Neo-classicism is revival of interest in the old classical works.According to theneo-classicists,all forms of literature werw to be modeled after the classical works of Greek and Roman writers and those of the contemporary French ones.They believed that the artisical ideals should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.This belief led them to seek proption,unity,harmony and grace in literary expression.Thus a polite,urbane,witty and intellectual art developed.2. The Waste Land has been hailed as a landmark and a model of the 20th century English poetry,comparable to Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads. With bold technical innovations in versification and style,the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a whole post-war generation. The poem is about the spiritual breakup of a modern civilization in which human life has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. It is regarded as a reflection of the 20th century people’s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.3. blank verse refers to unrhymed verse of iambic pentametre.4.Heroic couplet refers to two lines of iambic pentameter rhyming with each other.5. Sonnet is a lyric poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set rhyme-scheme There are 2 widely accepted rhyme-schemes:Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet and English (Shakespearean)sonnet.The former consists of a octave(abbaabba) and a sestet (cdecde,cdccdc or cdedce).The English is made up of 3 quatrains and an heroic couplet.It rhymes in ababcdcdefefgg.6. It is a literary movement in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning decade of the 20th century as a reaction to Romanticism.The realists holds that literature should be faithful to and write about the possibilty of reality.They on one hand expose the social problems,on the other hand, try to find solutions to the problems.Most of them are democratic social reformers.7. Dramatic monologue refers to a lyrical poem which reveals “a soul in action” through the conversation of one character in a dramatic situation. The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent lis tener at the dramatic moment of the speaker’s life.III.1.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is one of the most remarkable playwrightsand poets the world has ever known.With his 38 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems,he has established his giant position in world literature.The influence of Shakespeare upon British literature is hard to measure and it is not exegerated to say that all the writers after him have been influenced by him directly or indirectly.A. As a humanist, Shakepeare enthuiastically eulogizes humanity and writes in the spirit of Renaissance.He was against feudal tyranny ,religious persecution,racial discrimination,social inequality and the corrupting influence of money and gold.B. Shakespeare holds that literature should be a combination of beauty, kindness and truth,and should reflect nature and reality;he believes that only this kind of literature can reach immortality.C.Shakespeare is a great master of the English language2. This poem is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth’s poetic beliefs. In his eyes, nature is sublime and sacred and will exert a lasting influence upon a soul. The poem is a record of his sublime communion with nature .3. This novel is one of the best and most popular work by Hardy. It is a fierce attack on the hypocritical morality of the bourgeois society and the capitalist invasion into the country and destruction of the English peasantry towands the end of the century.Tess, as a pure woman, brought up with the traditional idea of womanly virtues, is abused and destroyed by both Alec and Angel, agents of the destructive force of the society. And the misery, the poverty and the heartfelt pain she suffers and her final tragedy give rise to a most bitter cry of protest and denunciation of the society.4. The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.Generally ,it refers to the period between the 14th and mid-17th centuries.It first started in Italy,with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature.From Italy the movement went to embrace the rest of Europe.The Renaissance ,which means rebirth or revival,is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discovery in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.The Renaissance,therefore,in essence ,is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas that expressed the interest of the rising bourgeeoisie,and to recover the purity of early church from the corruption of Roman Catholic Church.5. The poem is Eliot’s most striking early achievement. It presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage.The poem is in a form of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended “love song” and a confession of the speaker’s incapability facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. Prufrock, the protagonist of poem, is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a kind of tragic figure caught in asense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desires. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere.6. (main points)He reveals his sympathy for the poor woman in rural area.7. In his novels he writes about the dehumanization brought about by the industrial civilization and he believes that individual’s psychological development lies in the sexual impulse—Life Force. Consequently, he frequently touches upon the sexual relationship between man and woman in most of hios novels.8. see textbook.。

