P. G. Wodehouse The Man Upstairs and Other Stories
1. THE MAN UPSTAIRS
There were three distinct stages in the evolution of Annette Brougham's attitude towards the knocking in the room above. In the beginning it had been merely a vague discomfort. Absorbed in the composition of her waltz, she had heard it almost subconsciously. The second stage set in when it became a physical pain like red-hot pincers wrenching her mind from her music. Finally, with a thrill in indignation, she knew it for what it wasan insult. The unseen brute disliked her playing, and was intimating his views with a boot-heel. Defiantly, with her foot on the loud pedal, she struckalmost slappedthe keys once more. 'Bang!' from the room above. 'Bang! Bang!' Annette rose. Her face was pink, her chin tilted. Her eyes sparkled with the light of battle. She left the room and started to mount the stairs. No spectator, however just, could have helped feeling a pang of pity for the wretched man who stood unconscious of imminent doom, possibly even triumphant, behind the door at which she was on the point of tapping. 'Come in!' cried the voice, rather a pleasant voice; but what is a pleasant voice if the soul be vile?

(Incidentally, it's pronounced 'Woodhouse')
What can you say about this guy? What can't you say? There have been few writers in the history of written English who can manipulate the language like Wodehouse can. This guy is a true master, gifted with language as Mozart was gifted with music. Let's see what some other people have had to say about Wodehouse.
Dr. Glynn Baugher: "P.G. Wodehouse [is] a master of diction and clarity of style. If you want to take the slower route to enriching your reading vocabulary, you could not do better than to read the ninety-seven (at least) books by Wodehouse. Along the way you would relate vocabulary to good prose style, for his is one of the most varied, lively, and imaginative of English prose styles. And your health would be better for all the laughter: I know of no funnier writer when he is at his best, and the list of his best runs to about thirty books."
Okay, at the moment I cannot find any other useful things that people have said about Wodehouse. As this is only one page on the site, I cannot dedicate the appropriate amount of time to research what I would need to make this a page worthy of the man. I can't even find a bloody picture! The Usenet fan group was no help at all. The only picture I could find from them was one of Wodehouse's grave! Some fan club. All of my Wodehouse books, for some inexplicable reason, are conspicuously devoid of anything remotely resembling reviews or quotes. They are all just stories, from cover to cover. So this is what there is otherwise, as in the down and dirty.

by Bamber Gascoigne
Sir P(elham) G(renville) Wodehouse (1881-1975) Prolific English comic novelist, short story writer, lyricist and playwright, best known as the creator of Jeeves, the perfect "gentleman's gentleman," Bertie Wooster of the Drones Club, a young bachelor aristocrat, and the absentminded Lord Emsworth of the Blandings Castle. Most of Wodehouse's works gently parodied the British aristocracy of the 1920s and 1930s. After World War II Wodehouse lived in the United States. During the decades, Wodehouse's picture of Edwardian England gradually disengaged from reality, and became an imaginary land which was untouched by time. As a prose stylist Wodehouse praised by such writers as Hilaire Bellock and Evelyn Waugh. " One great advantage in being a historian to a man like Jeeves is that his mere personality prevents one selling one's artistic soul for gold. In recent years I have had lucrative offers for his services from theatrical managers, motion-picture magnates, the proprietors of one or two widely advertised commodities, and even the editor of the comic supplement of an American newspaper, who wanted him for a "comic strip". But, tempting though the terms were, it only needed Jeeves deprecating cough and his murmured "I would scarcely advocate it, sir," to put the jack under my better nature. Jeeves knows his place, and it is between the covers of a book.

Standing Up For Your Right to Get Falling Down Drunk Since 1996 Home Archives Subscribe Merchandise ... 40 Things During his long life (he died, working until the end, in 1975 aged 93), Wodehouse was prodigiously prolific: turning out more than 100 novels and 300 short stories, as well as innumerable plays, articles and song lyrics. It would nearly take one longer to read the collected oeuvre than it took Wodehouse to write them. In a sort of concordance called Wodehouse Nuggets "Insidious things (mint juleps). They creep up on you like a baby sister and slide their little hands into yours and the next thing you know the Judge is telling you to pay the clerk of the court $50.” "If you want real oratory, the preliminary noggin is essential. Unless pie-eyed, you cannot hope to grip.” "The barman recommended a ‘lightning whizzer’, an invention of his own. He said it was what rabbits trained on when they were matched against grizzly bears and there was only one instance on record of the bear having lasted three rounds.”

P.G. Wodehouse
Profile
Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was a prolific and extremely popular writer of humorous novels. Wodehouse was the son of a Hong Kong civil servant, who retired through ill health and returned to England, firstly to Dulwich and then to Hay's House, Stableford in Shropshire. Young P. G. Wodehouse, although educated away from home at boarding school returned to Stableford for his holidays and grew to know the district well between the ages of fourteen and twenty one (when the family moved again to Cheltenham). He retained a great affection for the county, particularly the area around Stableford, which is a few miles from Bridgnorth, and it was to become one of the major sources for composite settings in the novels, together with Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Wiltshire. Wodehouse's last, unfinished novel was Sunset at Blandings which Richard Usborne edited in 1978 after the author's death. Usborne followed up all references to Shropshire in the various Wodehouse novels, but especially this last one, and consulted contemporary railway timetables to see if fictional journeys could actually have been made. All this was in an effort to identify and locate the original of Blandings Castle. Usborne's conclusion was that it must be Buildwas , a mile or so up the Severn from Ironbridge.

