British Literature Quizzes & Trivia

As Winston Churchill once said "Now is the time for all men to come to the aid of the party." And why is he in here? Because he was a writer before he was a prime minister! Another famous writer? J.K. Rowling!

But how much do you know about the writers of the island over the pond? Can you answer questions about the works of Shakespeare, or are you thinking that maybe Harry Potter is more your thing?

Do you know your Union Jack from your civil unions? Well, now is the time for you to come to the party then!

Sample Question
How do you feel about love, women, and romantic relationships?

A man is only worth the love and devotion he can show to a woman—well, so long as she happens to be beautiful.

I love women in general, but they are usually too uptight and are always playing hard to get.

Marriage is a useful social construct and, of course, necessary for propagation of the species.

Love is a beautiful emotional and spiritual connection, governed by the mysterious and tempestuous feelings of the human heart.

The love between a man and a woman may just be the only solace a person can have in this gloomy, uncertain world. . . . maybe.

"Love" is just a psychological or even chemical desire that those who cannot bear to brave this world alone cling to; marriage is a tyrannical social imposition -- we mustn't fool ourselves into believing the illusion that there can be any truth, meaning, or permanence in a mere physical attraction.
