Nice quiz, but I recommend changing the title to "British Isles Literature" or something of the sort.

I like it! Nominated. Not sure why you've put in only one of J.R.R. Tolkien's middle names though.

Seriously! It's really weird to do so since it's always listed as JRR Tolkien. Could really do with a change!

James Joyce was Irish, not British. Glaring error, I'm afraid.

No mention of Enid Blyton, one of the most prolific children's writers of the 20th century.

Many authors are not in this quiz, of course. It would be too "heavy" otherwise

Doing it again, I wonder if it wants a yellow box? I got Keats and Byron for free, sort of.

Why has this not been featured yet?
