WODEHOUSE In His Own Words By Barry Day and Tony Ring Overlook. 300 pp. Paperback, $19.95 (Forthcoming in April) Some admirable people simply don't "get" P.G. Wodehouse. I concede this as incontrovertible fact, just one of those de gustibus Those who don't "get" the author of Leave It to Psmith and 90 or so other titles imagine that his books are merely silly-ass comedies roughly equivalent to, say, Barbara Cartland romances or the shopgirl tearjerkers of Rosie M. Banks (author of Only a Factory Girl and Mervyn Keene, Clubman ). Yes, Bertie Wooster is a complete idiot, as are all the members of the Drones Club, and yes, the deliciously saccharine Madeline Bassett does refer to the stars as "God's daisy chain." But these are Wodehouse's stock company, and you come to know them and Lord Emsworth and Ukridge and Florence Craye and Aunt Agatha and Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Efficient Baxter, as well as a couple of dozen Mulliners and love them all. "Plum" as Wodehouse is affectionately known (after the slurring of his first name Pelham) once called his books musical comedies without the music, yet one might also regard them as pastoral romances, Daphnis and Chloe in Edwardian England. At Blandings Castle and Market Snodbury the sun is always shining, and the lovers gambol as innocently as any shepherd and milkmaid in Theocritus or Virgil. At least, that is, until the intrigues, plots and counterplots grow so elaborate that the narrative threads can finally be untangled or tied up as the case requires only by the most gigantic brain this side of Spinoza's, that belonging to the inimitable Jeeves.

@import url("css/iereview.css"); Search WWW Search brothersjudd.com Home Reviews Links Blog ... Carry On, Jeeves Author Info: P. G. Wodehouse [Sir Pelham Grenville] It's almost impossible to write funny about humor, and anyone who writes seriously about it is doomed to come off as a fuddy duddy. E.B. White, a funny writer himself, once said that analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog, in that the thing tends to die in the process and the results will be interesting only to the purely scientific mind. -Andrew Ferguson Divine Comedy : P.G. Wodehouse's perfect pitch Two things the critics generally appear to agree on are that : (1) P. G. Wodehouse is one of the funniest writers in the English language; and, (2) it's almost impossible to explain why. Among the various authorities cited for the difficulty in analyzing humor are Evelyn Waugh and Sigmund Freud , themselves authors of hilarious fictions. Suffice it to say, and I mean this in the very best sense, the enjoyments of the Jeeves and Wooster stories are much the same as those of the great TV sitcoms. Wodehouse created these two great comic characters, surrounded them in each story with oddballs, plunked them all down in trying situations, and then had the inimitable Jeeves extract Bertie and his upper-class nitwit friends from their difficulties through various stratagems and diversions. Though Andrew Ferguson and others deny that there is any deeper meaning or political content to the stories, it is at least notable that the finest young gentlemen in all of England are hopelessly overmatched by life unless Jeeves steps in to save them. The resulting stories have a certain sameness to themof course, just try watching ten episodes of

P G Wodehouse (1881-1975) Dulwich College 1894-1900: "six years of unbroken bliss" P G Wodehouse was, perhaps, the greatest comic writer of the twentieth century. At Dulwich he excelled in Classics, sang, acted and was editor of the school magazine, The Alleynian , from 1899 to 1900. He played for both the 1st XV and 1st XI; in his last term he had published an essay called 'Some Aspects of Game Captaincy" in the Public School Magazine , for which he received a fee of half a guinea. He became a reporter on The Globe newspaper in 1902 and began to contribute school stories to The Captain , a magazine for boys. Dulwich College figures, thinly disguised, in the school novels Mike The Gold Bat The White Feather , etc. Up until the Second World War Wodehouse attended cricket and rugby matches at the College and wrote accounts of many for The Alleynian . In his later years on Long Island he regularly followed newspaper reports of games at Dulwich from the airmail edition of The Times Wodehouse is most famous for his creation of the character 'Jeeves' in 1919, and he continued to write these stories for fifty-two years. However he also produced a great many other literary works and by the time of his death had written 10 books for boys, 43 novels, 300 short stories and was author or part-author of 16 plays and 23 musical comedies. In 1937 he was awarded the 14th annual gold medal of the International Mark Twain Society. In 1974 he was made KBE.

Peter Mayer Publishers, Inc. Fans devoted to the master of comic fiction P.G. Wodehouse are legion. He represents an antic high point in the world of farce and social satire. Best known for the creation of two fictional worlds based on Blandings Castle and the Wooster-Jeeves gentleman-valet duo, Wodehouse is appreciated the world over for his exceedingly clever send-ups of the idle rich in Edwardian England. The series begins with two Wooster-Jeeves novels and one Blandings Castle novel. In The Code of the Woosters , it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves, the "gentleman's gentleman" extraordinaire, to rescue his hapless and hopelessly obtuse young employer, Bertie Wooster, from the pickle of a plot to steal a silver jug from the home of an irascible magistrate. In Right Ho, Jeeves Bertie's old friend Gussie Fink-Nottle has fallen in love and, as usual, makes a hash of the affair until Jeeves comes to his rescue. Pigs Have Wings takes us to Blandings Castle, where a romantic comedy unfolds alongside the intrigue of the Fat Pig competition in Shropshire. With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream-wove, acid-free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, these novels are elegant additions to any Wodehouse fan's library.

The Persecution of P. G. Wodehouse ROBERT A. HALL, JR. The noted Anglo-American humorist Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) led, up to 1940, a life which was professionally very active and successful, but devoid of striking or soul-shaking experiences. In that year, however, there occurred an event which changed the course of his life very drastically for the next six years, and cast a lasting, though gradually diminishing, shadow over the rest of his existence until his death on February 14, 1975. He and his wife were living semi-permanently at Le Touquet, in France. The town was captured by the Germans on May 22, 1940, and on July 21, he, with the other male aliens in Le Touquet, were sent off to internment-centers, first at Huy in Belgium and then at Tost in Upper Silesia. His internment lasted until June 21, 1941, on which date he was released (solely because he was almost sixty) and was sent to Berlin, where he was joined by his wife (who had been detained in France). Up to this point, nothing untoward had happened except the detainment itself. Soon after arriving in Berlin, however, he undertook to write and record five talks describing his experiences as British Civilian Prisoner no. 796. The talks were intended to reassure his American friends that he was well, and to give a humorous description of his experience as an internee. They were made for broadcasting to the United States, with which Germany was, at the time, not at war. They were, nevertheless, also broadcast later (without Wodehouse's having been consulted) to England. Their actual content was simply a straightforward narrative, wholly unpolitical (as can be seen by reading their actual texts

Institute for Historical Review The Persecution of P. G. Wodehouse Robert A. Hall, Jr. The noted Anglo-American humorist Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) led, up to 1940, a life which was professionally very active and successful, but devoid of striking or soul-shaking experiences.1 In that year, however, there occurred an event which changed the course of his life very drastically for the next six years, and cast a lasting, though gradually diminishing, shadow over the rest of his existence until his death on February 14, 1975.

His internment lasted until June 21, 1941, on which date he was released (solely because he was almost sixty) and was sent to Berlin, where he was joined by his wife (who had been detained in France). In England, however, the fact of his having made the broadcasts aroused a storm of indignation, much of it whipped up artificially by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the newspapers. In the B.B.C.'s defense, it must be said that its directors at first objected, but were ordered by the Government to undertake the slander-campaign against Wodehouse.4 The British public was in a state of rage against Germany because of the pounding England had been taking from the air, and were all too ready to have a scapegoat on whom to vent their anger.
