mystified Wrote:I did some research and the Complete Idiot's Guide to American Literature seems to be what is recommended for this cleo. I am almost through with it and so I decided to take one of the Peterson exams and there were questions quoting passages where you were supposed to know the author. Obviously this book doesn't go into that much detail. Can anybody provide me with some good feedback regarding this test? Thanks>>
I used only the Idiot's Guide (not IC) and passed! Once you get into the last 1/3 of that book, it goes too fast- there are TONS of modern authors and no way to learn them all. Focus on the first 2/3 of the book and browse the last 1/3.
