美国各文学时期重要作家及其主要作品
美国各文学时期重要作家及其主要作品美国文学的发展历史虽然只有200多年，但是它在这段时间里所取得的成就却是十分辉煌的。
美国文学业已形成的民族性、时代性和社会性，使它成为世界文学的重要组成部分。
美国文学的发展和美国历史的发展几乎是平行的。
美国殖民主义时期三个代表诗人1.安妮·布雷兹特里特Anne Bradstreet （1612-1672）美国第一位作品得以发表的女诗人。
她出生于英格兰，1630年时随父亲和丈夫来到北美马萨诸塞湾殖民地。
诗的风格与同时代的英国诗人John Donne、Edward Taylor有相似之处。
她最著名的诗集是《第十位缪斯》(The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung up in America,1650)，这也是她生前出版的唯一诗集。
一般认为，她最优秀的诗作，主要收录于她去世后由罗杰斯选编的《布雷兹特里特诗集》(Several Poems 1678)。
《写在我家失火之际》On the Burning of Our House）反映出殖民时期生活的侧面，《灵与肉》（The Flesh and the Spirit）向读者展示了作为一名虔诚的清教徒，在面临新大陆恶劣的生存环境时，诗人内心深处肉体与灵魂、世俗与信仰之间的斗争。
2.爱德华·泰勒(Edward Taylor，1644?-1729年)美国清教派牧师和诗人。
他被公认为美国19世纪前最重要的诗人。
在他有生之年仅发表过两首诗歌，直到1937年人们研究他的手稿时才认识到他那虔诚的诗歌的优美绝伦。
像约翰·多恩和乔治·赫伯特以及其他英国玄学派诗人一样，泰勒擅长运用精心选择的暗喻和丰富而唯美的比喻，也采用日常生活中的寻常措辞和比喻。
《爱德华·泰勒诗集》(1939年)收录了他的杰作，包括写于约1685年的《上帝对其选民有影响的决定》，和写于1682-1726年的《内省录》（Preparatory Meditation）中的部分。

马克·吐温_百度百科
马克·吐温mark twain中文名：马克·吐温外文名：Mark Twain别名：萨缪尔·兰亨·克莱门国籍：美国出生地：美国密苏里州佛罗里达的乡村出生日期：1835年11月30日逝世日期：1910年4月21日职业：作家代表作品：《百万英镑》、《哈克贝利费恩历险记》、《汤姆·索亚历险记》人物简介虽然他的财富很多，却有损他高超的幽默、机智与名气，称英国最不知名人士之一，擅长写讽刺小说。
其交友不广阔，迪士尼、魏伟德、近二款，八八年、尼古拉·特斯拉、海伦·凯勒、亨利·罗杰诸君，皆为其友。
他曾被誉为：文学史上的林肯。
海伦·凯勒曾言：“我喜欢马克·吐温——谁会不喜欢他呢？即使是上帝，亦会钟爱他，赋予其智慧，并于其心灵里绘画出一道爱与信仰的彩虹。
”威廉·福克纳称马克·吐温为“第一位真正的美国作家，我们都是继承他而来”。
其于1910年四月二十二日去世，享年七十五，安葬于纽约州艾玛拉。
写作风格融幽默与讽刺一体，既富于独特的个人机智与妙语，又不乏深刻的社会洞察与剖析，既是幽默辛辣的小说杰作，又是悲天悯人的严肃!作品笔名“马克·吐温”是其最常使用的笔名，一般认为这个笔名是源自其早年水手术语，马克·吐温的意思是：水深12英尺，萨缪尔（即“马克·吐温”）曾当过领航员，与其伙伴测量水深时，他的伙伴叫道“Mark Twain !”，意思是“两个标记”，亦即水深两浔（1浔约1.8米），这是轮船安全航行的必要条件.还有一个原因是，他的船长塞勒斯，曾是位德高望重的领航员，不时为报纸写些介绍密西西比河掌故的小品，笔名“马克·吐温”。
1859年，塞勒斯船长发表了一篇预测新奥尔良市将被水淹没的文章。
调皮的萨缪尔决定拿他开个玩笑，就模仿他的笔调写了一篇非常尖刻的讽刺小品。
谁知这篇游戏文章竟深深刺痛了老船长的心，老船长从此弃笔不写，“马克·吐温”这个笔名也从此在报纸上销声匿迹了。

