The 20th Century and After

You can use this suggested Study Plan as a guide to the online materials. Check all that apply:

1. Read the period introduction in your copy of The Norton Anthology of English Literature.
2. To better understand and retain the material in the anthology period introduction, read the Period Introduction Overview.
3. Review the Timeline.
4. Take the Period Introduction Quiz. Pay particular attention to the feedback given for wrong answers and consider re-reading parts of the introduction that you may not have fully understood.
5. Use the Reading Comprehension Quizzes to gauge how well you've understood some of the most widely taught stories, poems, and plays in the Anthology. Each question offers detailed feedback that will help you improve your close-reading skills.
6. Use the flashcards to brush up on Literary Terminology.
7. Explore the Images section to visit Literary Places and view Author Portraits and Maps.

8. Additional comments or issues to report:

9. Please note that because there are hundreds of works in the anthology, we do not offer a quiz for each one. We regularly survey instructors about which works they teach most often and use that information to create our quiz lists for each period. Short answer questions and other review materials are available in our free coursepacks for instructors. Please visit wwnorton.com/instructors for details.