As a playwright，how different is Ben Johnson from Shakespeare?Johnson's theory of "humours" reduces his characters to types, who represent greed, vanity, falsehood, etc. They are flat, one-sided and have no development. Unlike him, Shakespeare digs deep into human nature and depicts the complexities of human relations. Also, Ben Johnson advocates classic Roman and Greek masters, strictly observes the three unities and disapproves of any mixture of the tragic with the comic, while Shakespeare creates according to his own judgment and the taste of the audience, and is very flexible in his handling of drama rules set by the predecessors.2. Please introduce the different periods of Shakespeare's literary career. Shakespeare's literary career may be divided into 3 major periods which represent respectively his early, mature and late period. In the first period(1590-1600)，he created mainly history plays and comedies: such as Henry IV, The Merchant of Venice and The Twelfth Night. The second period (1601-1608) is the one of great tragedies, namely Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and King Lear. In the last period (1609-1612), he wrote dramatic romances.3. Please translate the following soliloquyTo be, or not to be- that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortuneOr to take arms against a sea of troubles,And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heartache, and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish'd.To die- to sleep.To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause.生存还是毁灭，这是一个值得考虑的问题；默然忍受暴虐的命运矢石交攻，还是拿起武器勇对无涯的苦难，通过抗争把它们根除，这两种行为，哪一种更高贵？死，就是睡眠就结束了；如果睡眠能结束我们心灵的创伤和肉体所承受的千百种痛苦，那真是生存求之不得的天大的好事。

《英国文学》作业参考答案I.1.C2.A3.A4.B5.A6.C7.D8.D9.B 10.B11.A 12.C 13.D 14.C 15.A 16.B 17.B 18.B 19.C 20.A21.B 22.D 23.A 24.A 25.D 26.A 27.D 28.B 29.A 30.CII.1. Neo-classicism is revival of interest in the old classical works.According to theneo-classicists,all forms of literature werw to be modeled after the classical works of Greek and Roman writers and those of the contemporary French ones.They believed that the artisical ideals should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.This belief led them to seek proption,unity,harmony and grace in literary expression.Thus a polite,urbane,witty and intellectual art developed.2. The Waste Land has been hailed as a landmark and a model of the 20th century English poetry, parableto Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads. With bold technical innovations in versification and style,the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a whole post-war generation. The poem is about the spiritual breakup of a modern civilization in which human life has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. It is regarded as a reflection of the 20th century people’s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.3. blank verse refers to unrhymed verse of iambic pentametre.4.Heroic couplet refers to two lines of iambic pentameter rhyming with each other.5. Sonnet is a lyric poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set rhyme-schemeThere are 2 widely accepted rhyme-schemes:Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet and English (Shakespearean)sonnet.The former consists of a octave(abbaabba) and a sestet (cdecde,cdccdc or cdedce).The English is made up of 3 quatrains and an heroic couplet.It rhymes in ababcdcdefefgg.6. It is a literary movement in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning decade of the 20thcentury as a reaction to Romanticism.The realists holds that literature should be faithful to andwrite about the possibilty of reality.They on one hand expose the social problems,on the other hand,try to find solutions to the problems.Most of them are democratic social reformers.7. Dramatic monologue refers to a lyrical poem which reveals “a soul in action” through the conversation of one character in a dramatic situation. The character is speaking to an identifiablebut silent listener at the dramatic moment of the speaker’s life.III.1.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is one of the most remarkable playwrightsand poets the world hasever known.With his 38 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems,he has established his giant position inworld literature.The influence of Shakespeare upon British literature is hard to measure and it isnot exegerated to say that all the writers after him have been influenced by him directly or indirectly.A. As a humanist, Shakepeare enthuiastically eulogizes humanity and writes in the spirit of Renaissance.He was against feudal tyranny ,religious persecution,racial discrimination,social inequality and the corrupting influence of money and gold.B. Shakespeare holds that literature should be a bination of beauty, kindness and truth,and should reflect nature and reality;he believes that only this kind of literature can reach immortality.C.Shakespeare is a great master of the English language2. This poem is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth’s poetic belief s. In his eyes, nature is sublime and sacred and will exerta lasting influence upon a soul. The poem is a record of his sublime munion with nature .3. This novel is one of the best and most popular work by Hardy. It is a fierce attack on the hypocritical morality of the bourgeois society and the capitalist invasion into the country and destruction of the English peasantry towands the end of the century.Tess, as a pure woman, brought up with the traditional idea of womanly virtues, is abused and destroyed by both Alec and Angel, agents of the destructive force of the society. And the misery, the poverty and the heartfelt pain she suffers and her final tragedy give rise to a most bitter cry of protest and denunciation of the society.4. The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.Generally ,it refers to the period between the 14th and mid-17th centuries.It first started in Italy,with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature.From Italy the movement went to embrace the rest of Europe.The Renaissance ,which means rebirth or revival,is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discovery in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.The Renaissance,therefore,in essence ,is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas that expressed the interest of the rising bourgeeoisie,and to recover the purity of early church from the corruption of Roman Catholic Church.5. The poem is Eliot’s most striking early achievement. It presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage.The poem is in a form of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended “love song”and a confession of the speaker’s incapability facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. Prufrock, the protagonist of poem, is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a kind of tragic figure caught in asense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desires. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere.6. (main points)He reveals his sympathy for the poor woman in rural area.7. In his novels he writes about the dehumanization brought about by the industrial civilization and he believes that individual’s psychological dev elopment lies in the sexual impulse—Life Force. Consequently, he frequently touches upon the sexual relationship between man and woman in most of hios novels.8. see textbook.。

