It features an intelligent sex-mad Bertie, a singing, dancing, and pugilistic Jeeves, an unnecessary black saxophonist, and so on and so on. Retrieved 25 February Condition: Very Good. When violence occurs in Wodehouse's stories, it causes either no injury or much less than would be expected in real life, similar to the downplayed injuries that occur in stage comedy. I should have thought you would have been only too glad of the chance of helping me get to the man I love. And, in matters of succession, if you aren't issue, you haven't a hope. At Deverill Hall, an idyllic Tudor manor in the village of King's Deverill, impostors are in the air. This was Wodehouse satirizing the British upper classes between the World Wars. Thank You, Jeeves! As two-seaters go, I had always found mine fairly comfortable, but then I had never before tried to get the eight hours in it, and you would be surprised at the number of knobs and protuberances which seem suddenly to sprout out of a car's upholstery when you seek to convert it into a bed. And it so happened that he was in New York when the announcement of my engagement appeared in the papers. This Voules was a bird built rather on the lines of the Albert Hall, round in the middle and not much above. Beginning with this novel, Bertie's efforts to avoid marriage become the mainspring of the plot. All that remains is to fix the times.

Wodehouse, Bob Norrington Poor Bertie is in the soup again, and throughout this latest omnibus it is only Jeeves who keeps him from being the fish and the main course as well. The timing that bounces off the two is priceless, and much of the film feels ad-libbed in their casualty and naturalness together.

  • 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>.

It is only more recently that the name appears on any lists." The Mcllvaine bibliography says the first English edition was published November, 1904, when Plum was barely 23, and there were four undated reissues.

    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.

  • Subversive Shakespearean Intertextualities in PG
    Sarah Säckel What’s in a Wodehouse? (Non-) Subversive Shakespearean Intertextualities in P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster Novels P.G. Wodehouse’s use of intertextual references in his popular comic novels achieves several effects. Most quotations from canonised texts create incongruous, humorous dialogues and scenes. Frequent repetitions of the same quoted material turn it into a part of the ‘Wooster world’, achieve a certain ‘monologic closedness’ and heighten the effect of readerly immersion. On the other hand, the intertexts also open up the novels to an intertextual dialogue which trig- gers comparative readings. The usage of mainly English intertexts, however, creates a ‘monocul- tural’ dialogue which emphasises the texts’ portrayal of ‘Englishness’ and ‘English humour’. The intertextual references thus work as pillars of English cultural memory; pillars on which the Jeeves and Wooster novels’ reception itself is built. This paper shall concentrate on the predomi- nating intertextual dialogue between P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster novels and a selec- tion of William Shakespeare’s plays. Introduction and Theoretical Approach What’s in a Wodehouse? – Shakespeare and much more. Various forms of intertextual reference such as allusion, imitation, rewriting, parody and quo- tation abound in P.G. Wodehouse’s comic Jeeves and Wooster1 novels. Pos- sibly one of the most quoted sentences in secondary texts concerned with the analysis of P.G. Wodehouse’s comic novels is the following statement in which the author describes his style: 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.2 1 None of the novels is actually called Jeeves and Wooster.
