This site contains information about texts by P. G. Wodehouse in Swedish translations.
On some of the subpages I have, at the end of the page, added a short list with translations into English of some important Swedish words .
Bengt Malmberg has written an essay about Wodehouse and Sweden which was published in Wooster Sauce sept 2013 and in Plum Lines 2014. You can find a revised version of this here: pgw-conquers-sweden.pdf
Responsible for the site is Tomas Prenkert, email: [email protected]. You are very welcome with questions, for instance about translation!
There is a "sister" homepage for Wodehouse "research" in Sweden. It contains articles, (some in english) and presentations of ongoing studies. Follow this link: http://wodehouseforskning.weebly.com/
Here follows a short summary of the contents of each subpage in the black bar on the top of this page.
