Assess students' ability to recall the original publication years (first editions, not later translations or revisions) of canonical modernist literary works—covering major anglophone and European novels, poems, and plays from c. 1900–1945 by authors such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka, William Faulkner, and Samuel Beckett; this quiz emphasizes straightforward factual memory of dates.
