Great one! second time around–nine out of ten
9/10. I got The Darkling Thrush wrong. Great quiz . It makes me want to pick up a poetry book.
Well done! Yes – Hardy is nothing like as well known as a poet as he is as a novelist, but I have long reckoned that he was in the top rank of English poets.
Only got 4.
Tried this one again and got 6 correct!
7 right. Nicely done!
You got 4 out of 10 right!
