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 the ordinary and a slice of life as it is really lived. It expresses the concern for the common place and the low, and it offers an objective rather than an idealistic view of human nature and human experience. Realist literature finds the drama and the tension beneath the ordinary surface of life. A realist writer is more objective than subjective, more descriptive than symbolic. Realists looked for truth in everyday truths.Mark TwainMark Twain is one of the great artists of all time, he was and an authentic giant of American national. He is the main representative of Local Colorism. His satire and humor are as popular today as at any time in American history. Mark Twain’s significant contribution to American literature lies in the fact that he made colloquial speech an accepted, respectable literature medium in the literary history of the country. His masterpiece is the Adventure of Tom Sawyer and the Adventure of Huckberry Finn.Local colorismIt refers to a literature which has local texture and background that it could not have been written in any other place or by anyone else than a native. It is characterized with a local culture, elements such as speech, customs, and mores peculiar to one particular place. It is also concerned with ite local background including the physical setting and landscape which condition human thought and behavior.Local colorists concerned with themselves with presenting and interpreting the local character of their regions.

Auden all admired and spoke highly of him.2.State Henry James’ three writing periods.His tree distinctive periods was: the first is from 1865 to 1882 which he wrote a number of novels such as American. He won the international fame in the period; the second is from 1882 to 189, which he wrote his tales of subtle studies of inter-personal relations; the third is from 1895 to 1900, which he wrote some novels tand tales dealing with childrenhood and adolescence.

Statementpare three realist writers: Howells, James and Twain.They all worked for realism. But they are quite different. On theme, James wrote mostly of the upper reaches of American society, and Howells concerned himself chiefly with middle class life, whereas Mark Twain dealt largely with the lower strata of society. On techniques, Howells wrote in the vein of genteel realism, but Mark Twain’s contribution to the development of realism and to American literature as a whole was partly through his theories of localism in American fiction.课文内容➢Introduction➢Brief Outline of American Literature➢Chapter I Colonial Period➢Chapter II Revolutionary PeriodBenjamin FranklinPhilip Freneau➢Chapter III American RomanticismWashington IrvingJames Fenimore CooperWilliam Cullen BryantEdgar Allan PoeNathaniel Hawthorne第一章➢Introduction➢Brief Outline of American Literature➢Chapter I Colonial Period➢Chapter II Revolutionary PeriodBenjamin FranklinPhilip Freneau➢Chapter III American RomanticismWashington IrvingJames Fenimore CooperWilliam Cullen BryantEdgar Allan PoeNathaniel Hawthorne➢4Why did Puritans come to America?- to reform the Church of England- to have an entirely new church- to escape religious persecution* God’s chosen people* To seek a new Garden of Eden* To build “City of God on earth”➢5Influence- Puritanism can be compared with Chinese Confucianism- American Puritanism was one of the most enduring shaping influences in American thought and American literature.- American literature is based on a myth, i.e. the Biblical myth of the Garden of Eden.- Simplicity in writing skillsThree major poets in colonial period Three major poets in colonial period1.Michael Wigglesworth ，Anne Bradstreet ，Edward TaylorAnne Bradstreet (1612-1672)1.Anne Bradstreet’s Works“contemplation”《沉思录》“The Spirit and the Flesh”《灵与肉》The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America 《北美洲最近出现的第十个缪斯》2.Anne Bradstreet’s Life* She was born and educated in England.* At the age of 18, she came to America in 1630 with her father and husband.* She had 8 children.* She became known as the “Tenth Muse” who appeared in America.二Michael Wigglesworth (1631-1705)the most popular poet in American Colonial PeriodWork: “The Day of Doom” (1662三Edward Taylor (1642?-1729)the finest poet in colonial periodWork: Preparaory Meditation 《自省录》metaphysical poets/thoughts四Other writers in colonial period:Roger williams (1720-1772 Thomas Paine (1737-1809) philip Freneau 91752-1832Charles Brown (1771-1810五Features of Colonial Poets and Works1.They were servants of God.2.They faithfully imitated and transplanted English literary traditions.Chapter2Revolutionary Period (1775-1783)The Age of Reason”“American Enlightenment”•Splendid thoughts in this period in the world:Newton's gravity Rousseau in FranceAlexander Pope in England Daniel Defoe in England？？？•In the 18th century, people believed in man’s own nature and the power of human reason.With Franklin as its spokesman, the 18th century America experienced an age of reason.•Words had never been so useful and so important in human history.

Ⅳ. It has been widely recognized that the so-called “magic words” like “thank you” and “please” are more commonly used in English speaking society than they will in Chinese speaking society. One of explanations for this phenomenon may go like this: Look, these foreigners are really more polite than our countrymen. Try to use your knowledge in sociolinguistics and make some comments on this understanding of cultural difference.
Basically speaking, the above explanation is not a correct one. As we all know, people from different cultural backgrounds speak differently. A maxim we should keep in mind is that one culture’s meat can be another culture’s poison. Take the quoted example again. English people and Chinese people have their distinctive ways to express politeness. In most cases, expressions like “thank you” and “please” are used as a lip service (口惠)in English, not really meaning that the speaker owes you something. On the other hand, a friendly smile or a slight nodding will be a more common practice in Chinese culture to express politeness. If we are not aware of this subtle difference, new cultural misunderstanding will come into being. For instance, you may either feel that English speakers are so polite for trivial thing s that appear false and less sincere (虚情假意) or consider that Chinese speakers are so rude that they never know how to speak politely.
Ⅴ. What will you say to a statement like “One culture’s meat is another culture’s poison”?
In cross-cultural communication, when people have some trouble and don’t know how to behave correctly, they tend to turn to their source culture for help. This is a strategy often used by communicators in a new cultural setting. Convenient as it is , this strategy may not always work. For too many bad stories can be told to illustrate this point. This is because people from different communities think, behave, and speak differently. As our case studies in Chapter show, if we are not ready for this difference, we may run into trouble. Therefore, a principle that cross-cultural communicators should follow is to understand the target culture by transcending the source culture. Put alternatively, try to do as the Romans do when in Rome.。
