常耀信美国文学史教案Chapter 1 Colonial America(US is a quite special country in the world. Although it only has a very short history, it is the most powerful country today. )1.Historical Background⑴ In 1942, Christopher Columbus found the new continent called America.⑵ Immigrants: Spanish (they built the first town on the new continent); Dutch (they built New York city at the beginning stage); French (today still lots of people’s mother tongue is French in North America)⑶ English immigrants, Jamestown, Virginia, 16071620 “May Flower”, Plymouth(Imagine: transportation not convenient, why some many immigrants left their hometown and came to such a remote place as America? Economic reasons; Religious reasons) (Reformation and religious conflicts in Europe; persecution of Protestants)2.American Puritanism(清教主义)⑴ Puritans=Calvinistsa:John Calvin, a theologian, Puritans believed most doctrines preached by him, so they were also called Calvinistsbut puritans wanted to “purify the church” to its original state, because they thought the church was corrupted and had too many ritualsc:To be a Puritan: taking religion as the most important thing; living for glorifying God; believing predestination(命运天定), original sin(原罪,人生下来就是有罪的,因为人类的祖先亚当和夏娃是有罪的), total depravity(人类是完全堕落的,所以人要处处小心自己的行为,要尽可能做到最好以取悦上帝), limited atonement(有限救赎,只有被上帝选中的人才能得到上帝的拯救)d life style of Puritans: pious, austerity of taste, diligence and thrift, rigid sense of morality, self-reliance (John Milton is a typical Puritan.)⑵ American Puritana:On the one hand, American Puritans were all idealist as their European brothers. They came to the new continent with the dream that they would built the new land to an Eden on earth.b:On the other hand, American Puritans were more practical maybe because the severe conditions they faced.⑶ Influence on literaturea:Basis of American literature: the dream of building an Eden of Garden on earth (Early American literature were mainly optimistic because they believed that God sent them to the new continent to fulfill the sacred task so they would overcome all the difficulties they met at last. Gradually Americans found that their dreams would not be successful, so lots of pessimistic literary works were produced.)b:Symbolism(象征主义): lots of American writers liked to employ symbolism in their works. (typical way of Puritans who thought that all the simple objects existing in the world connoted deep meaning.) Symbolism means using symbols in literary works. The symbol means something represents or stands for abstract deep meaning.c:Style: simple, fresh and direct (just as the style of the Authorized Version ofHoly Bible)3.Colonial Literature⑴ General featuresa:Humble origins: diaries, histories, letters etc.b:In content: serving either God or colonial expansion or bothc:In form: imitating English literary traditions⑵ Captain John Smith: the first American Writer (P16)⑶ Anne Bradstreet: first American woman poet; a Puritan poet; once called “Tenth Muse”; her poems mainly about religious experience, family life and early settlers’lives; her most famous poems?“Contemplations” (P17)⑷ Philip Freneau (1752-1832)a:He is the most important poet in the 18th century.b:He was entitled “Father of American Poetry”.c:He was born in New York and graduated from Princeton University.d:He wrote lots of poems supporting American Revolution and human liberty.e:He was the most notable representative of dawning American nationalism in literature.f:His poems presented Romantic spirits but his form and taste were mainly influenced by Classicism.g:Most famous poems: “The Wild Honey Suckle” and “The Indian Burying Ground”h:Analyze and discuss the theme, rhyme scheme and some difficult dictions in “The Wild Honey Suckle”.Lecture 2 Edwards and Franklin(In most course books, this part is called the 18th century literature. And Jonathan Edwards is not included and is put to the colonial period. However, Philip Freneau should be included in this chapter.)(Putting these two characters together, the author may means to compare these two. The comparison is mentioned several times in the text on P27 and P32.)1.Historical Background⑴ American Revolution(Strict rules made by English government prevented the economic development of the colonies.

