EL-chapter16Addison,Steel,Swift

– It is the expression of Swift's indignation toward the terrible oppression and exploitation of the Irish people by the English ruling class. Assuming the cool tone of an impartial outsider, the author suggests that children of the poor Irish people be sold at one year old as food for the English nobles. The apparent eagerness and sincerity add force to the bitter irony and biting sarcasm.
– Editor of The Examiner, the official Tory organ, a zealous and potent spokesman for the party
– Becoming the dean of St. Patrick's in Dublin – A leader of Irish resistance against English oppression and a national hero in Ireland
– Suffering humiliation and poverty while living under the roof of a noble family – Cultivating his lifelong sympathy and warmth for the unfortunate and the poor – Meeting Esther Johnson, educating her, forming her character, and later coming to love her – Writing the famous journal letters, The Journal to Stella

黑客与画家

黑客与画家
件的未来寄托在
少数聪明人身上, 不如把软件设计让一个委员会来作, 程序员只管编码实现

如果你想赚钱, 那么记住我的话, 因为我讲的, 正是小公司取胜的机会。大
公司采取保险的
做法, 意图规避风险。但是试图限制这种工作效果上的震荡的时候, 固然避
免了最坏的可能,
但也失去了最好的。这对大公司当然不是问题, 大公司取胜的原因不是因为
有影响的朋友都死了,他的追随者也都死了才行。
我想黑客不得不接受名声上的不确定性,这一点上, 他们和其他创造者没什
么不同。实际上比较起来还要幸运一些。在编程领域,一时的流行风气虽然
也有影响,但没有绘画领域那么大。
还有比别人的误解更糟的事情。更糟的危险是你可能自己误解自己。你通常
在相关领域寻找灵感。如果你在计算机系,很自然地会以为,编程的本质就
间复杂度,知道图灵机模型。也许应当知道状态机,至少知道这个概念,如
果要写语法解析或者正则表达式库的时候会用得到。画家对颜料的学问上,
要记的东西比这还要多一些呢。
对我来说,灵感的源泉不是来自于那些挂着计算机招牌的地方,而是那些聚
集着创造者的地方。我从绘画方面得到的灵感比我从计算机理论上得到的,
我认为这个难题的答案, 是创造者们应当找一个养家糊口的"日常工作"。这
个名词最初是惯
于晚上演出的音乐家们使用的。它的意思是: 你做一个工作是为了赚钱, 另
一个工作是因为
你喜欢。
几乎所有的创造者在他们职业生涯的早期, 都有日常工作。其中最为人所知
的就是画家和作
家。如果能赚钱的日常工作刚好是你所喜爱的工作, 那你就太幸运了。音乐

Joseph Addison and Richard Steele教学大纲

Joseph Addison and Richard Steele教学大纲

Joseph Addison and Richard SteeleA man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart.人首先注意的是避免受到自己良心的谴责。

——Joseph Addison 约瑟夫·艾迪生Something about Addison and SteeleAddison and Steele(1) Joseph Addison: studies at Oxford, secretary of state, created a literary periodical “Spectator” (with Steele, 1711)(2) Richard Steele: poet, playwright, essayist, publisher of newspaper.Addison and Steele were born in the same year, attended the same school and later studied at the same university.In 1709 Steele started a literary periodical named“The Tatler”. In 1711, Addison collaborated withSteele to create a literary periodical called “The Spectator”, in which Addison wrote 236 essays. "The Tatler""The Tatler" was published three times a week. It became widely read in London, especially in clubs and coffeehouses. The paper became extremely popular because it was just the sort of thing that suited the needs of the reading public among the bourgeoisie."The Spectator""The Spectator", a daily paper, was a collaborative project by Addison and Steele together. It was much more important than "The Tatler" not only because it dealt with a wide range of subjects and was written in a mature style but because it contained a gallery of vivid portraits of the members of the so-called "Spectator Club"."The Spectator" is a daily paper supposed to be edited by a small club headed by Mr. Spectator, who is a man of travel and learning and who often goes to London as an observer. The club also includes Sir Roger de Coverley, who represents the country gentry, Sir Andrew Freeport, Captain Sentry and Will Honeycomb, who represent respectively commerce, the army and the townsfolk. All the members of this club represent the contemporary social types.The significance of their essaysa. Their writings in “The Tatler”, and “The Spectator” provide a new code of social morality for the rising bourgeoisie.b. They give a true picture of the social life of England in the 18th century.c. In their hands, the English essay completely established itself as a literary genre. Using it as a form of character sketching and story telling, they ushered in the dawn of the modern novel.。

