![]() A collection of short stories, My Man Jeeves was first published in the UK in May 1919. He used a mixture of Edwardian slang, quotations from and allusions to numerous poets, and several literary techniques to produce a prose style that has been compared to comic poetry and musical comedy. Early in his career Wodehouse would produce a novel in about three months, but he slowed in old age to around six months. One of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century, Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse created several characters who became familiar in early 20th century England, including the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves.
