Links

This is the (almost) obligatory list of other sites. The first set are Wodehouse societies, followed by other Wodehouse sites. Next are those I have used frequently in researching this site, either as a primary source or as a quick search to be confirmed from more traditional sources. The final set are for your interest, some going beyond the World of Wodehouse.

Wodehouse.orgUSA.
The Drones Club of BelgiumBelgium.
The Swedish Wodehouse SocietySweden.
NB: The Dutch society's page had an unwanted automatic re-direction the last time I tried it - I cannot link to it in its current condition. The Italian society's web site has not been amended for some years so is also omitted.

Other Wodehouse sites

Subject (link)What you can find there
Google Earth Wodehouse ProjectAn add-on to Google Earth with information about Wodehouse and places in his books etc. You will have to download software from the Google site to view.
A Celebration of P. G. WodehouseAs its name suggests. A number of books have annotations which go into greater depth and detail than my 'notes and quotes' (but less works are covered at present).
Madame Eulalie's rare plumsA collection of older short stories, articles and poems, small but growing. [NB: All of PG's work is under copyright protection in England and much of Europe - you are responsible for knowing how the law affects you in your country.]

Broadway TheatresA list of Broadway theatres, past and present, with seating, addresses and major stagings. (This has been revised since I first used it and although easier and quicker to use, it has much less information. Still a good starting point.)

Other sites

Subject (link)What you can find there
Victorian LondonA large set of articles about London in the days before PG started writing, but still with some relevance. And it's interesting in its own right.
Victorian and Edwardian MusicalsBased in the UK and following English copyright, so you won't find any of PG's works reproduced here, but you can hear MIDI tracks of many of the other musicals that were being performed at the time. Get a feel for his rivals and what he might have listened to.
Stage BeautyDedicated to the beautiful actresses of the Edwardian stage. It also has information on some of the plays, theatres etc of the time.
42nd Street MoonA theatre company in San Francisco that puts on old musicals, including some by Wodehouse.
Musicals TonightA theatre company in New York that puts on old musicals, including some by Wodehouse.

CricketHome page of the site listed above. For the cricket enthusiast.
BBCFollow links to sport for the play and basic rules of several sports. Useful if you're new to a particular sport but note that some rules have changed over the years.
