The Flea
Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that which thou denies me is; Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be; Thou know’st that this cannot be said A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead, Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pampered swells with one blood made of two, And this, alas, is more than we would do.
Requirements for this course: 1. Class attendance; 2. A wide reading before and after class; 3. Remembering some important facts; 4. Class discussion.

Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, nay more than married are. This flea is you and I, ant this Our marriage bed and marriage temple is; Though parents grudge, and you, we are met, And cloistered in the living walls of jet.

Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humour of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them, forthey teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.Q1：What’s the title of this essay from which it is taken?

Meanwhile, he also exposed and satirized the social evils, especially the religious abuses.V. 论述题1. What are the artistic features of The Canterbury Tales?1) Realistic Presentation of Characters and Contemporary LifeNot only the characters represent the classes they come from, but each also possesses an individual personality. The characters are as important a part of the poem as the tales told by them.The poet tries to give a comprehensive picture of the English society of his time and arranges to present a colorful gallery of pilgrims that covers a great range of social life.2) Chaucer’s HumorHe is well-skilled in mild and subtle irony to create humorous effects. He was a broad-minded humanist and had sympathy for people at large. He treats his characters kindly on the whole, using gentle satire and irony to criticize vanity, ill-manners, deceptive tricks and all sorts of follies and human weaknesses.3) Unity Trough a Framed StoryAlthough the story-tellers are very different and the stories are diverse, a unity is achieved through the device of the framed story that is Chaucer’s invention of a pilgrimage as the occasion of all the story-telling and thus makes it realistic. The pilgrimage frame offers the possibility for comparison and contrast of characters and their interplay.4) Metrical SchemeThe metrical scheme of The Canterbury Tales is Chaucer’s chief contribution to English poetry. He is the poet who introduced to England the rhymed stanzas of many kinds from French poetry, especially the heroic couplet.2. What are the writing Features of Shakespeare?1) Shakespeare is one of the founders of realism in world literature. He faithfully and vividly reflects the major social contradictions of his time.2) The method of adoption from the plots of Greek legends, Roman history and Italian stories, etc.3) Elastic dramas: action develops freely, without the three unities of time, place and action. And there are many themes in one play.4) Poetic forms: the song, the sonnet, the couplet and the dramatic blank verse.5) Shakespeare was a great master of the English language: large vocabulary.。

英国文学简史Chapter 10-2 Percy Bysshe Shelley
Presented by WEI Jianhua
Percy Bysshe
Shelley
1. Introduction:
• Percy Bysshe Shelley is one of the leading Romantic poets, an intense & original lyrical(热情奔放的) poet in the English language.
"If winter es, can spring be far behind?"
• The poem is written in the terza rima (※三行体) form Shelley derived from his reading of Dante (但丁).The nervous thrill of Shelley's response to nature however is here transformed through the power of art & imagination into a longing to be united with a force at once physical and prophetic (预言的).
• 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.

• Textbook: A Short History of English Literature by Liubingshan Not merely satisfied with the textbook • Learning literature is much more than reading famous works or knowing some schools of literature: history, philosophy and theories of literature and art at least • Be an active reader: read, think and write sth on an author or work you are interested in most. • History, philosophy, psychology, aesthetics and other disciplines to help learn literature
Literature, a body of written works related by subject‐matter (e.g. the literature of computing), by language or place of origin (e.g. Russian literature), or by prevailing cultural standards of merit. In this last sense, „literature‟ is taken to include oral, dramatic, and broadcast compositions that may not have been published in written form but which have been (or deserve to be) preserved.

What is Literature?
• Literature is the art of written works, and is not bound to published sources (although, under circumstances unpublished sources can be exempt). Literally translated, the word literature means "acquaintance with letters" (as in the "arts and letters"). The two major classification of literature are poetry and prose. ----from Wikipedia
