Blandings Castle kokkuvõte
the title of his autobiography. Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle
novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who
was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical
comedies.
Wodehouse took a modest attitude to his own works. In Over Seventy (1957) he
wrote:
"I go in for what is known in the trade as 'light writing' and those who do that
humorists they are sometimes called are looked down upon by the intelligentsia and
sneered at."
Wodehouse's characters are often eccentric, with peculiar attachments, such as to
newts (Gussie Fink-Nottle) or socks (Archibald Mulliner). His "mentally negligible"
good-natured characters invariably make their lot worse by their half-witted (if that)
schemes to improve a bad situation.
Wodehouse's aristocrats, however, embody many of the comic attributes that
characterize buffoons created by a genius
