  • Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle
    Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle The Dedication of a Memorial Stone to P G Wodehouse Friday 20th September 2019 6.15 pm HISTORICAL NOTE It is no bad thing to be remembered for cheering people up. As Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) has it in his novel Something Fresh, the gift of humour is twice blessed, both by those who give and those who receive: ‘As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.’ Wodehouse dedicated almost 75 years of his professional life to doing just that, arguably better—and certainly with greater application—than any other writer before or since. For he never deviated from the path of that ambition, no matter what life threw at him. If, as he once wrote, “the object of all good literature is to purge the soul of its petty troubles”, the consistently upbeat tone of his 100 or so books must represent one of the largest-ever literary bequests to human happiness by one man. This has made Wodehouse one of the few humourists we can rely on to increase the number of hours of sunshine in the day, helping us to joke unhappiness and seriousness back down to their proper size simply by basking in the warmth of his unique comic world. And that’s before we get round to mentioning his 300 or so song lyrics, countless newspaper articles, poems, and stage plays. The 1998 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary cited over 1,600 quotations from Wodehouse, second only to Shakespeare.

Wodehouse isn't as political as Wilde, he isn't quite as scathing in his criticism of society, and he isn't as bitingly funny, but that makes him no less entertaining. Tela editorial algo deslucida. Soft cover. I love Wodehouse but I suppose they do tend to run together a bit. This was Lord Emsworth's sister Lady Ann Warblington, who is mentioned in Something Fresh as subject to headaches and largely confined to her room, never to reappear in a Blandings novel again. It's very kind of you to keep offering me your dead mouse; but honestly, I have no use for it. Then we have Lord Emsworth, a gruff yet lovable but extremely forgetful man, who is liable to steal the silverware from a restaurant as most people would walk off with a cheap ballpoint pen. Details if other :. He thought highly of his mouse and it was beyond him to realize that I did not want it. Throw in all sorts of millionaires and mix-ups, maids and butlers, a loveable, old, potty Earl, and the beginning of the crime wave at Blandings, and you have the makings of either a rollicking musical comedy or a long series of delightful novels. There is even a Wooster lurking about. Tales of St. Of the Blandings Castle characters of note, the Efficient Baxter, secretary to Lord Emsworth more interested in gardening and furniture painting than in his numerous guests , is the one who pushes the story forward, acts as a self appointed crime investigator and is the victim of most of the jokes and pranks, a role that would later be taken by various village policemen.

  • 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.
