Within the Twentieth Century Western literary canon, P. G. Wodehouse and Gertrude Stein are keenly antithetical. With vastly different readerships, circulation, and influence, Stein was an artist deeply embedded in the European avant-garde, while Wodehouse was rooted in Anglo-American popular fiction. As Stein鈥檚 experimental modernism sought to redefine the abstract possibilities of language and narrative, Wodehouse鈥檚 comedies preserved and indulged in a world of aristocratic farce. Yet despite their differences, Wodehouse and Stein did share a zealousness for distorting language and linguistic forms with repetition and rhythm, the common and the cliched.
