About P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters

Key Note The collected letters of England’s best-loved comic writer Key Features Quotes Published with the full cooperation of the Wodehouse family Contains new and unpublished correspondence Expertly edited by Oxford academic Sophie Ratcliffe The only volume of Wodehouse letters on the market About the Book: P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters This is the definitive edition of P. G. Wodehouse’s letters, edited with a commentary by Oxford academic Sophie Ratcliffe. The funniest and most adored writer of the twentieth century, P. G. Wodehouse always shied away from the idea of a biography-a retiring sort of chap, he expressed himself through the written word. So his letters-expertly collected and edited here-provide the best biographical accompaniment you could wish for to legendary comic creations such as Jeeves, Wooster, Psmith and the Empress of Blandings. Tapping hitherto unknown sources, these letters give an unrivalled insight into the great man, from his schooldays at Dulwich College, the family’s financial reverses which saw his hopes of university dashed, life in New York working in musical comedy alongside Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and George Gershwin, the years of fame as a novelist, and not least the strange episode in 1940 where he was interned by the Germans and accused of broadcasting pro-Nazi propaganda. It is a book every lover of Wodehouse will want to possess. About the Author: P.G. Wodehouse, Sophie Ratcliffe The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Red and Mr Mulliner, P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals including Punch and the Globe. He married in 1914. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and at one time had five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway.
