How Much Period Knowledge Is Enough
Captions available
The idea
Enough to expect a sonnet sequence from the fifteen nineties, heroic couplets from the seventeen hundreds, and free verse from the nineteen twenties. That is orientation. Anything finer is scholarship, and the exam does not ask for it.
In practice
Enough to set expectations, no more.
Where people slip
Finer than that is scholarship.
