, and frequently also simply as a great creative genius (Hilaire Belloc called Wodehouse “the best living writer of English”), as Golab notes, “little evidence has been shown to justify this claim,” there is almost no literature “attempting to specify the reasons for Wodehouse’s success as a humorous writer” 190 Alan Partington From Wodehouse to the White House: A Corpus-Assisted Study of … (2004: 35).

  • Index to Wooster Sauceand by The
    Index to Wooster Sauce and By The Way 1997–2020 Guide to this Index This index covers all issues of Wooster Sauce and By The Way published since The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) was founded in 1997. It does not include the special supplements that were produced as Christmas bonuses for renewing members of the Society. (These were the Kid Brady Stories (seven instalments), The Swoop (seven instalments), and the original ending of Leave It to Psmith.) It is a very general index, in that it covers authors and subjects of published articles, but not details of article contents. (For example, the author Will Cuppy (a contemporary of PGW’s) is mentioned in several articles but is only included in the index when an article is specifically about him.) The index is divided into three sections: I. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Subject Index Page 1 II. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Author Index Page 34 III. By The Way Issues in Number Order Page 52 In the two indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then, in bold, either the issue and page number, separated by a dash (for Wooster Sauce); or ‘BTW’ and its issue number, again separated by a dash. For example, 1-1 is Wooster Sauce issue 1, page 1; 20-12 is issue 20, page 12; BTW-5 is By The Way issue 5; and so on. See the table on the next page for the dates of each Wooster Sauce issue number, as well as any special supplements.

Light hearted funny readBy V. StoufferThis is an old compilation about a bon vivant and his manservant. The stories were made into a sitcom decades ago. The heir hasn't much sense and the manservant not only saves him from himself but also advises some of his friends with similar life-styles. The stories are light-hearted and short, each making a nice quick read. They are a good escape at night to take your mind off of work/life dramas and clear your mind for sleep. Many are funny enough that you'll want to share them with family and friends, and clean enough that you can share them without worrying about the audience.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

WODEHOUSE (1881-1975) IN THE LIGHT OF THE EPISTEMIC APPROACH Gabriella Valentino [email protected] Swansea University Abstract Research on Humour and Translation studies requires instruments capable to appre- ciate their complex nature. We present here the epistemic approach, a tool especially devised to analyse the translation of humour instances in written fictional text. This approach focuses on the role knowledge plays in creative production and in the process of translating, allowing both translators and researchers to recognize the functions of the stylistic devices employed to convey humour, and to guide and evaluate their rendering in translation. The stylistic device investigated in this study is intertextuality in the works of humourist writer P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975). By means of a case study, its treatment in translation is analysed, comparing five translations of the same novel into Italian, published between 1931 and 1994. Keywords: P.G. Wodehouse. Epistemic approach. Intertextuality. Retranslation. Comic style. primera MonTI 9trans (2017: 1-24).

  • Novels by P G Wodehouse Appearing in Magazines
    The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 4 Revised December 2018 Novels by P G Wodehouse appearing in Magazines Of the novels written by P G Wodehouse, the vast majority were serialised in magazines, some appearing in a single issue. The nature of the serialisation changed with time. The early novels were serialised in almost identical form to the published book, but from the mid-1930s there was an increasing tendency for the magazine serialisation to be a condensed version of the novel. In some cases, the condensed version was written first. Attention is drawn in particular to the following titles: The Prince and Betty, which in both the first UK and first US magazine appearances, was based on the UK rather than the very different US book version of the text. A Prince for Hire, which was a serialised novelette based broadly on The Prince and Betty, but completely rewritten in 1931. The Eighteen Carat Kid, which in serial form consisted only of the adventure aspects of The Little Nugget, the love interest being added to ‘flesh out’ the book. Something New, which contained a substantial scene from The Lost Lambs (the second half of Mike) which was included in the American book edition, but not in Something Fresh, the UK equivalent. Leave It To Psmith, the magazine ending of which in both the US and the UK was rewritten for book publication in both countries. Laughing Gas, which started life as a serial of novelette length, and was rewritten for book publication to more than double its original length.

But it is when he questions the validity of the story of her narrow escape from a beastly, hungry shark that the engagement is firmly called off. But love is in the air for Gussie Fink-Nottle. He abandons his beloved newts to court Joy in the Morning: (Jeeves & Wooster) new object of his affections, the dreamy and romantic Miss Madeline Bassett.

  • By the Way Sept 08.Qxd
    BY THE WAY Occasional Newsletters from The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Number 35 September 2008 IONICUS Covers for Wodehouse Paperbacks The topic for this By The Way was inspired by two members, Stephen Payne and Graeme Davidson. Stephen was anxious to confirm precisely how many Wodehouse books had been illustrated by Ionicus, as he understood there were more than the 56 Penguins he had at that point acquired. Graeme had been in correspondence with Ionicus in the late 1980s, with a view to purchasing the original artwork for one of the covers. The artist Ionicus (J C Armitage), who died in February 1998, still retains a narrow lead as the person who has designed more covers for Wodehouse books than any other, although this position will be surrendered during 2009 to Andrzej Klimowski, illustrator of the Collectors series of jacketed hardbacks published by Everyman (or Overlook in the USA). Ionicus provided the illustrations for a total of 58 Penguins, as listed below, plus the wrap-around cover for the Chatto & Windus first edition of Wodehouse’s last book, Sunset at Blandings (part of which was also used for the cover of the Coronet paperback). 1969 Piccadilly Jim 1974 The Little Nugget 1969 Spring Fever 1974 Sam the Sudden 1970 Psmith in the City 1974 Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin 1970 Psmith, Journalist 1975 Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves 1971 The Mating Season 1975 Leave It to Psmith 1971 Very Good, Jeeves 1975 Indiscretions of Archie 1971 Laughing Gas 1975 Bachelors Anonymous 1971 Blandings Castle 1975 Doctor Sally 1971 Summer Lightning
