  • Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle
    Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle The Dedication of a Memorial Stone to P G Wodehouse Friday 20th September 2019 6.15 pm HISTORICAL NOTE It is no bad thing to be remembered for cheering people up. As Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) has it in his novel Something Fresh, the gift of humour is twice blessed, both by those who give and those who receive: ‘As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.’ Wodehouse dedicated almost 75 years of his professional life to doing just that, arguably better—and certainly with greater application—than any other writer before or since. For he never deviated from the path of that ambition, no matter what life threw at him. If, as he once wrote, “the object of all good literature is to purge the soul of its petty troubles”, the consistently upbeat tone of his 100 or so books must represent one of the largest-ever literary bequests to human happiness by one man. This has made Wodehouse one of the few humourists we can rely on to increase the number of hours of sunshine in the day, helping us to joke unhappiness and seriousness back down to their proper size simply by basking in the warmth of his unique comic world. And that’s before we get round to mentioning his 300 or so song lyrics, countless newspaper articles, poems, and stage plays. The 1998 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary cited over 1,600 quotations from Wodehouse, second only to Shakespeare.

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.

  • “Across the Pale Parabola of Joy”: Wodehouse Parodist
    Connotations Vol. 13.1-2 (2003/2004) “Across the pale parabola of Joy”: Wodehouse Parodist INGE LEIMBERG In his stories and novels Wodehouse never comments on his tech- nique but, fortunately, in his letters to Bill Townend, the author friend who first introduced him to Stanley Featherstonaugh Ukridge, he does drop some professional hints, for instance: I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making the thing a sort of musical comedy without music, and ignoring real life alto- gether; the other is going right down into life and not caring a damn. (WoW 313) This is augmented by a later remark concerning autobiographic inter- pretations, especially of Shakespeare: A thing I can never understand is why all the critics seem to assume that his plays are a reflection of his personal moods and dictated by the circum- stances of his private life. […] I can’t see it. Do you find that your private life affects your work? I don’t. (WoW 360) In 1935, when he confessed to “ignoring real life altogether,” Wode- house had found his form. Looking at his work of some 25 years before, we can get an idea of how he did so. In Psmith Journalist (1912), for instance, that exquisite is indeed concerned with real life, but, ten years later, in Leave it to Psmith, he joins the Blandings gang and, finally, replaces the efficient Baxter as Lord Emsworth’s secretary, with hardly a trace of real life left in him. Opening one of Wodehouse’s best stories or novels is like saying, “Open Sesame!” or “Curtain up!” and from then on, in a way, nothing is but what is not.

  • Great Doctors in English Literature: Sir Roderickglossop
    Br Med J (Clin Res Ed): first published as 10.1136/bmj.287.6409.1962 on 24 December 1983. Downloaded from 1962 BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL VOLUME 287 24-31 DECEMBER 1983 Great doctors in English literature: Sir Roderick Glossop P M J BENNETT The eminent brain specialist, Sir Roderick Glossop, of 6b Harley Street and Ditteredge Hall, Hants, bestrode the world of P G Wodehouse like a colossus: not least because he was one of the very few characters to have a foot in both the Wooster/ Jeeves canon and the Blandings Castle sagas. Sir Roderick's practice encompassed many of the ancient, noble, and barmy families in the kingdom; unfortunately, from the point of view of medical research, his appearances in the narratives are occasioned by episodes such as his daughter Honoria's mercifully brief engagements to Bertie Wooster and his friends, so we have few glimpses of Sir Roderick at work. One of the reasons why he moved with such ease among the aristocracy was that he was born to it, and he had been at school with Clarence, 9th Earl of Emsworth, who recalled him as "a most unpleasant boy with a nasty, superior manner and an extraordinary number of spots on his face." It was Lord Emsworth's recollection of Sir Roderick by his school nickname, "Pimples," which so affronted the celebrated alienist that he refused to visit Blandings to assess the sanity of the egg throwing Duke of Dunstable. Presumably at some stage he lost his pimples and acquired the unmistakable appearance of his prime.

  • 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.