Neo-classicism is revival of interest in the old classical works.According to theneo-classicists,all forms of literature werw to be modeled after the classical works of Greek and Roman writers and those of the contemporary French ones.They believed that the artisical ideals should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.This belief led them to seek proption,unity,harmony and grace in literary expression.Thus a polite,urbane,witty and intellectual art developed.2. The Waste Land has been hailed as a landmark and a model of the 20th century English poetry,comparable to Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads. With bold technical innovations in versification andstyle,the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a wholepost-war generation. The poem is about the spiritual breakup of a modern civilization in which humanlife has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. It is regarded as a reflection of the 20th century people’s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.3. blank verse refers to unrhymed verse of iambic pentametre.4.Heroic couplet refers to two lines of iambic pentameter rhyming with each other.5. Sonnet is a lyric poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set rhyme-schemeThere are 2 widely accepted rhyme-schemes:Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet and English (Shakespearean)sonnet.The former consists of a octave(abbaabba) and a sestet (cdecde,cdccdc or cdedce).The English is made up of 3 quatrains and an heroic couplet.It rhymes in ababcdcdefefgg.6. It is a literary movement in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning decade of the 20thcentury as a reaction to Romanticism.The realists holds that literature should be faithful to andwrite about the possibilty of reality.They on one hand expose the social problems,on the other hand,try to find solutions to the problems.Most of them are democratic social reformers.7. Dramatic monologue refers to a lyrical poem which reveals “a soul in action” through the conversation of one character in a dramatic situation. The character is speaking to an identifiablebut silent lis tener at the dramatic moment of the speaker’s life.III.1.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is one of the most remarkable playwrightsand poets the world hasever known.With his 38 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems,he has established his giant position inworld literature.The influence of Shakespeare upon British literature is hard to measure and it isnot exegerated to say that all the writers after him have been influenced by him directly or indirectly.A. As a humanist, Shakepeare enthuiastically eulogizes humanity and writes in the spirit of Renaissance.He was against feudal tyranny ,religious persecution,racial discrimination,social inequality and the corrupting influence of money and gold.B. Shakespeare holds that literature should be a combination of beauty, kindness and truth,and shouldreflect nature and reality;he believes that only this kind of literature can reach immortality.C.Shakespeare is a great master of the English language2. This poem is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes usto the core of Wordsworth’s poetic beliefs. In his eyes, nature is sublime and sacred and willexert a lasting influence upon a soul. The poem is a record of his sublime communion with nature .3. This novel is one of the best and most popular work by Hardy. It is a fierce attack on the hypocritical morality of the bourgeois society and the capitalist invasion into the country and destruction of the English peasantry towands the end of the century.Tess, as a pure woman, broughtup with the traditional idea of womanly virtues, is abused and destroyed by both Alec and Angel,agents of the destructive force of the society. And the misery, the poverty and the heartfelt painshe suffers and her final tragedy give rise to a most bitter cry of protest and denunciation of the society.4. The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.Generally ,it refers to the period between the 14th and mid-17th centuries.It first started in Italy,with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature.From Italy the movement went to embrace the rest of Europe.The Renaissance ,which means rebirth or revival,is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discovery in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.The Renaissance,therefore,in essence ,is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas that expressed the interest of the rising bourgeeoisie,and to recover the purity of early church from the corruption of Roman Catholic Church.5. The poem is Eliot’s most striking early achievement. It presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage.The poem is in a form of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended “love song”and a confession of the speaker’s incapability facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. Prufrock, the protagonist of poem, is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a kind of tragic figure caught in asense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desires. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere.6. (main points)He reveals his sympathy for the poor woman in rural area.7. In his novels he writes about the dehumanization brought about by the industrial civilization and he believes that individual’s psychological development lies in the sexual impulse—Life Force. Consequently, he frequently touches upon the sexual relationship between man and woman in most of hios novels.8. see textbook.。

Oh, I wasn"t touched. I was fascinated.

