GRE Literature in English Subject Test: Tips

Here are some general things to keep in mind when you're preparing for the GRE Literature in English Subject Test. These tips come from the Princeton Review prep book for the Literature in English Subject Test.

GRE Literature in English Subject Test: Old & Middle English

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:00:00 PDT

There will be several questions on the test asking you to interpret words or passages presented in Middle English. You might even need to be familiar with a word or aspect of Old English, too (but that's less likely). Whether or not you think these questions are worth attempting is up to you. Here are a few things you should keep in mind about Middle English. 1. Middle English is very different from Modern English, but it's still recognizable as a forerunner to the language we speak. If you get a question that asks you if something was written in Old or Middle English and it's somewhat readable, chances are it's in Middle English. Old English is just about impossible for normal folks to understand. 2. Middle English spelling is crazy and chaotic (partly because English was a different language back then and partly because spelling couldn't be standardized until the introduction of the printing press). If you open your mind, sound it out, and think creatively, though, you can usually figure the words out and/or get a sense of what the passage is about. 3. That said...you just have to know some of the vocab words that are likely to show up on the test that aren't intuitive, like "ich" (which means "I"), "his" (which means "its"), "hir" (which means "their"), and "eek" (which means "also"). 4. You should "eek" know a thing or two about Middle English grammar. "Thee" is familiar and always singular, whereas "you" back then was formal and could be plural--like "tu" vs. "vous" in French. Verbs usually take "th" in the past tense, rather than "ed." i.e. people "spaketh" back then, rather than "spoke." Nouns often take "en" instead of "s." For example, "yë" (which means "eye") is "yën" (rather than "yës"). I'd recommend going through this card set once or twice and read the handy little guide at: http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:_4lP7k1q8N4J:www.csun.edu/~sk36711/WWW/Common%2520Files/megrammar.pdf+middle+english+grammar&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi0jcPHMuudC2eaMtQYwUlXeoXP-dPwmjPxQ-dksZUR0WVI7i1xSGQ3VcbHkUmrXupyODw_vmkxrjcCy0BYOhEIwVc0Dx-1W8bxQP_8kmfLaKmKlCMQgVPBE1ILt2oKngx2KM83&sig=AFQjCNGZs3Z9o3O9O30cQZoJz4sAgSa2WA to familiarize yourself with some of the key things to know about Middle English diction and syntax. But you don't need to spend too much time on this.
It's far more important familiarize yourself with as many authors and titles as you can. (See my "GRE Literature in English Subject Test" flashcards for "Authors," "Texts," and "Excerpts" for more study help in these areas.)

Match the author to the text. This info comes from the Princeton Review book, Vade Mecum (which you can find at http://www.duke.edu/~tmw15/), the Norton Anthology of English Literature, and Wikipedia. Don't think of this as comprehensive preparation. I suggest you use this, but also consult the Princeton Review, Vade Mecum, and the Norton Anthology. You want to familiarize yourself with the subject and style of as many authors as you can.