That is why the 18th century has often been called “the age of reason” or “the kingdom of reason”.Most of the enlighteners believed that social problems could be solved by human intelligence.this period was characterized by the so-called neo-classicism of which the leading figure was Alexander Pope.The representative of Periodical Literature in Early 18th Century England: Addison and SteeleThe best part of Robinson Crusoe is the realistic account of the successful struggle of Robinson alone against the pitiless forces of nature on the island.A social fable consists of four books.

It comes from human interest in telling a story, in arranging words in artistic forms, in describing in words some aspects of human experiences.2What is Renaissance?1. DefinitionThe Renaissance (14th – mid-17th century), which means rebirth and revival. The renaissance, therefore, in essence, is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars tried to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe, to introduce new ideas that expressed the interests rising bourgeoisie, and to recover the purity of the early church from the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church(罗马天主教堂).It is characterized with the growth of a more scientific outlook, major development in art and literature, new invention and overseas discoveries and a general assertion of human value and emancipation(解放) of the human intellect and power.3Summarize the periods of Shakespeare’s literary career and achievements?Shakespeare’s Literary Career⏹Four successive periods with increasing maturity◆1588-1593, the Period of Experiment and Preparation●Richard III, a melodramatic chronicle-history play, largely imitative of Marlowe and yet showing striking power●At the end of this period Shakespeare issued two rather long narrative poems on classical subjects, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece◆1594-1601, the second period Shakespeare’s work, filled with chronicle-history plays and comedies●Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, etc.●Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado about Nothing, As You Like It●Romeo and Juliet◆1601-1609, the third period of Shakespeare’s literary career, in which appeared Shakespeare’s great tragedies and certain cynical plays●In these plays, Shakespeare sets himself to grapple with the deepest and darkest problems of human characters and life●Shakespeare’s four great tragedies⏹Hamlet: the struggle of a perplexed and divided soul/self⏹Othello: the ruin of a noble life/ man by an evil one through the terrible power of jealousy⏹King Lear: unnatural ingratitude working its hateful will and yetthwarted at the end by its own excess and by faithful love⏹Macbeth: the destruction of a large nature by material ambition◆After 1609, the fourth period of Shakespeare’s literary career, a periodof romance-comedies●Shakespeare did not solve the insoluble problems of life, but having presented them as powerfully, perhaps, as is possible for human intelligence, he turned in his last period to the expression of the serene philosophy of life●Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest(1) Shakespeare is one of the founders of realism in world literature. He maintains that the purpose of dramatic performance is "to hold, as it were, the mirror up to nature". In his works, he paints the decline of the old feudal nobility and the vice of the new Tudor monarch. Besides,his plays have good plots and life-like characters too. His dramais an expression, a monument of the English Renaissance since he wrote about his own people for his own time.(2)Shakespeare is amazingly prolific Within 22 years, he produced 37 plays, 154 sonnets,and 2 long poems. No two of his play invoke the same feeling or image among the audience. He is a master-hand for every form of drama-comedy, tragedy, and historical plays. He gives us a world of full-blooded people who live and struggle, suffer and rejoice-representing all the complexitiesand implications of real life.(3)Shakespeare was skilled in many poetic forms: the song, the sonnet, the couplet, andthe dramatic blank verse. And he is a great master of the English language. He used avocabularylarger than any other English writersMany ofhis new coinage and turns of expressions havebecome every-day usage in English life. Shakespeare and the Authorized Version of the EnglishBible are the two great treasures of the English language.(4)Hence, Shakespeare has been universallyacknowledged to be the summit of the English Renaissance, and one of the greatest writers the world over.3Chaucer’s Contribution?1. He introduced from Italy and France the rhymed stanza of various types, especially the rhymed couplet of 5 accents in iambic meter (heroic couplet) to English poetry, instead of the old Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse.2. He was the first great poet who wrote in English language (Middle English), thus establishing English as the literary language.3. He did much in making the London dialect the foundation for modern English language4What is the Enlightenment Movement?The 18th century marked the beginning of an intellectual movement in Europe, known as the Enlightenment, which was, on the whole, an expression of struggle of the bourgeoisie against feudalism. The enlighteners fought against class inequality, stagnation, prejudices and other survivals of feudalism.What is romanticism? What about its feature?1. The general feature is a dissatisfaction with the bourgeois society.2. Their writings are filled with strong-willed heroes or even titanic images, formidable events and tragic situations, powerful conflicting passions andexotic pictures.3. The romanticists paid great attention to the spiritual andemotional life of man.Personified nature plays an important role in the pages of their works.