Comment on the following excerpt and write a 100-word essay on it.(10 points)But there is ofculture another view, in which not solely the scientific passion, the sheer desire to see things as they are, natural and proper in an intelligent being, appears as the ground of it. There is a view in which all the love of our neighbour, the impulses towards action, help, and beneficence, the desire for stopping human error, clearing human confusion, and diminishing the sum of human misery, the noble aspiration to leave the world better and happier than we found it, —motives eminently such as are called social, —come in as part of the grounds of culture, and the main and pre-eminent part. Culture is then properly described not as having its origin in curiosity, but as having its origin in the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection. It moves by the force, not merely or primarily of the scientific passion for pure knowledge, but also of the moral and social passion for doing good. As, in the first view of it, we took for its worthy motto Montesquieu"s words; "To render an intelligent being yet more intelligent!" so, in the second view of it, there is no better motto which it can have than these words of Bishop Wilson; " To make reason and the will of God prevail!"Only, whereas the passion for doing good is apt to be overhasty in determining what reason and the will of God say, because its turn is for acting rather than thinking, and it wants to be beginning to act; and whereas it is apt to take its own conceptions, which proceed from its own state of development and share in all the imperfections and immaturities of this, for a basis of action; what distinguishes culture is, that it is possessed by the scientific passion, as well as by the passion of doing good; that it has worthy notions of reason and the will of God, and does not readily suffer its own crude conceptions to substitute themselves for them; and that, knowing that no action or institution can be salutary and stable which are; not based on reason and the will of God, it is not so bent no acting and instituting, even with the great aim of diminishing human error and misery ever before its thoughts, but that it can remember that acting and instituting are of little use, unless we know how and what we ought to act and to institute.From Matthew Arnold"s Culture and Anarchy。

Steps for Close Reading or Explication de texte:Patterns, polarities, problems, paradigm, puzzles, perceptionAn explication de texte (cf. Latin explicare, to unfold, to fold out, or to make clear the meaning of) is a finely detailed, very specific examination of a short poem or short selected passage from a longer work, in order to find the focus or design of the work, either in its entirety in the case of the shorter poem or, in the case of the selected passage, the meaning of the microcosm, containing or signaling the meaning of the macrocosm (the longer work of which it is a part).Close Reading or Explication de texte operates on the premise that literature, as artifice, will be more fully understood and appreciated to the extent that the nature and interrelations of its parts are perceived, and that that understanding will take the form of insight into the theme of the work in question. This kind of work must be done before you can begin to appropriate any theoretical or specific literary approach.Textual explication FormatI. 1. Brief, relevant history of poem and poet2. [Read the poem] Re-state/parse the poemII. Form:1. Meter, rhyme scheme, stress2. Special characteristics if any [e.g. alliteration, personification, metaphor, etc.], and their importance to meaning.III. Content:1. theme2. Your individual understanding of the poem-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sample Textual explicationJohn Lyly (1554-1606), “Cupid and My Campaspes”Cupid and my Campaspe playedAt cards for kisses; Cupid paid.He stakes his quiver, bows, and arrows.His mother’s doves and team of sparrows,Loses them too; then down he throwsThe coral of his lips, the roseGrowing on’s cheek (but none knows how),With these the crystal of his brow,And then the dimple of his chin:All these did my Campaspe win.At last he set her both his eyes;She won, and Cupid blind did rise.Oh Love! Has she done this to thee?What shall, alas, become of me?I. John Lyly was an English writer, poet, dramatist, playwright, and politician, best known for his books Euphues, The Anatomy of Wit (1578) and Euphues and His England (1580). Lyly's literary style, originating in his first books, is known as euphuism. John Lyly produced hiscomedy Campaspe in 1584. Campaspe was Alexander the Great's mistress. She was famously painted by a number of ancient painters. "Campaspe" eventually became a generic name for a man's mistress in poetry.2. ParseCupid plays cards with my lover in order to win kisses, but he keeps losing. He risks his quiver, bows, arrows, his mother Venus’ doves and team of sparrows for the game, but loses all the stuff. Then, my lover wins all of his godlike good looks (his red lips, the red flush on his cheek, his fine brow, his dimple and his eyes). Finally, Cupid has to quit the game and flies awaywithout eyes (this explains why love is blind). Oh, the god of love, Cupid! Has my lover done this to you? Are you blind? Alas, if that is the case, what shall happen to me?II. Form:1.This poem contains fourteen lines of iambic tetrameter rimed aa bb cc dd ee ff gg, withexceptions occur in line 1 ' U/ U' / U' / U' (Cupid and my Campaspe played), line 5 ' U/ U' / U' / U' (Loses them too; then down he