P. G. Wodehouse: A Novel Man

P. G. Wodehouse, with his subtle yet distinctive humor, has remained steadfastly popular, even in the face of a host of commonly held misconceptions. Whether it is the simple error that Jeeves was Bertie Wooster's butler or the way in which the nature of Jeeves and Bertie's relationship is so often misconstrued, these misinterpretations often result in the loss of much of the stories' rich comedic complexity. This careful examination of the work and private life of Wodehouse offers a fuller understanding of the man and novelist.
