英美文学选读英国部分第二章新古典主义时期

英美文学选读中文翻译及重点习题答案英国文学(AMERICAN LITERATURE) 第二章新古典主义时期（The Neoclassical Period）一、背景知识（Background knowledge）1、历史背景（Historical background）新古典主义时期的英国社会矛盾交织。

王室与议会、不同的教派之间、统治阶级与贫苦的劳动大众之间冲突不断，托利党与辉格党也为对议会和政府的控制而争斗不已。

概言之，那是一个充满了多种矛盾和多种价值观的时代。

18世纪的英国发展迅速，到世纪中叶，英国已成为世界上的头号资本主义强国。

随着经济的迅速发展，中产阶级也随之壮大了起来。

2、文化背景（Cultural background）（1）随着资本主义的发展，中产阶级的社会价值观和道德观占据了主宰地位。

中产阶级崇尚自制、自立和勤劳。

对他们而言，生活的意义就在于工作、节俭和积累财富。

（2）这一时期，启蒙运动在英国全面展开。

该运动的目的是用现代哲学和艺术观启迪社会。

启蒙主义者们宣扬理性、平等与科学，宣称理性是人类的一切思想和行动唯一的、终极的目标。

（3）启蒙者们相信当理性作为衡量一切人类行为和关系的标尺之时，一切迷信、压迫和不公正将让位于“终极真理”、“终极正义”和“终极平等”（4）启蒙者们鼓吹全民教育。

The school for Scandal is a sharp satire on the moral degeneracy of the aristocratic-bourgeois society in the 18th century England，on the vicious scandal-mongering among the idle rich，on the reckless life of extravagance & love intrigues in the high society，and above all，on the immorality & hypocrisy behind the mask of honorable living & high-sounding moral principles.Besides The Rivals & The School for Scandal，Sheridan’s other works include：St. Patrick’s Day，or the Scheming Lieutenant (1775)，a two act farce; The Duenna(1775)，a comic opera; The Critic(1779)，a burlesque & a satire on sentimental drama; & Pizarro (1799)，a tragedy adapted from a German play.5.应用：Select readingAn Excerpt from Act 4，Scene III of The School for Scandal1) Brief IntroductionsThe School for Scandal is mainly a story about 2 brothers，the hypocritical Joseph Surface & the good-natured，imprudent，spendthrift Charles Surface.2) ThemeThe School for Scandal is one of the great classics in English drama.

In the poems in eluding n My Last Duchess11, Brow ning chooses a dramatic moment or a crisis, in which his characters are made to talk about their lives, and about their minds and hearts.

Symbolism is the writing technique of using symbols. A symbol is something that conveys two kinds of meaning; it is simply itself, and it stands for something other than itself. In other words, a symbol is both literal and figurative. People, places, things and even events can be used symbolically.A symbol is a way of telling a story and a way of conveying meaning. The best symbols are those that are believable in the lives of the characters and also convincing as they convey a meaning beyond the literal level of the story. Hawthorne and Melville were the two masters of symbolism. For example, the scarlet letter ,f a lf on Hesters breast can give you symbolic meanings. If the symbol is obscure or ambiguous, then the very obscurity and the ambiguity may also be apt of the meaning of the story.F.1.The name of the author is William Wordsworth, and the title of the literary work is H l Wandered Lonely As a Cloud11.译文如下：我独自游荡，像一朵孤云高高地飞越峡谷和山巅，突然，我望见密密的一群，那是一大片金黄色水仙；它们在那湖边的树荫里，在阵阵微风中舞姿飘逸。
