Literature by Era Trivia Questions

Literature of the 1940s

3. What novel's title comes from William Shakespeare's "Richard III"?

From Quiz Best Sellers of the 1960s #2

From Quiz Best Sellers of the 1960s #1

Answer: A Nation of Sheep

William Lederer had collaborated with Eugene Burdick on various books, including "The Ugly American" (1958). His 1961 study, "A Nation of Sheep" concludes that when people are not informed thoroughly about their government's foreign policies and objectives, the effect becomes hypnotic, and the people as a result may turn to passive behavior since they are unable to make sound decisions on their own behalf. This book looks at events involving Laos, Thailand, Formosa, Korea, and other international trouble spots to show that there is a high level of misinformation which make accurate understanding and action difficult for the public.

5. Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking 1906 book, "The Jungle", was primarily about which industry?

From Quiz Groundbreaking Books of the 20th Century

6. What 1st century BC poet and author of "The Aeneid" serves as a guide in Dante's "Inferno"?

From Quiz 25 Centuries of Literature

Answer: Sinclair Lewis

The 1920s were Lewis' classic period; in addition to "Main Street", which made him an overnight success and rich, he wrote "Babbit" (1922), "Arrowsmith" (1925) for which he received a Pulitzer Prize but refused, "Elmer Gantry" (1927) that raised the ire of church leaders, and "Dodsworth" (1929) that culminated in the Nobel Prize for his body of work. "Main Street" was based on Lewis' home town of Sauk Centre, Minnesota in which he depicted in this satirical novel the pettiness and hypocrisy of the mid-western town through the eyes of a big city woman married to a small town doctor. Lewis suffered from alcoholism which was contributing factor in his death at sixty-five in 1951.

Truman Capote (nee Truman Persons) spent summers near to the Lee family just as Dill did in the book. In adult life, Lee assisted Capote in his research in writing "In Cold Blood" (1966).

James Jones brought his World War Two experience to his novel and soared to the top of the USA best seller list. Jones' novel was part one of a trilogy that included "The Thin Red Line" and "The Whistle". Jones spent part of his earnings to establish an unsuccessful writer's colony in Marshall, Illinois. Wouk's "Caine Mutiny" ranked second in sales to "Eternity". "The Cruel Sea" dealt with the British fleet during World War Two in the North Atlantic. A war hero is accused of crimes in Marquard's "Melville Goodwin, USA".

22. Which book title is part of a series whose title names small mammals with long ears and short tails? This group of novels describes the development of one special character and also pinpoints cultural problems in American society.

From Quiz Best Sellers of the 1960s #2

Answer: Rabbit, Run

This novel is the first novel of a series of books dealing with Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. John Updike wrote "Rabbit, Run," "Rabbit Redux, "Rabbit Is Rich," "Rabbit At Rest" and, then, later, in 2000, a novella called "Rabbit Remembered." These books are an interesting study of the cultural world that Updike perceives. The following Updike remark in his own words shows the intricacy of his cultural critique. He observes, "America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy."

23. What is this international, posthumously published, novel which takes place in the time of the Italian reunification with Sicily?

From Quiz Best Sellers of the 1960s #1

Answer: The Leopard

Giuseppe Di Lampedusa wrote only one novel, his classic 1961 novel, "The Leopard". Interestingly, he never saw in print what is called one of the greatest novels written in the 20th century. The novel deals with an Italian aristocrat, trying to understand the changes overcoming the world he had known. Don Fabrizio rejects change and finds comfort in astronomy, among other things. Readers have called this book "one of the great lonely books" and, to a person, have praised its terse and evocative writing style.

24. The 1920 book "Main Street" focused on the hypocrisy and shallowness of small town life in the U.S. Who was the author of this groundbreaking work?

From Quiz Groundbreaking Books of the 20th Century

Answer: Sinclair Lewis

The novel is said to be based on Lewis' hometown of Sauk Centre, Minnesota. After the novel came out, Sauk Centre was at first unhappy with how it was depicted. However, the town has since embraced Lewis, and his boyhood home is now open for visitors to tour. During the 1920s Lewis also published "Babbitt", "Arrowsmith", "Elmer Gantry", and "Dodsworth", resulting in his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, the first American to be so honored.

25. This novel stirred up quite a controversy when it was published in 1955. Humbert Humbert, a man in his late thirties, falls passionately in love with a very young girl. The book was written by Vladimir Nabokov; what's the title?

From Quiz Read Any Good Books Lately? Here are a Few...

Answer: Lolita

Nabokov had trouble finding a publisher for his book, as the subject matter was so controversial. The book's heroine, Lolita, was twelve years old when Humbert first saw her and became immediately obsessed with her. Many people were troubled by the book's theme. But the critical reception was so favorable, the author's writing so brilliant, that it was accepted and became a best-seller. "Lolita" has become one of the most admired and critically praised novels of the 20th century. Vladimir Nabokov was born in 1899 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the son of an important politician. When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, his father was thrown into prison, and the family went into exile in Europe. In 1922, young Vladimir's father was murdered as he attempted to defend a political opponent from an assassin. Nabokov began his writing career in Europe, and eventually he came to the United States, where he lectured and taught at various universities. He published many distinguished novels including the three listed as incorrect options, critical works and translations, and his wonderful autobiography "Speak, Memory" in 1967. He was also a noted lepidopterist. He died in Montreux, Switzerland on July 2, 1977.