文学赏析Beowulf:---national epic(1) Goodness conquers evil. (Beowulf stands for all that is good, brave and proper, while the monsters stand for evil.)(2) Men against nature (The poem presents a vivid picture of how the primitive people wage heroic struggles against the hostile forces of the natural world under a wise and mighty leader.)(3) Judge the greatness of a human being by the greatness of his deeds and his noble ancestry.(4) Help thy neighbor. (Beowulf risks his life to help a neighbor, King Hrothgar, in trouble.)(5) Forces of darkness—irrational, menacing—are always at work in society.The writing features of Beowulf1). The most important is in alliterative(头韵的) verse and in artistic form.2). Another is the frequent use of metaphorsand understatements(暗含的意义) forironical humor.The Faerie(Fairy) Queene and Commentsa long poem1 The dominating thoughts of it: nationalism, humanism and Puritanism2 The Spenserian stanza: a verse form consisting of 8 iambic pentameter lines followed by a ninth line of 6 iambic feet with the rhyme scheme ababbcbcc.3 The Faerie Queene is the first national epic of England in the age of the Renaissance. It expresses the poet’s patriotic feelings of national greatness, and voices the moral ideals of the English aristocracy as embodied in the noble, virtuous and brave knight.The Image of Hamlet1. He is a humanist free from medievalprejudice and superstition. He has love for the world rather than heaven, he cherishes a firm belief in man’s power and destiny.2. He loves good and hates evil. He adore his father, loves Ophelia and greets his school-fellows with hearty welcome, while he is disgusted withhis uncle’s drunkenness and shocked by his mother’s shallowness3. His intellectual genius is outstanding. He is a close observer. He can easily see through people. His quick perception drives him to penetrate below the surface of things and question what others take for granted. He is scholar, soldier and statesman. His image reflects the versatility of the men of the Renaissance.The Merchant of V eniceThe traditional themeTo praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty, wit and loyalty, and to expose the insatiable greed and brutality of the Jew.The modern interpretationTo regard the play as a satire of the Christians’hypocrisy and their false standards of friendship and love, their cunning ways of pursuing worldliness and their unreasoning prejudice against Jews, here represented by ShylockParadise lost1. The theme of the poem is a revolt against God’s aut hority.2. God: selfish despot暴君,cruel, unjust3. Adamand Eve embody Milton’s belief in the powers of man, craving (longing) for knowledge4. God’s angels are foolish, resembling the court of an absolute monarch.5. Satan is a rebel against tyranny(专制,暴行) and Satan and his followers resemble arepublican ParliamentThe Image of Satan1. Satan is the real hero of the poem.2. He is firmer than the rest of the angels.3. He has an invincible(战无不胜的) heart.4. Satan remains superior in nobility and welcomes his defeat and his torments as a glory, a liberty and a joy;5. Satan is the spirit questioning the authority of God.6. Milton makes Satan as his own mouthpiece(代言人).The Pilgrim’s ProgressBunyan’s language1.Bunyan’s language is chiefly plain and collo quial and quite modern in comparison with that of the writers of the Renaissance.2. His language is clear, vivid, natural, homely (朴实的), fluent, musical and powerful.3. He paved the way not only in language style but also in writing technique of novels, for the novelists of the 18th century as Swift and Defoe.The image of Robinson Crusoe1.One of the representative of the rising bourgeoisie2. An enterprising Englishman3. A laborer, a hard-working industrious and intelligent man.4. A typical colonizer, explorer, and a foreign trader.5.He is alert, vigorous and resourcefulBlake’s poems such as tiger 《老虎》and comments on Blank(1) Blake’s poems seem easy but difficult to understand for his mmysterious images andsymbols, unless versed in ( skilled at )religious knowledge.(2) Blake’s poems are full of emotionandapparentpresentation of his progressive democratic idea in symbolismComments1) Blake was opposed to the classicism of the 18th century.2) His poems were full of romantic spirit, imagery symbolism and revolutionary spirit.3) He was a Pre-Romanticist or forerunner of the romantic poetry of the 19th century.Comments on Burns & His Poems1. Burns was one of the most famous poetsof the peasants in the world.2. He obtained the characteristic of all old Scottish songs: simplicity, vividness, humor, directness and optimism, with anew spirit of romanticism.Explanation William Wordsworth poem i wandered lonely【赏析】:这首诗写于诗人从法国回来不久。

