Wodehouse | 656 pages | 20 Jun 2011 | Cornerstone | 9780099514244 | English | London, United Kingdom The World of Blandings (Blandings) by P G Wodehouse A Blandings Omnibus In this wonderfully fat omnibus, which seems to span the dimensions of the Empress of Blandings herself the fattest pig in Shropshire and surely all Englandthe whole world of Blandings Castle is spread out for our delectation: the engagingly dotty Lord Emsworth and his enterprising brother Galahad, his terrifying sister Lady Constance, Beach the butler his voice 'like tawny port made audible'James Wellbeloved, the gifted but not always sober pigman, and Lord Emsworth's secretary the Efficient Baxter, with gleaming spectacles, whose attempts to bring order to the Castle always end in disarray. Lurking in the wings is Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe of Matchingham Hall, the neighbour with designs on the Prize which must surely belong to the The World of Blandings: (Blandings Castle). As Evelyn Waugh wrote, 'The gardens of Blandings Castle are that original garden from which we are all exiled. Each time you read another Blandings story, the sublime nature of that world is such as to make you gasp. It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him. Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists. For as long as I'm immersed in a P. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day.

  • Aunts Aren't What?
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 27 Number 3 Autumn 2006 Aunts Aren’t What? BY CHARLES GOULD ecently, cataloguing a collection of Wodehouse novels in translation, I was struck again by R the strangeness of the title Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen and by the sad history that seems to dog this title and its illustrators, who in my experience always include a cat. Wodehouse’s original title is derived from the dialogue between Jeeves and Bertie at the very end of the novel, in which Bertie’s idea that “the trouble with aunts as a class” is “that they are not gentlemen.” In context, this is very funny and certainly needs no explication. We are well accustomed to the “ungentlemanly” behavior of Aunt Agatha—autocratic, tyrannical, unreasoning, and unfair—though in this instance it’s the good and deserving Aunt Dahlia whose “moral code is lax.” But exalted to the level of a title and thus isolated, the statement A sensible Teutonic “aunts aren’t gentlemen” provokes some scrutiny. translation First, it involves a terrible pun—or at least homonymic wordplay—lost immediately on such lost American souls as pronounce “aunt” “ant” and “aren’t” “arunt.” That “aunt” and “aren’t” are homonyms is something of a stretch in English anyway, and to stretch it into a translation is hopeless. True, in “The Aunt and the Sluggard” (My Man Jeeves), Wodehouse wants us to pronounce “aunt” “ant” so that the title will remind us of the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper; but “ants aren’t gentlemen” hasn’t a whisper of wit or euphony to recommend it to the ear.

Farmer George brushing the dew from his lawns and William Cowper sitting by the fire with the cup that cheers but not inebriates, there was an extraordinary outbreak of pigs in the social and intellectual life of England. These were not merely pigs of good breeding and im­ peccable taste; they were creatures of decorous deportment and aston­ ishing learning as well. They appeared in drawing rooms and on stage, and their accomplishments filled the lacunae of magazines and letters and literary causeries. They profoundly impressed some of the greatest geniuses of the age and left a name at which the world grew pale, to point a moral or adorn a tale. Not only did they appear in poems, but poems were written for them; indeed, the Learned Pig was seen as the rival of one of the greatest poets of the age.
