This quiz presents a brief and obviously incomplete survey of American literature in the third decade of the 20th Century or more precisely, January 1, 1921 through December 31, 1930. In this decade we cover writers who are best known as novelists, poets, and playwrights, with the question mix tilting to the novelists. For most of the questions you are asked to select the writer from the information provided. Some of the great authors of the relevant period are so well known that I have represented them in other ways. For instance, you will be asked a question relating to one of Hemingway's two great novels of the 1920s, "A Farewell to Arms", and the original dust jacket from this novel is featured in the image introducing this quiz. Sources: Perkins, Perkins, and Leininger, eds., "Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature" (1991, Harper Collins), and Wikkipedia, the on-line encyclopedia.
