大学英美文学小结
名词解释1、English RomanticismEnglish Romanticism is a term that denotes most of the writings that were written between 1798 and 1832 during which writers concentrate on feelings and interests rather than structure and order. It was to some extent a reaction against the neoclassical period that preceded it. It designates a literary and philosophical theory which tends to see the individual as the very center of all life and all experience. It also places the individual at the center of art, making literature most valuable as an expression of his or her unique feelings and particular attitudes, and valuing its accuracy in portraying the individual's experiences. Nature and imagination are the things that the Romantics worshipped most. The principal Romantic poets were Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats. The main novelists were Sir Walter Scott and Jane Austen. Lamb, Hazlitt and de Quincey were important essayists. Many of the ideas of English Romanticism were first expressed in Lyrical Ballads collaborated by Wordsworth and Coleridge.2、Critical realismCritical realism is a new literary trend in the V ictorian period. It is based on realism which presents life and the natural-world as they are and without idealistic or romantic coloring. Famous critical realist writer are Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray and the Bronte sisters, etc. While sticking to the principle of faithful representation of the 18th century realist novel, they carry their duly forward to the criticism of the society and the defense of the mass. Although writing from different points of view and with different techniques, they shared one thing in common, that is, they were all concerned about the fate of the common people. They were angry with the inhuman social institutions, the decaying social morality as represented by the money- worship and Utilitarianism, and the widespread misery, poverty and injustice. Their truthful picture of people's life and bitter and strong criticism of tile society had done much in awakening the public consciousness to the social problems and in the actual improvement of the society.3、Stream-of-consciousnessStream-of-consciousness is a phrase taken from William James’s Principle of Psychology (l890) that bas become common in literary terminology where it refers to the attempt by novelists to reproduce the thoughts, impressions and ide as of a character’ s mind as they occur.In English fiction, the novels of Stream-of-Consciousness were represented by James Joyce and V irginia Woolf. Those novels broke through the bounds of time and space, and depicted vividly and skillfully the unconscious activity of the mind fast changing and flowing incessantly, particularly the hesitant, misted, distracted and illusory psychology people had when they faced reality. Britain was the center of the novels of Stream-of-consciousness.4、RealismRealism is literature is associated with a rejection of fantasy, mythology, and highly complex and, therefore, implausible plots. Instead, a realist novel will tend to concentrate on “ordinary people”and the feature stories either based on, or similar to, real events. Also tend to avoid the linguistic experimentalism of, say, a James Joyce, in favor of prose that doesn’t draw attention to itself, and presents the story as clearly as possible. Character is more important than action and plot. Class is important; events will usually be plausible; objectivity in presentation becomes increasingly important. Diction is natural vernacular, not heightened or poetic; tone may be comic, satiric, or matter-of-fact.《西风颂》“Ode to the West Wind ”I、作者:Percy Bysshe Shelley (珀西比希雪莱)II、考点及题型:1、For each of the quotations listed below please give the name of the author and the title of the literary work from which it is taken and then briefly interpret it.Be through my lips to unawakened EarthThe trumpet of a prophecy! O, Wind,If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”From Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind”. This part illustrates Shelley’s optimistic belief in the future of mankind.2、Briefly analyze Shelley’s Ode to the W est Wind.In Ode to the West Wind, Shelley eulogized the powerful west wind and expressed his eagerness to enjoy the boundless freedom from the reality. The autumn wind, burying the dead year, preparing for a new spring, becomes an image of Shelley himself, as he would want to be, in its freedom, its destructive-constructive potential, its universality.3、What does Shelley want to tell the reader in his "Ode to the W est Wind"?Best of all the well-known lyric pieces is Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" (1819); here Shelley's rhapsodic and declamatory tendencies find a subject perfectly suited to them. The autumn wind, burying the dead year, preparing for a new Spring, becomes an image of Shelley ;himself, as he would want to be, in its freedom, its destructive-constructive power , its universality. "I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!" calls the Shelley that could not bear being fettered to the humdrum realities of everyday! The whole poem has logic of feeling, a progression that leads to the triumphant, hopeful and convincing conclusion: "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" Here is no reassurance, no mysticism, but the primal amorality of nature itself, with its mad fury and its pagan ruthlessness. Shelley's ode is an invocation to a primitive deity, a plea to exalt him in its fury and to trumpet the radical prophecy of hope and rebirth.《哈姆雷特》“Hamlet”1、作者:William Shakespeare (威廉姆莎士比亚)2、作者主要作品:四大悲剧:1、Hamlet (哈姆雷特)2、Othello (奥赛罗)3、King Lear (李尔王)4、Macbeth (麦克白)四大戏剧:1、A Midsummer Night’s Dream(仲夏夜之梦)2、Twelfth Night(第十二夜)3、All’s W ell That Ends W ell (终成眷属)4、The Merchant of Venice (威尼斯商人)3、人物关系:哈姆雷特Prince Hamlet ——丹麦王子。
