Bands That Cut Across

Captions available

The idea

The exam weights by tradition as well as by period and genre. British and postcolonial writing carries forty to fifty percent, American the same, and works in translation three to ten. A single passage counts in several bands at once, which unit one established.

In practice

Tradition bands cross the period ones.

Where people slip

One passage counts several times.
