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, kinda true if you ask me. I would like to ask the quiz author why full names don’t work on this one.

I had the same problem and was really scratching my head, assuming there was a glitch in the quiz. I think it would be helpful to say at the top something like 'You only need to write in the surname and it will be accepted'. Otherwise it was a fun, albeit very challenging quiz (that is the second time in a JetPunk quiz I have been caught out by a question because I didn't note the difference between 'Invisible Man' and 'The Invisible Man')

Also caught by "Invisible Man" not being "The Invisible Man"

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.

This could do with common answers being accepted in all boxes. I dunno who agrees, but it gets boring typing Shakespeare every alternate box.

I did feel there were a lot of Shakespeares, often one after another, yes.

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.

Could you allow Rameau, Schlegel, Goethe, Ramler, Rousseau, Donizetti and/or Kaiser for Pygmalion?

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.
