Good classic Wodehouse.By Christophe R. WorthThe book was typical Wodehouse, always fun, light, and well plotted and written. I always like characters that are a little dark. In Uneasy Money, Claire and Didley Pickering are two. Wodehouse has a way of including darkness in his great comedy which I find very interesting and funny.The format of this particular printing drove me nuts. Why the large format (7" by 10")? And the automatic formatting made more than a few formatting errors, making the text harder to read. Part of the pleasure of reading a book (as opposed to reading a computer) is holding the real paper and ink in my hands. The unnecessary large format and weird layout of the text on the pages eliminated most of the "reading a real book" satisfaction. I will stay away from this publisher, Wilder Publications, in the future.I also like to think that books like this one reflect Wodehouse's experiences in the entertainment world of New York in the early 20th century. Characters like the Good Sport and Lady Pauline Wetherby and performances like the Dream of Psyche are classic Wodehouse. These are not quite up to the level of Lord Emsworth or the Story of the Prawns, but still a lot of fun. I keep reading Wodehouse books in hopes of reading an account of the Story of the Prawns, but have yet to find it.But, like all Wodehouse, a lot of fun and a good read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great stand aloneBy phillip joe fitzsimmonsIn my opinion this is one of Wodehouse's great stand alone novels. It's unique absurdity is satisfying and prevents it from being one of his recycled stories. I recommend it and know I will be rereading it in the future.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Bit Painful, But the Ending Makes up for itBy illiandanticP.G. Wodehouse first published "Uneasy Money" back in 1917, so it's long out of copyright and freely available on the web. I'll say up front that even though I'm rating it at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5, I'd really like to give it a half star less (i.e., 3-1/2 stars). It has the characteristic Wodehouse intertwined plots, interesting characters, and wonderful descriptions. It also has a very nice ending. Unfortunately, it comes with quite a few painful situations that keep hovering with an occasional shoe-dropping. I prefer my Wodehouse "nice" instead of "painful." But, that's a personal preference and if it doesn't bother you give it a try: it doesn't cost anything and is otherwise very good. Books for All Kinds of Readers.

"The very definition of British humor ... in suave hardcover volumes, the dust jackets as natty as the prose."About the AuthorAnglo-American wit, short-story writer, dramatist and lyricist, educated at Dulwich College and chiefly noted as the creator of the efficient butler, Jeeves. He wrote more than 90 books and more than 20 film scripts and collaborated on more than 30 plays and musical comedies. His major works include Psmith in the City (1910), Very Good Jeeves (1930), The Butler Did It (1957), Bachelors Anonymous (1974), O, Kay (1926) and Rosalie (1928).From AudioFileThe plot of this amiable romance is secondary to its style. Wodehouse's masterful language makes high comedy out of situations that would be dull or slapstick in less capable hands. He invites reading aloud, but his effects are fragile, requiring a light, deft touch. Simon Vance's delivery is understated but satis-factory. He has a pleasant voice and a sympathetic feel for the material. But those who have heard the Bertie Wooster series from the BBC may be left wishing for a less restrained performance. J.N.

    Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 4.2 (2008): 189-213 189 DOI 10.2478/v10016-008-0013-3 Alan Partington University of Bologna FROM WODEHOUSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE: A CORPUS-ASSISTED STUDY OF PLAY, FANTASY AND DRAMATIC INCONGRUITY IN COMIC WRITING AND LAUGHTER-TALK Abstract In this paper I consider two discourse types, one written and literary, the other spoken and semi-conversational, in an attempt to discover if there are any similarities in the ways in which humour is generated in such apparently diverse forms of communication. 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).

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Wodehouse in Wonderland by Robert Mccrum
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 37 Number 1 Spring 2016 Wodehouse in Wonderland by Robert McCrum Writer and noted Wodehouse biographer Robert McCrum spoke at the Pseattle convention about Wodehouse’s ability to react with humor to any event, even the most extreme and painful, including his experiences during and after World War II. I personally was very moved when I considered Wodehouse’s innermost feeling during those last decades of his life. Thanks to Robert for giving us permission to share this fascinating study with the entire society. or more than twenty years I’ve been hearing about Fthese Wodehouse conventions. Now, finally, I get it. This is probably the most fun you can have without being arrested, an offbeat symposium of sheer delight. So first, my thanks to The Wodehouse Society for Writer Robert McCrum its kind invitation, with a special thank-you to Tom Smith. Since we first met in 2002, Tom has now become Nor should we overlook Stanley Featherstonehaugh a doctor (of letters) as well as a major.

Or—well, we all have of Wodehouse [Wodehouse: A Life], an unforgettable our favorites. This is about to be a golden season for experience with so many happy memories. But life since Wodehouse anniversaries, and a jubilee for the world’s completing that work has been wonderful, too.

  • Red-Hot Stuff—But Where's the Red-Hot Staff?
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 26 Number 4 Winter 2005 Red-Hot Stuff—But Where’s the Red-Hot Staff? BY MURRAY HEDGCOCK Murray Hedgcock, longtime journalist, author of Wodehouse at the Wicket, and a patron of the P G Wodehouse Society (UK) was, alas, unable to attend the Hollywood convention. Instead he sent Hilary Bruce, Chairman of the UK Society, and Robert Bruce, Chairman’s Consort and Accompanying Person, to deliver his talk for him—and a wonderful job they did, too. o student of the Press could resist that delightful Nquotation in Service with a Smile introducing us to Tilbury House, home of the Mammoth Publishing Company. This is, we learn, that busy hive where hordes of workers toil day and night, churning out reading matter for the masses. For Lord Tilbury’s numerous daily and weekly papers are not, as is sometimes supposed, just Acts of God: they are produced deliberately. The Red-Hot Murray Hedgcock (photo courtesy of Tony Ring) It sums up the essence of the popular Press, whether yesterday’s Yellow Press of New York or today’s Redtops of London. Even the most frivolous and rubbish papers are produced on purpose, to meet a popular demand. But note that valid reference—it takes “hordes of workers” to produce even the rubbish. And this is utterly at variance with the general depiction of publications in Wodehouse. Ever since discovering Milady’s Boudoir, Cosy Moments, Wee Tots, and specific Mammoth periodicals, I have puzzled over the astonishing productivity of their workers. None of these publications seems to have more than half a dozen staff; many have just one, perhaps two.

  • The PG Wodehouse Society
    The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 1 Revised December 2018 Books by P G Wodehouse The purpose of this information sheet is to provide a comprehensive list of the books written by P G Wodehouse. There is no agreement amongst commentators or aficionados as to how many he wrote, for the reasons explained below, and The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) does not express a view on this matter. Please note that the Society’s listing does not include titles of books which have appeared since Wodehouse’s death for which the Wodehouse Trustees did not give consent for publication. In some cases, this may be because the texts, for example short stories in a new compilation, are now in the public domain in the country of publication so that consent was not sought; in other cases, the publication maybe wholly unofficial, in breach of copyright law and not necessarily in a format in which Wodehouse would recognise. Reasons why there can be many legitimate views as to the number of his books include: 1 Several books, particularly collections of short stories, which were published in the United States differed in the minutiae of their contents from the nearest equivalent collection in the United Kingdom. 2 Some books have joint authorship with another person. 3 When referring to his output of fiction, it is necessary to exclude autobiographical and similar work, and collections of essays. 4 It is not uncommon for reports in the media to double-count his output, eg by misusing the term ‘novel’ to include short story collections, and accordingly referring to ‘more than 90 (or even 100) novels and 300 short stories’, when any total number of books approaching 100 will already have to include the collections of short stories.
