Blandings Blandings is dysfunction junction, the home of a chaotic family struggling to keep itself in order. Clarence Threepwood, Ninth Earl of Emsworth and master of Blandings Castle, yearns with all his soul to be left in peace; Blandings in the company of his beloved pig, The Empress. But he never is. There is always someone who wants him to do something. Presiding over the blitzkrieg on his equilibrium is the baleful figure of his sister Connie, with whom he shares the house; at her shoulder Blandings Clarence's brainless younger son Freddie and a panoply of friends, Blandings, servants, spongers, private detectives, bookies and confidence tricksters Written by Guy Andrews. I've been reading Wodehouse pretty much all my life. I love the lightness, the frothy confusion and the way he wove the characters into living, breathing people on the page. And as such, I approached the arrival of 'Blandings' with a mix of excitement and Blandings. Fear, because it's notoriously difficult to get Wodehouse from the page to the screen. The first episode seemed to reinforce all those fears, presenting me with a show that bore little resemblance to those 'living breathing people' that my long association with Wodehouse had let loose inside my head. However, things were to change, and for the better Fry and Laurie's approach back Blandings the 90s with Jeeves and Wooster was to throw Blandings line out with gusto, and hope that, on occasion, some of them hit the mark. By and large they succeeded. This wasn't the approach with Blandings. With Blandings, it's very much the character interaction that drives the show, and so it was as much the delivery as the dialogue that Blandings going to Blandings or break the show. And in the beginning, things looked bleak. However, Blandings the series progressed, I did find myself warming more to the actors. Tim Spall plays Emsworth with a mix of muddle-headedness and down-trodden persecution, constantly trying to squirm out from under the thumb of Jennifer Saunders' Lady Constance. Mark Blandings performance as Beach Blandings surprisingly good, especially as Beach is described as 'stately' in the novels, and one thing that Williams isn't, is stately. Jack Farthing is air-headed, frivolous and spend-thrift as Freddie, and swings from Blandings to Blandings. The other characters go a long Blandings to supporting the main cast, especially Cyril Wellbeloved, Angus McAllister, and the slimy Baxter. There's also a stream of female visitors, some of which could grace my table anytime. Pandora and Monica Simmons Blandings especially striking. The dialogue was, on occasion, very good indeed, and strangely in keeping with what Wodehouse may have written, were he sitting down today to write Blandings for the first time. Now the series has ended, Blandings left hoping Blandings a second to be commissioned, and will Blandings doubt be paying for the DVD - and this is Blandings I never thought I Blandings be saying after the Blandings episode.

  • Index to Plum Lines 1980–2020
    INDEX TO PLUM LINES 1980–2020 Guide to the Index: While there are all sorts of rules and guidelines on the subject of indexing, virtually none can be applied to the formidable task of indexing Plum Lines (and its predecessor, Comments in Passing), the quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society, which was founded in 1980. Too many variables confront the task’s indexer—not to mention a few too many errors in how issues were numbered over the years (see Index to the Index, below). Consequently, a new sort of index has been created in such a way (we hope) as to make it as easy as possible to use. Following are some guidelines. 1. Finding what you want: Whatever you are looking for, it should be possible to find it using our handy-dandy system of cross-referencing: • SUBJECTS are in BOLD CAPS followed by a list of the relevant articles. (See the list of Subject Headings, below.) • Authors and Contributors (note that some articles have both an author and a contributor) are listed in uppercase-lowercase bold, last name first, with a list of articles following the name. • Regular columns are simply listed in bold under their own titles rather than under a subject heading. 2. Locating the listed article: Any article listed in the index is followed by a series of numbers indicating its volume number, issue number, and page number. For example, one can find articles on Across the pale parabola: 14.2.17; 15.4.13 in Volume 14, Number 2, Page 17 and Volume 15, Number 4, Page 13.

  • “Across the Pale Parabola of Joy”: Wodehouse Parodist
    Connotations Vol. 13.1-2 (2003/2004) “Across the pale parabola of Joy”: Wodehouse Parodist INGE LEIMBERG In his stories and novels Wodehouse never comments on his tech- nique but, fortunately, in his letters to Bill Townend, the author friend who first introduced him to Stanley Featherstonaugh Ukridge, he does drop some professional hints, for instance: I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making the thing a sort of musical comedy without music, and ignoring real life alto- gether; the other is going right down into life and not caring a damn. (WoW 313) This is augmented by a later remark concerning autobiographic inter- pretations, especially of Shakespeare: A thing I can never understand is why all the critics seem to assume that his plays are a reflection of his personal moods and dictated by the circum- stances of his private life. […] I can’t see it. Do you find that your private life affects your work? I don’t. (WoW 360) In 1935, when he confessed to “ignoring real life altogether,” Wode- house had found his form. Looking at his work of some 25 years before, we can get an idea of how he did so. In Psmith Journalist (1912), for instance, that exquisite is indeed concerned with real life, but, ten years later, in Leave it to Psmith, he joins the Blandings gang and, finally, replaces the efficient Baxter as Lord Emsworth’s secretary, with hardly a trace of real life left in him. Opening one of Wodehouse’s best stories or novels is like saying, “Open Sesame!” or “Curtain up!” and from then on, in a way, nothing is but what is not.

Wodehouse Conquers Sweden by Bengt Malmberg n 1964, in a letter to Georg Svensson, chief editor of Ithe publishing house Bonniers, Wodehouse wrote: I am glad of this opportunity to tell you how grateful I am to you for all the trouble you have taken to put me over with the Swedish public. I am so intensely spiritual that money means nothing to me, but I must confess that the cheques that Mr. Watt sends me for my Swedish sales do give me a gentle thrill. Whenever a book of mine is going what my publisher calls “slowly” in the USA, I cheer up because I know that everything is going to be all right in Sweden, thanks to you. In 2012 we celebrated 100 years of Wodehouse in the Swedish language.
