EN204 Examination

I sat this in November 1988 and have no recollection of the experience at all.

We had to write short notes on six passages from poetry that was provided.

From a choice of questions on Victorian Novels I chose:

Select a passage from each of Hard Times and Middlemarch which you believe to be a key passage and say why.

The last question was:

Write an essay on what is meant by non-fictional literary prose of the Victorian period and evaluate Arnold’s Culture and Anarchy as an example of it.

My notes on the paper suggest I had something to write although they make exactly zero sense to me now.

I escaped this course with my tail between my legs with a grade of 5. I had no desire to revisit Victorian literature any time soon.
