	William Golding was a famous alumnus of Brasenose College, Oxford. He neither studied nor taught at Cambridge

	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.

	Actually, The Principia Mathematica was written by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, and was published nearly 200 years after the death of Newton (who had nothing to do with it- other than general influence, of course). Newton's work with a similar title is called Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (sometimes referred to as simply "the Principia," which is why some get these confused. They are separate works, however).
