Right Ho, Jeeves P. Short review: glorious collection of three Jeeves and Wooster novels. Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings.

    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 37 Number 4 Winter 2016 Lieutenant Colonel Norman T. P. Murphy May 20, 1933–October 18, 2016 by David Landman t is distressing to report that one of the mainstays I of The Wodehouse Society, Norman Murphy, died on October 18 of complications following a stroke. I stare at this dismal sentence and find it hard to digest. And then it occurs to me—as I sense his scrupulous presence— that I don’t really know what a mainstay is. He would have, though—as well as every other mast, sail, and item of tackle on an eighteenth-century ship of the line. So change the metaphor: Norman Murphy, the dean of The Wodehouse Society, has died. More accurate, perhaps, but no less dismal. Even the bare facts of his life as they are recounted in the splendid obituaries published in the October 20 London Times and Daily Telegraph (http://tinyurl.com/ ntpm-times and http://tinyurl.com/ntpm-teleg) evoke the sense of an extraordinary man. I recommend readers view these touching portraits; in this article I shall just note a Norman explains the Wodehouse regalia tea bell at one of the biennial conventions of The Wodehouse Society few highlights of his life and relate some anecdotes—many from personal experience—that I hope will convey the spirited dash of his personality and what it was like to be in the presence of a man of such intense energy and unquenchable curiosity about everything in the world. Born in London in 1933 to physician Thomas Murphy and his wife, Norah, Irish emigrants from County Cork, Norman told me that one of his earliest memories was being wakened by his mother to watch in the distance the flames consuming the Crystal Palace (then located in southeast London).

  • 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>.

    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. See the table on the next page for the dates of each Wooster Sauce issue number, as well as any special supplements.

  • 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.

Light hearted funny readBy V. StoufferThis is an old compilation about a bon vivant and his manservant. The stories were made into a sitcom decades ago. The heir hasn't much sense and the manservant not only saves him from himself but also advises some of his friends with similar life-styles. The stories are light-hearted and short, each making a nice quick read. They are a good escape at night to take your mind off of work/life dramas and clear your mind for sleep. Many are funny enough that you'll want to share them with family and friends, and clean enough that you can share them without worrying about the audience.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

  • 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.
