P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories — featuring the supremely competent manservant Jeeves and his hapless employer Bertie Wooster — the definitive comic depiction of the English upper class of the Edwardian and interwar period — one of the great comic creations in English literature.
Creates the definitive comic portrait of English class comedy — Jeeves's unflappable competence contrasted with Bertie's cheerful incompetence, the Drones Club, Aunt Agatha, and Blandings Castle constitute the richest comedy of class and manners in English literature — and Wodehouse's prose style (described by Evelyn Waugh as perfect) represents the finest comic English writing.
