  • 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. G. Wodehouse is to look closely at the style in which he wrote his Jeeves and Wooster novels, which began in the 1920s, and to realise how different it is from that used in the dozens of other books he wrote, some of them as much admired as the famous master-and-servant stories. Indeed, those other novels and stories, including the Psmith books of the 1910s and the later Blandings Castle series, are useful in showing just how distinct a style it is. It is a unique, vernacular, contorted, slangy idiom which I have labeled baroque because it is in such sharp con- trast to the almost bland classical sentences of the other Wodehouse books. The Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary describes the ba- roque style as “marked generally by use of complex forms, bold or- *For debates inspired by this article, please check the Connotations website at <http://www.connotations.de/debdugan02023.htm>.

  • 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.
