Yup, I got The rape of Lucrece too.

In the days of google, this type of source identification task just isn't as difficult anymore.

Thanx 4 The Fish

It was a bit more difficult for me coz I didn't google, looked through my complete collection to where I thought I had remembered reading it and tad, there it was.

Those literary quizzes they put in newspapers from time to time are also far easier to answer thanks to search engines. Usually, the only questions you can't find answers for online are the ones where you have to identify photographs of writers - silly questions as the appearance of a writer has nothing to do with literature in most cases.

Cool! Those quizzes usually have good prizes too!

The only problem is that they have no contemporary writers there.
