Full text of the public domain short stories
Madame Eulalie - An immensely thorough resource of just about all the public domain Wodehouse material that has ever existed on planet Earth. Also the source of the images used in the emails, and contains various annotations.
List of Story Abbreviations - While the Holmes and Raffles stories have something of a history of title abbreviations, the Jeeves stories do not. So as someone who loves abbreviations, and thinks many of the short story names are absolute whacking mouthfuls, I’ve endeavored to make some abbreviations myself. No idea if they’ll catch on, but if you’d like to use them, feel free!
Content Warnings - admittedly brief but hopefully enough to serve, at the very least, as a start
Big List of Wodehouse Adaptations - Jeeves as seen on TV, heard on radio, and all sort of other places - as well as adaptations of Wodehouse’s other well-known series
Once the Jeeves Substack runs its course for the year, I’m feeling inclined to transform it into another Substack representing other Wodehouse media. Four more Jeeves stories will be in public domain by then, so I will of course run those, but I will also showcase as much as I can of Wodehouse’s other particularly enduring characters: the Ukridge series (concerning the adventures of Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, his ill-fated get-rich-quick schemes, and his long-suffering friend and biographer James “Corky” Corcoran), the Psmith series (concerning the adventures of the eccentric, unflappable, prominently monocled Rupert/Ronald Psmith and his “comrade” Mike Jackson, from public school to young adulthood), and the Blandings Castle series (concerning the ditzy, pig-loving Lord Emsworth, his family, and the goings-on at the titular location). So make sure to stay on, even past the year’s end!
And of course, if you like this Substack, consider this my blanket recommendation to read more Wodehouse. There are eleven more novels of Jeeves alone, as well as a few more short stories, plus an absolutely staggering body of work featuring other characters. There are stories centered on other Jeeves characters, such as Bingo Little, Bobbie Wickham, and various members of the Drones Club. There are the Reggie Pepper stories, about the character who served as a prototype for Bertie Wooster. And even if you read everything mentioned above, well trust me - that’s not even the half of it. You’ve got plenty of Wodehouse to enjoy.
