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. See section III for a complete listing of By The Way articles in chronological order (by issue number). Note that some articles may be repeated under two or more subject headings. The Author Index includes contributors of special items where relevant, even if the contributor did not write the article. The Subject Index includes cross-references to other relevant topics as well as to By The Way articles. Columns, Regular Features, and Filler Items: Regular Wooster Sauce columns and features, such as Recent Press Comment and Cosy Moments, are included as their own subject heading in the Subject Index; an exception is Future Events, which has been omitted. The regular feature of Poet’s Corner includes the title of each PGW poem published in Wooster Sauce. Certain (but not all) subjects of The Bibliographic Corner columns are indexed; all are listed under the Bibliographic Corner heading in chronological order. However, the individual components of columns and features (e.g., Recent Press Comment, Editor’s Tailpieces, Cosy Moments, The Word Around the Clubs, etc.) are usually not included in the index, as these items are too numerous, often too short, and sometimes too obscure or out of date to include. Similarly, short ‘filler’ items, PGW quotes, offers of books for sale, and general announcements are not indexed unless of special interest in some way. Alphabetization: The editor of this index has chosen a word-by-word approach to alphabetization, meaning that once a space is inserted, alphabetization is interrupted; however, words containing dashes, hyphens, and apostrophes are treated as single words, without the punctuation. Otherwise a strict letter-by-letter alphabetization rule has been applied, which means, for example, that Mac and Mc names are not grouped together (as done in many library catalogues) but are in their correct alphabetical location (i.e., MacKenzie, Compton / Make Way for Newts / McClure, Victoria / Meeting with a legend). Exceptions: ‘St’ is alphabetized as if spelled out (‘Saint’); and numbers rendered as numbers (e.g., ‘9’ rather than ‘Nine’) are placed first in a list of titles, followed by spelled-out titles. The articles A and The at the beginning of a title or subject are ignored in alphabetization, which begins with the next word, but they are included for alphabetizing purposes later in the sentence – for example: Wodehouse and Dulwich / Wodehouse and the Animal Kingdom / Wodehouse at Work / A Wodehouse Primer / The Wodehouse Way.

  • 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.

  • Wodehouse and the Baroque*1
    Connotations Vol. 20.2-3 (2010/2011) Worcestershirewards: Wodehouse and the Baroque*1 LAWRENCE DUGAN I should define as baroque that style which deli- berately exhausts (or tries to exhaust) all its pos- sibilities and which borders on its own parody. (Jorge Luis Borges, The Universal History of Infamy 11) Unfortunately, however, if there was one thing circumstances weren’t, it was different from what they were, and there was no suspicion of a song on the lips. The more I thought of what lay before me at these bally Towers, the bowed- downer did the heart become. (P. G. Wodehouse, The Code of the Woosters 31) A good way to understand the achievement of P.