At the same time with the development of science and technology, Americans suspected the old religion. Thus, Unitarianism(唯一理教) appeared. It was a developed school from the Transcendentalism. It stressed "continual progress of mankind" rather than old religion's "man's total depravity”. It influenced Emerson. Emerson once was a preacher of Unitarianism, but he thought there were too many rituals in this religious school. Then he resigned from the position and sought a way for people to worship more freely.Emerson also believed in individuality and the dream of making a Garden of Eden on earth held by old generation Puritans.From Jonathan Edwards Emerson inherited the ideas of inward communication with God and the divine symbolism of nature.B. Foreign influenceGerman Philosophy, especially Kant(康德)Ancient Indian and Chinese works, such as Confucius and Mencius(2) Features (P57)A. Emphasis on Spirit (Oversoul) (超灵)(爱默生在超验主义里强调的超灵相当于过去宗教里上帝的这个角色,在超验主义里超灵是无形的,人生活的世界里所有的一切都来自超灵,超灵在人生活的世界里也无所不在。

Lecture 5American Romanticism and New England Literature: Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan PoeⅠT eaching ContentWalt Whitman; Emily Dickinson; Edgar Allan PoeⅡTime Allotment2 periodsⅢT eaching Objectives and Requirements1 Help the students to know about Walt Whitman.2 Help the students to know about Emily Dickinson.3 Help the students to know about Edgar Allan Poe.ⅣKey Points and Difficult Points in Teaching1 Walt Whitman2 Emily Dickinson3 Edgar Allan PoeⅤT eaching Methods and MeansLecture; Discussion; Multi-mediaⅥT eaching Process1 General Introduction to W alt Whitman and Emily Dickinson1.1 Sameness● Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson were two major poets in late 19th century.●Thematically, both extolled an emergent America, its expansion, its individualism,and its Americanness, their poetry being part of “American Renaissance”.● Technically, both added to the literary independence of the new nation by breakingfree of the convention of the iambic pentameter and exhibiting a freedom in form unknown before. They were both considered as the pioneers of modern American poetry.1.2 Differences●Thematically,Whitman keeps his eye on society, while Dickinson explores theinner life of the individual●In outlook, Whit man is “national” while Dickinson is “regional”.●In form, Whitman’s endless, all-inclusive catalogs contrast with Dickinson’sconcise, direct, and simple diction and syntax2 W alt Whitman (1819-1892)2.1 Leaves of Grass● Through out Whitman’s life, Leaves of Grass went through 9 editions: 1855, 1856,1860, 1867, 1871, 1876, 1881, 1889, 1891-92.●The first edition of Leaves of Grass contained 12 poems, not sold well but made astir on the American literary scene. Because it broke with the poetic convention and expressed the pleasures of sex and the sensuality of the body, it was criticized as “noxious weeds”, “poetry of barbarism”.●In Leaves of Grass, Whitman extols the ideals of equality, democracy, the dignity,the self-reliant spirit, and the joy of the common man, the expansion of America with its dynamic creative fertility and its indomitable energy.●Leaves of Grass is an Adamic song.2.2 Poetics● Whitman’s poetic style is marked, first of all, by the use of the poetic “I” (usually atriangular relationship: “I” the poet, subject in the poem and “you” the reader.● Whitman is also radically innovative in terms of the form of his poetry. What heprefers is “free verse”, that is poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme.A looser and more open-ended syntactical structure is frequently favored. Linesand sentences of different lengths are left lying side by side just as things, undisturbed and separate. There are few compound sentences to draw objects and experiences into a system of hierarchy.●There is a strong sense of the poems being rhythmical.●The rhetoric of Whitman’s poetry is relatively simple and even rather crude.●He has a strong tendency to use oral English.2.3 Contribution●Whitman’s influence over modern poetry is great in the world as well as inAmerica.● His best work has become part of the common property of Western culture. Manypoets in England, France, Italy and Latin America are in his debt.● Modern American poets like T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound would not have been whatthey were without Whitman. Pound though called him a “pigheaded father”, recognized him as a father figure who led the break from the past.● Whitman has been compared to a mountain in American literary history.