Part I: Passage Identification
Identify the author (2 points), title (2 point), and era (1 point) of 5 (out of 7) passages. All information (first and last names) must be spelled correctly to receive full credit. (25 points)
Part II: Short Essays
After you note author, title and era, you will be asked to respond in essay form to a few short questions about the 3 passages identified. In addition to addressing the text itself, you will be asked to define, employ, and otherwise draw upon, the literary terms that you have learned so far this semester: a list of terms can be found below but look for it to be finalized after we finish our discussion of Northanger Abbey (75 points).
The questions will vary from passage to passage, but you should keep in mind that your answers should demonstrate your specific knowledge of a particular work, as well as your general knowledge of eighteenth-century and Romantic literature. It may be the case that you will be asked to draw connections across the two periods.
Support your assertions in your short responses with references to the passage in question, as well as other pertinent material.
Among other things, you should not neglect significant images, sound devices, metaphors, and/or thematic links to other passages from the same work or other pertinent works.
DO NOT WRITE ON THE SAME WORK or AUTHOR TWICE. You must write on at least one EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY WRITER and one ROMANTIC WRITER.
Literary Terms: heroic couplet, parallelism, anaphora, antithesis, apostrophe, alliteration, the sublime and the beautiful, and ode (regular and irregular); direct address, indirect discourse, direct discourse; free indirect discourse
Please bring a blue book or green book to the exam.