英国文学名词解释

Comments on Wordsworth Wordsworth saw nature and man with new eyes. Wordsworth’s poetry is distinguished by the simplicity and purity of his language. Nearly all of his good poetry was written during the first decade of his literary career . His later writings were full of mysticism and many of them unreadable.Comments on Coleridge Coleridge wrote with excellent style techniques. He is a medievalist, fond of the unusual and supernatural things. His imaginative power is intense and his language melodious.Coleridge was the first critic of the romantic school. According to Coleridge, the poet was a creator and critic was an assistant in the work of creation. Just like Wordsworth he became conservative in thinking in his later years. Don Juan was written in Italy during 1818-1823. It consists of sixteen cantos,16,000 lines long, and written in ottava rima, each stanza containing 8 iambic pentameter lines rhymed abababcc. Actually it is not just a poem, but a sort of a novel in verse. It has been regarded as Byron’s masterpiece. Don Juan was written in the prime of Byron’s creative power. His aim in writing it was “to remove the cloke (=cloak) which the manners and maxims of high society throw over their secret sins, and shew (=show) them to the world as they really are”. He called this poem an “epic satire”, “a satire on abuses of the present state of society”. “Almost all Don Juan,” he wrote, “is real life, either my own, or from people I know”. In Don Juan Byron displayed his genius as a romanticist and a realist simultaneously.Comments on Byron Byron is one of the most excellent representatives of English Romanticism. His literary career was closely linked with the struggle and progressive movements of his age. He praised the people’s revolutionary struggles in his works. His poems show energy and vigor, romantic daring and powerful passion.Some of his poems show Byron’s individual heroism and pessimism.Comments on Shelley Shelley loved the people and hated their oppressors and exploiters. He called on the people to overthrow the rule of tyranny and injustice and prophesied a happy and free life for mankind. He stood for the social and political ideal all his life. He and Byron are justifiably regarded as the two great poets of revolutionary romanticism in England.With the deep insight of a proletarian revolutionary teacher, Marx pointed out: “The real difference between Byron and Shelley is this: Those who understand them and love them consider it fortunate that Byron died at thirty-six, because if he had lived longer he would have become a reactionary bourgeois. On the other hand they grieved that Shelley died at twenty-nine, because he was essentially a revolutionist and he would always have belonged to the vanguard of socialism. Comments on John Keats Keats learned the art of poetry mainly from the poets of the English Renaissance. His literary creation was a clean split with 18th century classicism. The one artistic aim in his poetry was always to create a beautiful world of imagination as opposed to the sordid reality of his day. His leading principle is: “Beauty is truth, truth in beauty”. His poetry is distinguished by sensuousness and the perfection of form. Some of his poems touch upon the burning political problems his day. He showed his dissatisfaction with the society and described the sufferings of the poor people. Features of Richardson’s Novels Richardson is the first novelist of sentimentalist tradition. His novels have a moral purpose. Richardson is an outstanding novelist because he had much sympathy for women in their inferior social status and entered into detailed psychological