● His innovations in diction and versification, his frankness about sex, his inclusionof the commonplace and the ugly and his censure of the weakness of the American democratic practice—these paved his way to a share of immortality in American Literature.2.4 Song of Myself (For self-study)●Song of Myself is a repertory of Whitman’s thought. From a blade of “curlinggrass” Whitman sees into the mystery of death and birth and concludes that “the smallest sprout shows there is really no death”(Section 6), and that “all goes onward and out ward, nothing collapses” (Section 6). The “I”, present everywhere in life, leaves one with the impression of a divine omniscience beholding nature and man alike. It is only natural that “I am deathless”(Section 20), “I exist as I am” (Section 20), and “One world is aware…and that is myself” (Section 20), and that the whole poem ends on an extremely transcendental note: “I am large, Icontain multitudes.” (Section 51)●Through his senses, through his uninhibited imagination, and through his ecstaticjoy in life and urge to creation, the experiences of American life are poured. He moves from himself to “you” and to “others, to all humanity en masse about him, to the brave violence of his nation, to love and death, to the pantheistic God in every object, to the future and to eternity. Then: “I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun…/I stop somewhere waiting for you.”(Section 52) Whitman’s thought moves often about the layers of friend, lover, the “en masse”, nation, humanity, to a kind of cosmic evolution or unity, a oneness with the universe. It comes from a form of Emersonian self-reliance and moves to the cosmos. The most limited and personal of his poems becomes the largest and most nearly universal.●Song of Myself reveals a world of equality, without rank and hierarchy. “Theprostitute draggling her shawl, the President holding a cabinet council, the stately and friendly matrons on the piazza walk…”illustrate the principle of democracy and equality. The poet, “walking around, hears America singing. The mother is singing while setting food on the table. The carpenter is singing, planning his boards…”Long catalogs of different people and different occupations indicate that here the new children of Adam are being restored to the Garden of Eden, developing their potentiality to the fullest extent possible. In a general sense Leaves of Grass is an Adamic song, and its author is an Adamic singer.3 Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)3.1 Themes of her poetry●Dickinson’s poems are usually based on her own experience, her sorrows and joys.Dickinson addresses those issues that concern the whole human beings, which include religion, death, immortality, love, and nature.◆Some of her poems are about her doubt and belief about religious subjects (shedesired salvation and immortality, yet she denied the orthodox view of paradise;she believed in God, while sometimes doubted his benevolence) P97-98.◆Some of her poems concern death and immortality (themes lying at the centerof Dickinson’s world), ranging over the physical as well as the psychological and emotional aspects of death (she looked at death from the point of view of both the living and the dying; for her, death leads to immortality, death marks the beginning of a higher life)—”I heard a Fly buzz—when I died”(a poem universally considered one of her masterpieces) P98-99.◆Some of her poems are about love, one group treating the suffering andfrustration love can cause, the clear reflection of her own unhappy experience (many of them are striking and original depictions of the longing for shared moments, the pain of separation, and the futility of finding happiness)—”If you were coming in the Fall”, “I can’t live with Y ou—”, the other group focusing on the physical aspect of desire, in which Dickinson dealt with allegorically the influence of the male authorities over the female, emphasizing the power of physical attraction and expressing a mixture of fear and fascination for the mysterious magnetism between sexes.◆More than five hundred poems of Dickinson’s are about nature, in which hergeneral skepticism about the relationship between man and nature is well expressed (she saw nature both gaily benevolent and cruel: she on the one hand believed that a mythical bond between man and nature existed and nature revealed to man things about mankind and universe. On the other hand, she felt strongly about nature’s inscrutability and indifference to the life and interest of human beings).● On the ethical level Dickinson emphasizes free will and human responsibility. Shebelieves that man is aided in his struggle by a resolute faith in immortality. She is absolutely convinced with soul’s sovereignty. She attacks over-emphasis on materialism and commercialism and responses to the expansion of America warmly. Dickinson admires the crusading liberal Republicanism. She has sympathy for the poor and the weak. She holds that beauty, truth and goodness are ultimately one.3.2 Characteristics of her poetry●Dickinson’s poetry is unique and unconventional in its own way. Her choice ofwords, her verbal constructions, her images and even her spelling are unconventional.