Good news for Wodehouse fans! Wodehouse scholar (and vice chairman of The P G Wodehouse Society [UK]) Paul Kent has recently published another book in his series examining Plum\u2019s evolution into the literary supremacy that earned him the accolade of \u201cThe Master\u201d from fellow writers.<\/p>\n
The series\u2014simply entitled Pelham Grenville Wodehouse<\/em>\u2014was intended to be a trilogy. Volume 1, \u201cThis is jolly old Fame<\/em>,\u201d was published in 2019. It was followed by Volume 2, \u201cMid-Season Form<\/em>,\u201d in 2020, and finally by Volume 3, \u201cThe Happiness of the World<\/em>,\u201d in 2022. But Paul couldn\u2019t let it go there. Churning around at the back of his always-busy brain was the thought that he hadn\u2019t yet taken a close look at all the other writers, both predecessors and peers, who had influenced Wodehouse\u2019s writing in one way or another.<\/p>\n He has rectified that omission with Plum\u2019s Literary Heroes<\/em>, a thoroughly enjoyable look at those early influencers. The book is divided into two parts\u2014\u201cWodehouse Among His Books\u201d and \u201cBeing a Writer\u201d\u2014in which Paul provides thoughtful insight into the authors who played major roles in PGW\u2019s development as a writer and humorist par excellence.<\/p>\n Plum\u2019s Literary Heroes<\/em> is available in paperback for \u00a314.99 directly from the publisher, TSB, via their website dedicated to works by Paul Kent, The What Ho! Club<\/a>. While you\u2019re there, be sure to check out his other publications. For those in the U.S., you can order the book for $19.95 from Indie Pubs<\/a>. Paul’s works are also available through other online retailers such as Amazon<\/a>, where it is listed for $19.95.<\/p>\n Thank you, Paul, for your ongoing contributions to Wodehouse scholarship!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good news for Wodehouse fans!
