| While Cambridge-educated Newton did write a book called "PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica", the title "Principia Mathematica" more commonly refers to the book by Alfred Lord Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, also both Cambridge-educated. They should be accepted as alternate answers. |

| Thanx Tahnan. I must admit though I'd never heard of Whitehead before your comment. |

| Can you modify the Russell answer to "Newton or Russell" since they are equally correct? |

| @Koltrane: I guess you're not referring to 'Alice' ! I think that had a lot to do with the age that a lot of these writers lived in. Hopefully things are changing for the better. @gretabeth. Please see Tahnan's comment Dec 5th. (both answers are accepted) |

| And here I was, seeing "Literary Scholars" as the title of a quiz and thinking I would finally get to use Harold Bloom as an answer on Sporcle... |

| I could not for the LIFE of me remember the name of the person who wrote Walden. My English degree should be revoked. Actually, for that matter, so should my high school diploma. |

| Good quiz, but I typed Newton and that worked so joint credit for Russell and Newton, please. |