throws) and line 7 ' U/ U' / U' / U' (Growing on’s cheek but none knows how).2.There are three unusual features in this poem: the enjambment that occurs between line 5 andline 6 (Loses them too; then down he throws/ The coral of his lips, the rose) as well as line 6 and line 7(The coral of his lips, the rose/ Growing on’s cheek (but none knows how)); the caesura occurs in line 2 and line 13; and the personification of love that occurs at the last couplet.III. Content:1. themeThe theme of the poem is ‘the blindness of love’. The poet stresses the power of love through an imagined game in which the lover of ‘I’ beats Cupid in a card game, and thus expresses his feeling of being overwhelmed by love and not able to escape from the charm of his lover. If this woman is able to so completely dominate a GOD, how can the poet resist her power and charms?2. EvaluationThis poem applies excellent imagination and personification to achieve the purpose of influencing the reader. This is similar to Drayton’s‘since there’s no help, come let us kiss and part,’ in which personification and imagination are highly exposed. And this poem is that Lyly amusingly combines the classical (Campaspe, Cupid) with the contemporary (gambling).。

A stranger game of exchanging gifts happens between the host and his guest. Andthe latter resists all temptations from the wife but one, which is a green girdle with the power to save life. At last, when Gawain meets the green knight who turns out to be the host of the castle and the two reaches an understanding for the virtue and pardonable weakness Gawain has. Theme: the story well exhibits the conflict between the knighthood and chivalric codes that a knight is supposed to follow and man’s instinct to preserve his life. Sir Gawain has proved his virtues as a noble knight in his taking the challenge and fulfilling the promise and his pardonable weakness when his life is at stake.What do you know about Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales? Geoffrey Chaucer tries to represent the wide sweep of English life by gathering a motley company together and letting each class of society tell its own favorite stories. The Canterbury Tales has given us a picture of contemporary English life, its work and play, its deeds and dreams, its fun and sympathy and hearty joy of living.Sonnet 18 compares the poet’s beloved one to summer and then argues that beauty like that of summers cannot last. His way of keeping youth and beauty eternal is to record his beloved image in his poem which he believes has ever-lasting value. The poem shows his poet’s confidence in his artistic talent and his belief in the permanence of art.English Renaissance originally indicated a revival of classical arts and sciences after the dark ages of medieval obscurantism. Indeed, a greatnumber of the words of classical authors were translated into English during the 16th century. The study and propagation of classical learning and art was carried on by the progressive thinkers of the humanists. They held their chief interest not in ecclesiastical knowledge, but in man, his environment and doings and bravely fought for the emancipation of man from the tyranny of the church and religious dogmas.Hamlet the most popular among Shakespeare tragedies, tells of a story of murder and revenge the happen in the court. Hamlet’s father is poisoned to death by his brother who takes the throne and marries the queen. After convinced of the murder case, hamlet the prince, who is more a thinker than a knight, manages to kill the murder in the end, but at the cost of his own life.The Merchant of Venice is a story that happens to a Jew called Shylock, a money lender, know for his greed and cruelty, and his Christian enemies in the city of Venice.

His revenge was understandable and his role as a father as a loving one.The writing characteristics of John DonneJohn Donne’s poetry typically displays the characteristics of metaphysical poems. They frequently employ the use of conceit, and are often close to common speech and in the form of argument, sometimes with a friend, or lady, or the pet himself, but these arguments follow good logic and reasoning. Very often, these poems are not as musical as those poems favored by the public.Paradise Lost theme: It is an epic poem that well illustrates the rebellious spirit. Milton need to see and is willing to encourage, he advocates the will of resistance and asks people never to surrender to tyranny. Brief introduction: how Satan rebelled against God and how Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden.Vanity Fair，the best known episode in John Bunyan’s. the Pilgrim’s Progress, is an allegory of universal spiritual significance. The phrase means a market in which worthless things are sold, but these worthless things which are bought and sold refer to fames and profits; therefore, itis a fine satire towards the contemporary England.Lady Sneer and Mr. Snake are typical of peoplein the upper class. They are vain, hypocritic, without moral standards and mannersThe School for Scandal theme: The play is a hot satire on the morals and manners of the upper class in the 18th century of England.A Modest Proposal His proposal was that, the poor people of Ireland in the danger of starving to death as a result of harsh exploits by the English, could well nurse their babies, and them sell them to the rich English for food. The author’s real proposing is to expose the fact that the English are devouring the Irish socially, and economically.Tom Jones is a foundling raised by Mr. Allworthy, an English country squire.