Magazine Published on Sundays Features: Magazine Literary Review Life Metro Plus ... Magazine Wodehousian magic The popularity of P.G. Wodehouse among Indians is two-fold. One, his readers do not have to identify with any of his characters. Two, his insidious but good-humoured subversion of the language, conducted with straight-faced aplomb, appeals most of all to a people who have acquired English but rebel against its heritage. VALENTINE'S Day has just passed. Twenty-seven Valentine's Days ago, I was sitting in my college room at Delhi University when All India Radio announced that P.G. Wodehouse had died. It was a typically sunny February afternoon in Delhi, but I felt a cloud of impenetrable darkness. The newly (and belatedly) knighted Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and of the prize pig the Empress of Blandings, was in his 94th year; yet his death still came as a shock. Three decades earlier, Wodehouse had reacted to the passing of his stepdaughter, Leonora, with the numbed words: "I thought she was immortal." I had thought Wodehouse was immortal too, and I felt the bereavement keenly.
Wodehouse with his wife Ethel ... a world of erudite butlers, absent-minded earls and silly artistocrats.

    Wodehouse, P. G.
    Wodehouse, P. G. (Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse) key The Inimitable Jeeves Bertie Wooster Sees It Through (1955), and Much Obliged, Jeeves (1971). Early in his career, Wodehouse was also a lyricist, writing some 400 songs, more than half of them in collaboration with Jerome Kern , and contributing to the books of several musicals by other composers, including Anything Goes (1934). In all, the prolific author wrote 96 novels, 18 plays, and the lyrics for 33 musicals. In 1941, while he was a prisoner of the Germans, he made five nonpolitical broadcasts for his captors, provoking considerable criticism at home. Wodehouse, who from 1910 on had lived for long periods in the United States or France, immigrated to the United States in 1947, settled on Long Island, N.Y., and became an American citizen in 1955. He was knighted shortly before his death in 1975.

P. G. Wodehouse
  • Every author really wants to have letters printed in the papers. Unable to make the grade, he drops down a rung of the ladder and writes novels. Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well. Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good. He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say "when!" He was built on large lines, and seemed to fill the room to overflowing. In physique he was not unlike what Primo Carnera would have been if Carnera hadn't stunted his growth by smoking cigarettes when a boy. He was white and shaken, like a dry martini. I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

A lthough it is shocking to report, candor requires that I begin by acknowledging that it was not until 1982, when I was in my late twenties, that I first acquainted myself with the sublime work of Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. I remember the occasion vividly. I was recovering from the effects of oral surgery after a botched root canal. Thanks to some tablets prescribed by my doctor, I passed a few days lying on a sofa in a not unpleasant sort of semi-coma, almost forgetting the excavation site on the gum above my abused molar. Leafing through The Times Literary Supplement It was (as Wodehouse himself might have put it) the work of a moment to nip down to the local bookstore, pick up a volume or two, and nip back to my bed of modified woe. Anyone inclined to doubt the workings of Providence should attend closely to what happened next. Of the dozens of Wodehouse titles available, the one I first opened was Carry On, Jeeves

His name, when he died, would not live for ever in England's annals; he was spared the pain of worrying about this by the fact that he had no desire to live for ever in England's annals. He was possibly as nearly contented a human being can be in this century of alarms and excursions.

In Defence of P. G. Wodehouse
by George Orwell
The Windmill , July 1945
W HEN Saturday Evening Post an article which he had written while still in the internment camp. Daily Mirror Daily Mirror Daily Mirror When The Gold Bat The Pothunters , etc and has its high-spot in Mike Psmith in the City , published in the following year, belongs in this category, though it is not directly concerned with school life. The next is the American period. Wodehouse seems to have lived in the United States from about 1913 to 1920, and for a while showed signs of becoming americanised in idiom and outlook. Some of the stories in The Man with Two Left Feet in propria persona Psmith Journalist The Little Nugget The Indiscretions of Archie Piccadilly Jim contrast between English and American manners. English characters appear in an American setting, or vice versa: there is a certain number of purely English stories, but hardly any purely American ones. The third period might fitly be called the country-house period. By the early nineteen-twenties Wodehouse must have been making a very large income, and the social status of his characters moved upwards accordingly, though the Ukridge stories form a partial exception. The typical setting is now a country mansion, a luxurious bachelor flat or an expensive golf club. The schoolboy athleticism of the earlier books fades out, cricket and football giving way to golf, and the element of farce and burlesque becomes more marked. No doubt many of the later books, such as