◆Her poems have no titles, hence are always quoted by their first lines. In herpoetry, there is a particular stress pattern, in which dashes are used as a musical device to create cadence and capitals as a means of emphasis.◆The form of her poetry is more less like that of the hymns in communitychurches, familiar, communal, and sometimes, irregular.◆Her poetry abounds in telling images.◆ A salient feature of her technique is her severe economy of expression. Herpoetic idiom is noted for its laconic brevity, directness, and plainest words.◆Her poems are usually short, tending to be personal and meditative due to herdeliberate seclusion. Her poetry is remarkable for its variety, subtlety and richness. All these characteristics were to become popular through Stephen Crane with the Imagist such as Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell in the twe ntieth century. She became, with Stephen Crane, the precursor of the Imagist movement.(Compare Whitman and Dickinson)4 Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) (For self-study)4.1 Others’ comment on Allan Poe●For a long time after his death, Poe remained the most controversial and mostmisunderstood literary figure in the history of American literature.◆Rufus Griswold painted him as a Bohemian, depraved and demonic, a villainwith no virtue at all.◆Emerson described him in three words: “the jingle man.”◆Mark Twain declared his prose unreadable.◆Henry James stated ruthlessly that “an enthusiasm for Poe is the mark ofdecidedly primitive state of development.”◆Whitman had mixed feelings about him: admitting Poe’s genius, but thinkingit was “its narrow range and unhealthy, lurid quality” that most impressed him.◆T. S. Eliot proclaimed him a critic of the first rank, but charged him with“slipshod writing”.◆Yvor Winters regarded Poet’s literary merit as “a very frail delusion”.●For a long time American literary criticism was reluctant to come to terms withPoe and failed to do full justice to his genius●Ironically, in Europe Poe enjoyed respect and welcome. Swinburne, Bernard Shaw,D. H. Lawrence and W. H. Auden all admired and spoke highly of him.◆Shaw said Poe was on the centenary of his birth, “the greatest journalisticcritic of his time; his poetry is “exquisitely refined”; and his tales are “complete works of art.”◆In Germany, writers such as R. M. Rilke indebted him.◆In Russia, the works of Dostoevsky bear a visible imprint of Poe’s influence.◆In France, Charles Baudelaire determined that “Edgar Poe…must become agreat man in France” and spent the beat of his mature time life translating Poe, elevating Poe to the status of a literary deity. (P106)●Today, his works are read with appreciation and understanding. Critics regarded him as a great writer of fiction, a poet of the first rank, and a critic of insight.4.2 Poe’s esthetics principles●Poetic principle:◆Poem should be short readable at one sitting.◆Its chief aim is beauty, namely, to produce a feeling of beauty in the reader.◆Poe is opposed to “the heresy of the didactic” and calls for “pure” poetry.◆He stresses rhythm, defines true poetry as “the rhythmical creation of beauty”,and declares that “music is the perfection of the soul, or idea, of poetry.”(P107) In addition, Poe insists on an even metrical flow in versification.(P108)●Theories for short stories:◆The short story must be of such length as to be read at one sitting (brevity, soas to ensure the totality of impression.◆The very first sentence ought to help bring out the “single effect” of the story.A tale should reveal some logical truth with “the fullest satisfaction,”andshould end with the last sentence, leaving a sense of finality with the reader.◆In theme Poe anticipates twentieth-century literature in his treatment of thedisintegration of the self in a world of T. S. Eliot’s “nothingness”and Hemingway’s “nada”.◆He was immensely interested in deduction and induction. (P110-114)4.3 Poe’s style●Traditional●Much too rational, too ordinary to reflect the peculiarity of his theme●Not easy to read4.4 Poe’s position●His influence is world-wide in modern literature.●His aesthetics and conscious craftsmanship, his attack on “the heresy of thedidactic”, and his call for “the rhythmical creation of beauty”have influenced French symbolists and the devotees of “art for art’s sake”.●Poe is the father of psychoanalytic criticism and the father of detective story.4.5 Discussion of Poe’s two poems●To Helen◆In the first stanza, Helen’s beauty is soothing. It provides security and safety toHelen’s beauty, for her beauty is as hypnotic for the speaker as the ships that transported another wanderer-Ulysses-home from Troy.