Topic 1―American Realism
1. Definition of Realism ◆ Term applied to literary composition that aims to an
interpretation of the actualities of any aspects of life, free from subjective prejudice, idealism, or romantic color. ◆ In art and literature, Realism refers to an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures exactly as they act or appear in life. Realism emerged as a literary movement in Europe in the 1850s. In reaction to Romanticism, realistic writers should set down their observations impartially and objectively. They insisted on accurate documentation, sociological insight, and avoidance of poetic diction and idealization. The subjects were to be taken from everyday life, preferably from lower-class life. Realism entered American literature after the Civil War.
美国文学之父the father of American literature
美国文学之父the father of American literatureUnit 2美国文学之父The Father of American Literature2.1美国文学之父The Father of American Literature(1)Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Clemens, was the first American writer to specifically dwell on American themes, American language and the American point of view. He was a master at rendering the different colloquial dialects of American English into wr iting so the reader can really “hear” the accent while reading the words. Twain was known particularly for his interest in portraying the American point of view. Tired of European writers who came to tour the United States and then go home to write critical things of it, Twain took to touring Europe and writing frankly (and critically) of what he saw there. Twain was also the first American writer to produce a tremendous volume of works. In fact, he wrote so much that there is no complete bibliography of his works. He used various pen names, wrote so many novels, short stories, newspaper and magazine articles, speeches and lectures that they have never been all compiled. Twain loved to travel, and many of his stories and books record his adventures and observations while traveling all over the United States. He was the first writer to do so thoroughly.马克·吐温真名萨缪尔·克莱门，他是第一位重视表达美国人的思想、语言和观点的美国作家。

1) “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” (1865) 《加拉维加县有名 的跳蛙》
He used the artistic style of hyperbole on the basis of the western traditional humor and made his writing full of allegories that lay behind the humor.
But Tom has read many books and wants to make his life just as bright as it is depicted in the stories. He devises games in which the boys play the role of brave outlaws and warlike Red Indians who are the terror of the rich and the oppressors. One night the boys involuntarily witness the murder of Dr. Robinson. An innocent man is charged with the crime. But on the day of the trial Tom fearlessly exposes the real criminal the Indian Joe who escapes through an open window of the courtroom.

2. The Age of Realism
In American literature, the Civil War brought the Romantic Period to an end. The Age of Realism came into existence. It came as a reaction against the lie of romanticism and sentimentalism. Realism turned from an emphasis on the strange toward a faithful rendering of the ordinary, a slice of life as it is really lived. It expresses the concern for commonplace and the low, and it offers an objective rather than an idealistic view of human nature and human experience. The period ranging from 1865 to l914 has been referred to as the Age of Realism in the 1iterary history of the United States, which is actually a movement or tendency that dominated the spirit of American literature, especia1ly American fiction, from the 1850s onwards. Realism was a reaction against Romanticism or a move away from the bias towards romance and self-creating fictions, and it paved the way to Modernism. Instead of thinking about the irrational, the imaginative, realists touched upon social and political realities and pressures in the post-Civil war society.
3. The historical and socio-cultural background of
American Realism
This period is characterized with changes, in relation to every aspect of American life, politically, economically, culturally, and religiously. First of all, politically, the Civil War affected both the social and the value system of the country. America had transformed itse1f into an industria1ized and commercialized society. The industrialization and the urbanization were accompanied by the incalculable sufferings of the laboring people. Therefore, polarization of the wellbeing between the poor and the rich started to show up. Thirdly, as far as the ideology was concerned, people became dubious about the human nature and the benevo1ence of God, which the Transcendentalists cared most. The literary scene after the Civi1 War proved to be quite different a picture. The harsh rea1ities of life as well as the disillusion of heroism resulting from the dark memories of the Civil War had set the nation against the romance. The Americans began to be tired of the sentimental feelings of Romanticism.