The story recounts Gulliver’s bizarre journey and adventure from Lilliputian, Brobdingag, Laputa and last, Huymhumns. Each of the adventures has specific target of ridicule, with the last one being the harshest, for it defines human as the meanest animal living on the earth.Romanticism: flourished in the first half of the 19th century, beginning with the publication of Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads, ending with Walter Scott’s death. It appeared as a reactiong against the curel realities of the capitalist society where peasants were living a harsh life while bourgeois people were having their luxurious life. Romanticists resorted to emotion and nature or their passion to resolve the social contradictions. One group, represented by William Wordsworth, asked people to go to nature, to be fully embraced by nature’s grace and to find comfort in the divine power of nature; another group, embodied by Shelley and Byron, believed that passion and revolution can erase the evil from the face of earth, and purge the world of all sins. Their poems were passionate enough to spark the revolutionary spirit in common people. Among the romanticists, John Keats stood aloof from his fellow poets. With his advocate of “beautify is truth, truth is beauty.” He anticipate what was named “art for art’s sake.”An artistic movement that seeped Europe in the end of 19 century. William Wordsworth was one of the greastest poet in the history of English literature. Romanticism in England began when his Lyrical Ballads was published in 1798, and he himself later was appointed as the poet laureate, a great honor for a living poet. It was Wordsworth and his friend, called the trend in literature. As a poet, William Wordsworth made immense contributions to literature by his emphasis on use of plain English and the healing power of nature, which are fully displayed in hispoems. Such as I Wanderde Lonely as a Cloud, The Solitary Reaper, and so on. His poems were mostly devoted to the landless peasants, giving them deep sympathies, also, his poetic language was a refined form of the rural speech used by the peasants. As a result, his style was characterized by simplicity and purity, appealing widely to the people of different walks of England. Last but not least, Wordsworth was know as a worshipper of nature in his exquisite description of rivers, woods, skies and clouds, on can see his love of nature and understands his idea that nature provides a comforting source for the soul.Sonnet on Chillon was written in praise of liberty, in praise of those who remained true to the ideals of freedom even when persecuted by their oppressors.Jane Austen completed six novels, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Manfield Park, and Emma. Each is perfect, and there is no choosing between them for one who enjoys her quiet irony and her simple delicate analysis of character. There are no heroic passiona or astounding adventures. And in all her novels the love-making of her young people, though serious and sympathetic, is subduced by humor to the ordinary plane of emotion on which most of us live. She was the founder of the novel which deals with unimportant middle-class people and of which there are many fine examples in latter English fiction. Her style is easy and effortless, a perfect example ofclean and clear English.She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways is written in memory of a girl who lived and died unknown, but the poet looks at her as bright star, and the loss is incalculable.The Isles of Greece contrasts the freedom the ancient Creeks enjoyed and the current slavery the Greeks had, and inspires the Greeks to fight for their liberty and freedomWuthering Heights is a highly passionate story that many critics believe has reached the height of Shakespearean tragedy. Heathchiff, a gypsy raise by kind Mr. Earnshaw grows up in the Earnshaw family together with Catherine, with whomhe develops an ardent love, and Hindley, who reduces Heathcliff to a house-servent after the father’s death, thereby making his sister’s union with Heathcliff impossible. Severly hurt in his self –esteem, Heathcliff runs away on hearing Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar Linton, a gentle young man of property living nearby. Three years later, Heathcliff returns and has become rich and starts his revenge. Catherine dies in child-birth as a result of being on between her love for Heathcliff and her affection for Linton. Yet, Heathcliff continues his revenge on the second generation and forces little Cathy to marry his feeble and weak son, little Heathcliff and robs her of everything after the young husband dies. When Hareton, Hindley’s son, serving as a servant under Heathcliff, begins a love affair with little Cathys, Heathcliffrealizes the futility of his revenge and dies, his soul found wandering with that of Cathering’s in Wuthering Heights.Jane Eyre is a novel that has many autobiographical elements in it. Jane is an orphan raised by her aunt who maltreats and sends her to a boarding school after Jane’s fight with her son. Jane receives education at the school and alter graduation, becomes a governess in Thomfield Park, where she falls in love with her master Mr. Rochester.

