The Inimitable Jeeves. The Inimitable Jeeves is a semi-novel collecting Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom by Herbert Jenkins, London, on 17 May 1923 and in the United States by George H. Doran, New York, on 28 September 1923, under the title Jeeves.
When did P G Wodehouse write The Inimitable Jeeves?
The Inimitable Jeeves (1923) is the first full-length book completely devoted to Jeeves and Wooster (My Man Jeeves, only half Jeeves, featured the proto-Wooster Reggie Pepper), and my sense is that neither the gentleman’s gentleman, nor his gentleman, has reached perfection here.
Is the Inimitable Jeeves and Wooster a novel?
Some of the stories are too similar in plot, and the overall narrative does not increase in hilarity, as the Jeeve’s novels customarily do. All this is completely excusable in a story collection, but The Inimitable claims to be a novel. Still it is Jeeves and Wooster, and it is funny.
When did the second collection of Jeeves stories come out?
All the other stories appeared in Cosmopolitan in the US between December 1921 and December 1922. This was the second collection of Jeeves stories, after My Man Jeeves (1919); the next collection would be Carry On, Jeeves, in 1925.
