'Modern literature is more relevant to the 20th century than the classics. Discuss.' As exams reach fever pitch Hunter Davies tackles this question with the help of authors whose books are set for GCE exams. Richard Adams, Malcolm Bradbury, Keith Waterhouse, Arnold Wesker and Ngugi wa Thiong'o put their point of view and are graded by a teacher and an examiner.