外院0903班周旭学号020901104A Broken Romantic Dream-----Araby （by James Joyce）James Joyce's Dubliners consist of three short stories. In my own opinion, Araby is the best. It mainly describes a young boy's romantic dream. It's a rich symbolic story.The author gives the story as the first person. It was set in a dark, gloomy background in Dublin. The boy in the story loves a neighboring girl called Mangan's sister secretly. He stares at her from his window or follow her on the street. He even often thinks of her in the place which is most hostile to romance. “My eyes were often full of tears and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom.” perfectly describe the deep love of the young boy.The pure love to Mangan’s si ster made him decide to find a good present for her in Araby, where Mangan’s sister recommended him to go. But the boy's uncle forgets the promise that he will give money to the boy and late for home. Almost until night, he begins to run to the Araby with anxiety. It was dark when he arrived there. A weary-looking man was at the entrance to bazaar. The woman spoke to him just like it is a duty and her voice was not encouraging, then she turned to two young men. At the moment, the boy felt nothing but disapp ointment. The boy’s dream was smashed into pieces. He didn’t know where to go, what to do. He couldnever live innocently as he used be, because he was in half-awake condition and he used be so approach to the truth.In the story the young boy was not only full of irritation, but also much more painful. At the end, the theme of the whole story finally emerged. People feel painful when faced a change. Will the boy go on his suffering? No matter how, I’m certain that the boy had woken up from the dream and grown up towards maturity. When he discovers the difference between fantasy and reality, perhaps we also hope that, in the future, he will learn to love real people instead of the idealized versions of them he creates in his head.In the novel Araby, James Joyce used large amounts of symbolic imageries to create a typical setting, help the plots develop .We can find many symbolisms in this story.1. Araby .In the novel, of course, the word “Araby” plays the most important role, as it is the title word. And Araby is a bazaar where Mangan’s sister recommended me to go.As I know from the internet Araby is an old name for Arab. So, in the story, it “cast an Eastern enchantment over me”. I t is obvious that the boy had a strong desire to go there. So we can conclude that because Araby is a dream new world for the boy, as Mangan’s sister guild the boy there.2 Blind. The word “blind” appear ed several times in the story. In my opinion, The North Richard Street was “blind”, so the boy used it to hidehimself fr om being seen by Mangan’s sister. T he blind here means that the street is closed. Because it’s a blind street, people in the street are difficult to communicate with the people outside. So I think it indicates the situation of Dublin. But the people are all pleased and satisfied with the situation. So the boy wished to get away from it. Besides that, there is another “blind”. it is a noun, because of it, Mangan’s sister couldn’t see me. It prevented me from seeing her clearly. This indicates that the boy’s dream was just a childish dream3 The North Richmond Street. The street was dark. And the surroundings were very unpleasant to the boy. As James Joyce himself said, the main theme of the story in Dubliners was paralysis. And the condition of the North Richmond Street was a good proof for it. He said all the streets were almost the same. So Joyce turned to get rid of the unpleasant thing in Ireland. So do the boy in the novel. So the street was a symbol for the whole Ireland.5. The priest. At the beginning of the story, it inferred that a priest had been a tenant of the boy’s home. “He had been a very charitable priest”, and he “had left all his money to the institutions and the furniture of his house to his sister”. So, it is not hard to understand, the priest is a symbol of the good citizens of Dublin.Except the symbols mentioned above, there are still many other symbols in the novel. For example, “a central apple tree” in a “wildgarden behind the house”.It may stand the love of the boy for the sister.etc.The writing style of Araby is very exquisite, just like the style of Gustave Flaubert, Joyce is good at setting proper background, to create symbols. He is famous for the using of “stream of consciousness” method in his works. We can see a lot in the story, which were created by Joyce. For such a short story, it gives several themes: first of all it is the coming of age. As everyone getting older, we will face more worries; secondly, it is the loss of innocence. It is also because of the age, we may lose our innocence; lastly and most importantly, the pain that when we learn that what we were told about love, through the books we read and the stories we are told, is largely fiction.Although it is a short novel, it has enough rich content. The content mentioned above is the combination of the work itself, the knowledge from the internet and my own thought.。
