The Writers This Course Teaches by Description

The idea
Works first published from nineteen thirty-one on are still in copyright, so this course describes them rather than quoting them: Auden, Orwell, Beckett, Larkin, Heaney, the Booker novelists and the postcolonial writers. The exam does the same, naming recent works and describing them.
In practice
Described, not quoted.
Where people slip
Expect description questions on recent works.
