英国文学史发展历程
英国文学源远流长，经历了长期、复杂的发展演变过程。
在这个过程中，文学本体以外的各种现实的、历史的、政治的、文化的力量对文学发生着影响，文学内部遵循自身规律，历经盎格鲁-撒克逊、文艺复兴、新古典主义、浪漫主义、现实主义、现代主义等不同历史阶段。
下面对英国文学的发展过程作一概述。
一、中世纪文学（约5世纪-1485）英国最初的文学同其他国家最初的文学一样，不是书面的，而是口头的。
故事与传说口头流传，并在讲述中不断得到加工、扩展，最后才有写本。
公元5世纪中叶，盎格鲁、撒克逊、朱特三个日耳曼部落开始从丹麦以及现在的荷兰一带地区迁入不列颠。
盎格鲁-撒克逊时代给我们留下的古英语文学作品中，最重要的一部是《贝奥武甫》（Beowu lf），它被认为是英国的民族史诗。
《贝奥武甫》讲述主人公贝尔武甫斩妖除魔、与火龙搏斗的故事，具有神话传奇色彩。
这部作品取材于日耳曼民间传说，随盎格鲁-撒克逊人入侵传入今天的英国，现在我们所看到的诗是8世纪初由英格兰诗人写定的，当时，不列颠正处于从中世纪异教社会向以基督教文化为主导的新型社会过渡的时期。
因此，《贝奥武甫》也反映了7、8世纪不列颠的生活风貌，呈现出新旧生活方式的混合，兼有氏族时期的英雄主义和封建时期的理想，体现了非基督教日耳曼文化和基督教文化两种不同的传统。
公元1066年，居住在法国北部的诺曼底人在威廉公爵率领下越过英吉利海峡，征服英格兰。
诺曼底人占领英格兰后，封建等级制度得以加强和完备，法国文化占据主导地位，法语成为宫廷和上层贵族社会的语言。
这一时期风行一时的文学形式是浪漫传奇，流传最广的是关于亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的故事。

英国文学史不同时期概要
.Give a brief account of British literature in the romantic period, the Victorian age and the twentieth century. (30)The romantic periodBritain is one of the earliest countries that emerges romantic literature. The British romantic literature represents the highest achievement of the Europe romantic literature in the early 19th. The internal thought of the British romantic literature is complicated. There were supernaturalism of Coleridge, legitimism of Wordsworth, Spiritualism of Shelley, and liberalism of Byron and so on.The French Revolution brought human hope and also brought a shock to Britain society. In this background, the British romantic literature rose. It produced in the late 18th and became prosperous in the 19th.The pioneers of the romantic literature were Robert Burns and William Blake. The representative works of them were Poems, chiefly in Scottish dialect and Songs of Innocence.There were two opposing schools in the formation of the romanticism thoughts----active romanticism and passive romanticism. Active romanticism is the progressive trend. It dares to face the reality, criticize the social darkness and it leads people to look ahead. Passive romanticism is the reactionary trend. It rises against the status quo; yearn for the pas and leads people look back. William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey are called “the Lake Poet”. They are the representative personage of the passive romanticism. They hold the contradictory attitude towards the French Revolution and detest industrial civilization and urban civilization of capitalism.They sing the praises of the rural life and nature of patriarchal clan system. Their representative works are Tintern Abbey,Kubla Khan and so on. Byron, Shelley and Keats are the representative personage of active romanticism. The difference from the Lake Poet is its works have combat consciousness and political bias. Their representative works are She Walks in Beauty, Ode to the West Wind, Ode to a Nightingale and and so on.The novel of the romantic period mainly has two types: gothic novel and historical novel. Wolf Scott is the representative personage of the gothic novel. Hedevotes to gathering and sorting out historical legends and folk songs and wrote many historical novels. His representative work is Ivanhoe. Jane Austin is another excellent novelist in that period. Her representative works are Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Manor, Emma and so on.In summary, the features of the works in romantic period are as follows: First, they focus on express the subjective ideal and express their personal intensive feelings. Second, they tend to describe natural scenery and sing in praise of the nature. Third, they fond of describe the history of the past and the middle age. Fourth, they pay attention to folk literature, especially medieval folk literature.The Victorian ageIn Victorian age, the economy developed rapidly and social problems prevailed. Britain became the “workshop of the world”. England settled down to a time of prosperity and stability and people valued earnestness, respectability, modesty, and democracy. In the last decades, British Empire declined, and Victorian values decayed. This age is a time full of opportunities. It can be divided into three stages: the Early Victorian period (1832-1848), the Mid-Victorian period (1848-1870) and the Late Victorian period (1870-1891). So is the literature in that time.One of the very important features of the literature in Victorian period is “variety”. The variety embodies the independence of the writers in the Victorian period and their desire for the literary experience. On the one hand, poets continue to use the traditional forms of expressions. On