The idea
Characterising a century is an interpretation, and decision D6 applies to periods as much as to poems. Writers of the same decade disagree with each other. The expectations in this unit are offered as habits to notice, not as rules the writers obeyed.
In practice
Habits to notice, not rules obeyed.
Where people slip
Decision D6 applies to periods too.