◆Poe uses allusions to classical names and places, as well as certain kinds ofimages to create the impression of a far-off idealized, unreal woman, like a Greek statue. Words that support the image of an ideal woman are “hyacinth”and “classic”“Naiad airs”and “statue-like. Helen stands, not like a real woman, but like a saint in a”windows-niche. She becomes a symbol both of beauty and of frustration, a romantically idealized, yet inaccessible image of the heart’s desire.●“Sonnet: To Science”◆Structure: This sonnet can be divided into four parts: 3 quatrains and a couplet.▼In the first quatrain, through comparison, Poe condemns Science as a “true daughter of Old Time” and as a “Vulture” that “preyest . . . upon the poet’sheart”, helping make a case against science and cast it in a negative light.The reference to time reminds the reader of death and decay, both of whichcome with time. Without time, after all, there would be no reason to worryabout deadlines and responsibilities, and one could devote oneselfcompletely to reverie. The reference to a vulture, similarly, conjures up theconnotations of death and decay while completing the image in theprevious line of science devouring the heart of the poet.▼In the second quatrain, the poet poses rhetorical questions asking how a poet could like, respect, or join Science or think it as wise when it does notpermit him to indulge in imagination, even though he, the poet, perseveresit with undaunted courage. This image of the poor brave poet with his heartbeing preyed upon as he is simply trying to enjoy the beauty of the starspresents a victimized character to the reader.▼In the third quatrain, the poet accuses Science of spoiling some beautiful myths, such as that of Diana and the Hamadryad with harsh language. (InRoman mythology, Diana was the hunting goddess or moon goddess, andan emblem of chastity. Here car indicates Diana’s chariot. Now science hasvanquished the hunt, leaving Diana aimless and lost; Hamadryad, in Greek& Roman Mythology, a wood nymph who lives only as long as the tree, ofwhich she is the spirit, lives. Now with the advent of science, TheHamadryad does not tend to the old forests; but science explains the cycleof photosynthesis; in Greek mythology, the Naiads were a type of nymphwho presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks. Nowinstead of the Naiad, nymph of fresh water, being the source of the flood,science can come up with dreary explanations involving weather patterns.)The wood nymph Hamadryad, the water nymph Naiad, and Diana, goddessof wild animals, all conjure up notions of magic, beauty, and imagination.▼Finally, the concluding couplet reveals the reason for the persona’s lament;here, with the poem’s only first-person pronoun, the persona focusesattention on himself, accusing Science of depriving him of his reverie.Thus through its sonnet structure, metaphor, allusions, diction, and alliteration, “Sonnet: To Science” laments the effects of science on poetry and imagination.◆Theme:▼Under the traditional Shakespearean sonnet structure, Poe expresses nontraditional accusations of science. It is spoken through the vision of apassionate man mourning the slaughter of mythology, fantasy, art by itsalleged arch enemy, Science. Science is portrayed as evil and words like“prey st,”“Vulture,”and “torn” are used to describe science’s impact onmankind.▼Poe does not see science and scientific development as a good thing, rather he feels that science “alterest all things with thy peering eyes.” This visionof science grows stronger and appears in virtually all of Poe’s later talesand stories. He implores Science as to why “she”must impose her “dullrealities”on the hearts of poets like himself, squelching their wanderingminds. He questions the desertion of imagination by the objective forceof science.▼He is inclined to avoid logic in his argument, although the classic sonnet structure implies his own attempt to rationalize his own thoughts. Perhapsthe structure contrasted with such feelings further insinuates humanity’sparadoxical need for organization in every field of thought.ⅦReflection Questions and AssignmentsReflection QuestionsWhy was Walt Whitman viewed to be “one of the greatest innovators inAmerican literature”?Assignments1 Read “Because I could Not Stop for Death”.2 Read “The Raven”.3 Self-study William Dean Howells4 Compare the following poem with Poe’s “Sonnet: To Science”.如果数字和圆形不再是…….诺瓦利斯(徳)Novalis 1772-1801如果数字和圆形不再是一切造物的钥匙,如果歌唱或亲吻的人们学识比大师还精深,如果有一天世界必定回归到自由的生命,如果那是光与影重新合为纯粹的澄明,如果人们从童话和诗句认识真实的世界历史于是整个颠倒的存在随一句密语飞逝.ⅧMajor ReferencesEdward by Sculley Bradley.
