We have lots of literature quizzes for you to test your knowledge in this area.
Drama, novels or poetry: literature is an enormous subject area and there are endless possibilities for quiz questions: on individual works, on authors, on bestsellers. The literature archive will gradually grow. Check back from time to time to stay up to date!
What can you expect from the literature quiz?
On Quizworld you will find questions and answers on individual famous works of literary history. For example, “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare or “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang Goethe are ideal for individual quizzes. Trainees, for example, can use them to test or check their knowledge.
In addition to the classics, there are also many quiz questions on modern literary figures such as John Irving, Sebastian Fitzek and Stephanie Meyer. Their bestsellers spent weeks on the charts in various countries. If you want to answer these quiz questions correctly, you usually need expert knowledge.
We also present you with many overviews on the subject of literature. For example, we have put together questions about some of the most important detectives in the history of literature: Sherlock Holmes, Miss Maple or Inspector Maigret will certainly be familiar to you. We also look at genres such as fairy tales. Various quizzes about the history of literature, individual authors or characters await you!
Who is a literature quiz suitable for?
If you want to get an overview of how good your knowledge of literary history is, then you’ve come to the right place. We would only recommend some quizzes, for example those that deal with a single literary figure, if you have also read their works.
The different levels of difficulty may also be of interest to you. Depending on how you assess your level of knowledge, you can decide and/or be challenged.
In other literature quizzes, what counts is whether you have perhaps heard the right answer before or remember it from literature lessons at school. You may know the title of a world-famous book or the person who wrote it without ever having read it or held it in your hand. Have fun with the quiz!
