The Little Nugget
WODEHOUSE THE LITTLE NUGGET NY PUBLIC LIBRARY THE BRANCH LIBRARIES 3 3333 11794 7081 I 1 Lr W Wodehouse, P. G. The 1 ittle nugget / 874858 TheNe Public Aator, Lenox and 1 Penguin Books The Little Nugget P. G. Wodehouse was born in Guildford in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After working for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank for two years, he left to earn his living as a journalist and storywriter, writing the 'By the Way* column in the old Globe. He also contributed a series of school stories to a magazine for boys, the Captain, in one of which Psmith made his first appearance. Going to America before the First World War, he sold a serial to the Saturday Evening Post and for the next twenty-five years almost all his books appeared first in this magazine. He was part author and writer of the lyrics of eighteen musical comedies including Kissing Time; he married in 1914 and in 1955 took American citizenship. He wrote over ninety books and his work has won world-wide acclaim, being translated into many languages. The Times hailed him as 'a comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce'. P. G. Wodehouse said, *I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn . .' He was created a Knight of the British Empire in the New Year's Honours List in 1975. -

Swanee”—Al Jolson (1920) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“Swanee”—Al Jolson (1920) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell Al Jolson Original label Thanks to tributes, covers, excerpts and parodies, there are few people of any age that don’t know the chorus to “Swanee”: Swanee, How I love ya, how I love ya,… My dear old swanee…. Irving Caesar and George Gerswhin wrote it; Al Jolson made it immortal. “Swanee’s” success and endurance can be ascribed to many things, not the least of which is its cross-sectional appeal. It has the upbeat feel of a show tune (as which it began), the pride-of- place enthusiasm of a patriotic anthem, and the sing-along-ability of a campfire favorite. Along with becoming one of the songs most identified with the legendary Jolson, “Swanee” would also prove to be the prolific Gerswhin’s most successful song ever. As a recording, it sold over two-million copies and, as sheet music, one million copies. Its success allowed Gershwin to concentrate almost exclusively on his work in the theatre while solidifying Jolson’s position as one of America’s most revered entertainers. The birth of the song “Swanee” is well noted. Gerswhin and Caesar wrote it—allegedly as a response to Stephen Foster’s “Old Folk Home”--while on the upper deck of a double decker bus while traveling from the offices of the T.B. Harmes Publishing Company to Gerswhin’s apartment. As Caesar would remark later, “In those days, you wrote a song and then you tried to place it.” The first place “Swanee” was placed was in New Wayburn’s “Demi-Tasse Revue” which opened at New York’s Capitol Theater on October 24, 1919. -

Appendix 1 Number of Individuals out of Every 1000 Who Could Not Sign Their Name on a Marriage Register: 1896–1907
Appendix 1 Number of individuals out of every 1000 who could not sign their name on a marriage register: 1896–1907 Male Female Total 1896–1900 32 37 69 1901–1905 20 24 44 1905–1907 27 27 54 236 Appendix 2 Extract from Beatrice Harraden, ‘What Our Soldiers Read’, Cornhill Magazine, vol. XLI (Nov. 1916) Turning aside from technical subjects to literature in general, I would like to say that although we have not ever attempted to force good books on our soldiers, we have of course taken great care to place them within their reach. And it is not an illusion to say that when the men once begin on a better class of book, they do not as a rule return to the old stuff which formerly constituted their whole range of reading. My own impression is that they read rubbish because they have had no one to tell them what to read. Stevenson, for instance, has lifted many a young soldier in our hospital on to a higher plane of reading whence he has looked down with something like scorn – which is really very funny – on his former favourites. For that group of readers, ‘Treasure Island’ has been a discovery in more senses than one, and to the librarians a boon unspeakable. We have had, however, a large number of men who in any case care for good literature, and indeed would read nothing else. Needless to say, we have had special pleasure in trying to find them some book which they would be sure to like and which was already in our collection, or else in buying it, and thus adding to our stock. -
Wodehouse and the First World War
P.G. Wodehouse and the First World War George Simmers Biographers and others have written much about Wodehouse’s misadventures during the Second World War, when he was caught unawares in the South of France by the German invasion, and was interned in Upper Silesia as an enemy alien. Then in Berlin he made ill-advised broadcasts for German radio, treating his captivity lightly, so that he was accused of betraying his country by giving comfort to the enemy. The angry response to these broadcasts in Britain severely damaged his reputation; it was hurtful enough to ensure that he never again made his home in England. What is less well known is that 20 years earlier, during the First World War, Wodehouse had also been out of step with his country’s mood, a disparity that becomes the more striking when what he wrote during these years is set beside the wartime writing of his older brother, Armine. Distanced from the war Several years before the war began P. G. Wodehouse was already refusing to take it seriously. In 1909 he wrote The Swoop, or How Clarence Saved England, a short book parodying the invasion novels and stories that had been popular since 1871, when General Sir George Tomkyns Chesney’s The Battle of Dorking had tantalized and horrified English readers by suggesting that the military tactics used to crush the George Simmers: Wodehouse and the First World War 1 French army in the brief and violent Franco-Prussian War of 1870 would meet little effective resistance in an England complacently used to the habits of peacetime.