the other hand, they also try to find some new and unusual forms of expressions. The ballad is the most prominent in this aspect. Poetry began to tell the story in a new method and pursue the effect of epic. Like the The Princess and the Maud of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and The Ring and the Book of Browning are all the representative works of long narrative poem.The prose in Victorian age is also outstanding. Like the On Liberty of John Start Mill, the Evidences as to Man’s Place in Nature of Thomas Henry Huxley and so on. They all were gone down in the history of English literature.The Victorian age is almost a time that everyone read novels. Due to the constraint of the puritan moral standards, many works in the Early Victorian period and the Mid-Victorian period have some shackles in the contents to some extent. However, it created the great art in the history of English novel. Such as the Wuthering Heights of Emily Bronte, the Middlemarch of Eliot, the Jane Eyre of Charlotte Bronte and so on. The Victorian age is the development period of the novel and it reflects the humanities spirits of that time.Generally speaking, the achievements of drama in Victorian cannot be compared with the novel, poem and prose. There were almost no works had a long-term value until 1890s. There appeared a famous dramatist named George Bernard Shaw. He wrote many famous dramas like Arms and the Man, The Apple Cart and so on.Victorian literature and art are great because they reflect the real life in that period. In that period appeared many different schools of literature. There have Ernest Jones who is a chartist poet, Charles Dickens who is a realist, Christina Georgina Rossetti who is a Pre-Raphaelite poet. There also have “utopia” novels represented by Morris, new romantic novels represented by Stevenson and Aestheticism novels represented by Oscar Wilde. They all had great achievements in the history of English literature.The twentieth centuryCompared to the 19th, the English literature in 20th is introverted, irrational and experimental.the twentieth century literature includes two parts:modernist literature and contemporary literature.In early 20th, some novelists inherit the tradition of critical realism, like Galsworthy. At the same time, other novelists began to find new methods to express something more real, Like Henry James, Joseph Conrad and other novelists; they are called the pioneer of the modernist literature in the 20th.In the 20th, Britain had experienced a lot. Such as world war one, world war two, crisis and so on. People’s values vary from the change of the society, so is the literature. After the world war one, modernist literature emerged. After the crisis in the 1930s, people have come back to face the reality, realistic literature again became the mainstream of literary creationand another group of people called “Oxford wit” inherit the irony tradition of English literature and wrote many excellent works, like the Lord of the Flies of William Golding. During the world war two, existentialism is warmly welcomed and the Waiting for Godot became the classic. In 1950s, there appeared “angry young men”, “the group” and the movement poets. After the world war two, there appeared postmodernist literature.The outstanding feature of English literature in the 1980s and 1990s is back to the tradition. The new realism became the mainstream of the literature. Julian Barnes, Angela Carter, Salman Rushdie are the representative persons of it. And this feature continues to now.。
(完整版)英国文学发展概述(3)
英国文学发展概述（3）五、浪漫主义时期文学（1798-1832）18世纪末、19世纪初，英国诗风大变。
苏格兰农民诗人罗伯特·彭斯（Robert Burns, 1759-1796）给英国诗坛带来一股新鲜的气息。
他的抒情诗自然生动，感情真挚，讽刺诗尖锐锋利，妙趣横生。
威廉·布莱克（William Blake, 1757-1827）是版画家兼诗人，想象奇特，极富个性。
他的短诗意象鲜明，语言清新，后期的长诗内容比较晦涩。
他在诗歌中建立起自己一套独特的神话体系，具有神秘主义色彩。
布莱克的革命性、独创性和复杂性使他成为浪漫主义诗歌的先驱。
1798年，威廉·华兹华斯（William Wordsworth, 1770-1850）与塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治（Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834）合作出版了一本小诗集《抒情歌谣集》（Lyrical Ballads ），其中大部分诗歌出自华兹华斯之手，用简朴的语言描写简朴的生活。
《抒情歌谣集》的问世标志着英国浪漫主义文学的真正崛起。
华兹华斯在1802年诗集再版时写的序中对诗歌作出了著名定义：“好诗是强烈感情的自然流溢”。
浪漫主义是对新古典主义的反拨：诗歌内容不再是对现实的反映或道德说教，而是诗人内心涌出的真实感情；诗歌语言不是模仿经典作家去追求高雅精致，而是要贴近普通人的日常用语。
浪漫主义诗人崇尚自然，主张返朴归真。
浪漫主义是一个比较笼统的概念，每个诗人各有其特征。
同样是“湖畔派”诗人，华兹华斯将大自然视为灵感的源泉，自然美景能给人力量和愉悦，具有疗效作用，使人的心灵净化和升华，柯勒律治则赋予自然神奇色彩，擅长描绘瑰丽的超自然幻景。
乔治·戈登·拜伦（George Gordon Byron, 1788-1824）和波西·比希·雪莱（Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792-1822）属于革命诗人，但拜伦自我表现意识强烈，而雪莱深受柏拉图哲学影响，憧憬美丽的理想和理念。
