Matching Modernist Works and Authors
The idea
Sort by author. Conrad wrote Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Yeats wrote "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," "Easter 1916," "The Second Coming," "Sailing to Byzantium," "Leda and the Swan" and A Vision. Joyce wrote Dubliners, with "Araby" and "The Dead," A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Woolf wrote Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and A Room of One's Own. Lawrence wrote Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow and Women in Love. Forster wrote Howards End and A Passage to India. Eliot wrote "Prufrock," The Waste Land, Four Quartets and "Tradition and the Individual Talent." Owen wrote "Dulce et Decorum Est"; Brooke "The Soldier"; Rosenberg "Break of Day in the Trenches." Synge wrote The Playboy of the Western World; O'Casey Juno and the Paycock. Then confirm with a clue in the passage.
In practice
Author by author.
Where people slip
A Room of One's Own is Woolf's essay, and A Room with a View is Forster's novel. Similar titles, different authors.
