Could you accept Beowulf poet, or Anglo-Saxon poet instead of "unknown"? (A case could probably be made for John Green as well.)

Agree, Camus wrote the Stranger, please allow 'Anon' for Beowulf. Good quiz!

I wasted a lot of time putting in the full name of some of the authors and getting totally flummoxed by the quiz not accepting the answer!

Yeah, Camus for "The Stranger." It's also a Billy Joel song....

As well as "Brave New World" is an Iron Maiden Song and "Wuthering Heights" is a song by Kate Bush? (I don't get the part about the song...)

I think you should accept the spelling of 'Dostoevsky' ; that's the way it reads on the spine of my book "The Brothers Karamazov"! I also think Albert Camus should be accepted for "The Stranger", see other comments herein regarding that one.

Dostoevsky is the correct spelling, not Dostoyevsky

Fun quiz, but definitely should show full names as the answers (and accept either full names or last names only). Also Beowulf should be filled in from the start or just left off of the quiz entirely. I saw it and thought, "I didn't think it had a known author," but assumed it must if it was in this quiz, so I didn't even make a guess.

The quiz came from a list meant for quiz bowl practice in which only last names are required

Oh, man! I wrote Aeschyllus. With two 'l's. And surprised Boccaccio is guessed so low. Maybe it's the first two 'c's.

I kept putting Wells for Invisible Man as that is more widely known as "literature." While I am sure that the Ellison novel is a great piece of literature, as well, I was never assigned the novel as an English Lit major.
