Wodehouse was prolific throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.
