Stuck in a job he doesn't want -- but can't afford to lose -- as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches... apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plot which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visit, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce.

  • La Narrativa De Tom Sharpe: Entre Lafarsa Y La Sátira
    La narrativa de Tom Sharpe: Entre la farsa y la sátira Luis Alberto Lázaro Lafuente Para gran parte de la crítica Tom Sharpe es un famoso autor de divertidas novelas en donde predomina el chiste fácil, el enredo y la farsa, más que los procedimientos retóricos y el talante propios de la sátira canónica. Frecuentemente nos encontramos con opiniones que defmen cualquiera de sus obras como «asombro• sa y disparatada farsa novelesca» (Urioste 34) o «a black comedy that securely established his reputation as a comic writer» (Midgley 7). Asimismo, en los comen• tarios de las contraportadas de sus obras, tomados de resefias literarias de conocidos periódicos británicos, entre los que se encuentranDairy Telegraph, Tribune, Guardian, Listener, Sunday Times, etc., aparecen expresiones tales como «superb farce», «boisterous knockabout farce», «a crackling, spitting, murderously funny farce», «a lusty and delightfully lunatic fantas)'», «ahighly intelligent funny book», «deliciously English comedy». Rara vez tenemos la ocasión de ver el término «sátira»; de vez en cuando oimos alguna voz que le llama «satirical farceUD>(Shrimpton 45) o define sus novelas como «the sharp mixture of comedy and cruelty, sex and satire» (Hewison 1280), pero pocos son los críticos que utilizan esta palabra para referirse a las obras de Tom Sharpe. Cabría entonces preguntarse si novelas como Riotous Assembly, Wilt o Ancestral Vices pueden ocupar un sitio dentro de la tradición satirica de la literatura inglesa, o si por el contrario hay que catalogarlas únicamente como entretenidas farsas novelescas propias de la literatura de humor. Para dar respuesta a esta pregunta, primero hay que intentar, en pocas palabras, delimitar los dominios de la sátira, empresa nada fácil que requiere una gran capacidad de síntesis y algo de audacia.

  • The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1
    The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1 Luis Alberto Lázaro Lafuente University of Alcalá Satiric novels have traditionally been regarded as a minor form by many critics and scholars. Aristotle had already referred to the satirists as "the more trivial" poets who wrote about the actions of meaner~persons, in stark contrast to the "more serious-minded" epic poets who represented noble actions and the lives of noble people (1965: 35-36). This attitude has persisted throughout many centuries in the history of English literature. Even though satire enjoyed its golden age in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially with the poetry of such distinguished writers as Dryden or Pope, satiric compositions in prose did not really achieve the same high position2• When with time the novel became a well• established genre, it was mainly naturalistic fiction and psychological stories that commonly attained a prominent status among the literary critics, whereas the comic and satiric novel, with a few exceptions, was relegated to a status of popular prose on the fringe of the canon, or even outside it. Indeed, in the twentieth century, several prestigious authors have offered a rather gloomy picture of the state of novelistic satire. Robert C. Elliott, for instance, said in 1960 that the great literary figures of this century were not "preeminently satirists" (1970: 223); and Patricia Meyer Spacks, in her artide "Some Reflections on Satire" first published in 1968, even stated that satiric novel s by authors such I Some ideas oí this paper have already appeared in my essay "El espíritu satírico en la novela británica contemporánea: Menipo redivivo", included in the volume edited by Fernando Galván Már• genes y centros en la literatura británica actual.

When gambling fails, Timothy turns to embezzlement, but it's the lesser offence of helping himself to some strangely aromatic tobacco that propels him up the motorway and into bed with the Chief Constable's wife. The Chief Constable has just survived charges of bribery and perjury and is not too concerned that his efforts to dispose of Timothy involve false imprisonment, breaking and entering, and a spot of GBH. It is only when the Chief tries to frame his old adversary, the upright Miss Midden, that things begin to go seriously wrong as his underhand ploy opens up the way to spectacular mayhem.

Tom Sharpe is an exceptional writer who isn't politically correct so if you are sensitive to this it isn't for you. The natural climax comes about three-quarters of the way through, and the resolution quickly follows; however, the tale is spun on through several more chapters, quite unnecessarily in my view. He is the author of sixteen bestselling novels, including Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, which were serialised on television, and Wilt, which was made into a film.

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.

It is one of the more surprising facts about old England that one can still find families living in the same houses their ancestors built centuries before and on land that has belonged to them since before the Norman Conquest. The Gropes of Grope Hall are one such family. A brilliantly funny novel about what happens when the women take charge. The Gropes are an old English family based in Northumberland, separated from the rest of society and as eccentric as they come. It is a line dominated by strong-willed and oversexed women, determined to produce more female heirs regardless of whether their desired partners are willing or not. At the dawn of the new millennium, tired and gormless teenager Esmond is abducted and lured to Grope Hall by a descendant of the Gropes. Young Esmond is powerless to escape, and his kidnap sets in motion a stream of farcical events that will have readers laughing out loud. Tom Sharpe’s trademark humour abounds in this new novel, marking him out once again as an outstanding storyteller. From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • A Very Peculiar Practice and Campus Comedy: 35 Years On
    A Very Peculiar Practice and campus comedy: 35 years on G Neil Martin Regent’s University London !1 Abstract On May 21st 1986, the BBC broadcast the first episode of Andrew Davies’s campus black comedy A Very Peculiar Practice. 2021 celebrates the series’ 35th anniversary. This article considers the contribution of the series to the genre of campus comedy (and “campus novel”). It considers and evaluates the themes, plots and characters introduced throughout the series and how these re- flected, and reacted to, the political backdrop and ideology of the time. Its contribution to the tradi- tion of university satire is discussed in the broader context of the campus novel, that comedy of manners in which the University, its staff, its students and its operation are satirised. !2 On May 21st, 1986, the BBC broadcast the first episode of a black comedy that was to mark a milestone in BBC drama comedy and launched the television career of one of the UK’s most prodigious adaptors of novel fiction for television and film. A Very Peculiar Practice, written by An- drew Davies, ran for two series and a special, and was a very peculiar drama in many ways but in at least two: (i) it was born of some degree of creative desperation by the author and was, there- fore, almost a serendipitous creation, and (ii) it revivified a genre of comedy (and drama) which had been dormant since at least, arguably, 1981, when the BBC (again) broadcast the television adaptation of Malcolm Bradbury’s novel, The History Man.