study of female characters.All of his novels are written in the form of letters. He was the master of writing epistolary novels.Features of Lamb’s Essays The most striking feature of his essays is his humor. Lamb was especially fond of old writers. His essays are intensely personal. Lamb was a romanticist, seeking a free expression of his own personality and weaving romance into the daily life.Comments on Hazlitt As a prose writer, Hazlitt ranks high in English literature. W.E. Henley (1849—1903) has made an interesting comparison between Lamb and Hazlitt, saying “The best of it all (i. e. the best of English prose of the early 19th century), perhaps, is the best of Lamb. But Hazlitt’s for different qualities, is so eminent and shining a second that I hesitate as to the pre-eminency. Probably the race is Lamb’s. But Hazlitt is ever Hazlitt, and at his highest moments Hazlitt is hard to beat, and has not these many years been beatenFe atures of Walter Scott’s Historical Novels Scott is the first novelist to recreate the past. In Scott’s novels, historical events are closely interwoven with thefates of individuals. Scott is concerned not only with the lives and deeds of historical figures, but is always mindful of the role and fates of the ordinary people. Scott is a romantic. Besides romantic imagination, he also relied upon careful studies and investigations into the detail of historical life. Scott is a conservative in politics. Comments on Scott As a novelist, Scott’s influence was immense: his creation of a wide range of characters from all levels of society was immediately likened to Shakespeare’s; the use of historical settings became a mainstay of Victorian and later fiction; his short stories helped initiate that form; his antiquarian researches and collections were a major contribution to the culture of Scotland.Characteristics of the Literature in18 centuryThe main literary stream of the 18th century was realism. In this century the newspaper was born. The 18th century was an age of prose.In this age satire was much used in writing. Generally speaking, literature of the 18th century was very complex. We may classify it under three general heads: the reign of classicism, the pre-romantic poetry, and the beginning of modern novel.The Different Styles between Steel and Addison Steele took very little pains with his language. His style is intimate, easy-going and careless. But Addison was a careful writer and a great stylist. He creat ed a perfect. Addison’s Spectator essays were looked upon as the model of English composition by British authors all through the 18th century. Steel and Addison’s Contribution to English literature: Their writings provide a new code of social morality for the rising bourgeoisie; They give a true picture of social life of England in the 18th century; In their hands, the English essay has completely established itself as a literary genre.Pope’s Position in English Literature Pope was known as a great poet in his day. He was the representative writer of the classical school. He exerted much influence upon the other writers of the age. He popularized the classical literary tradition. He was one of the early representatives of the Enlightenment, who introduced into English culture the spirit of rationalism and greater interest in the human world. He was a great satirist and a literary critic. His poetry clearly reflected the spirit of the age in which he lived. The early period of the 18th century has often been named after him as the “Age of Pope”. Features of Fielding’s Novels Fielding’s method of relating a story is telling the story directly by the author. Satire abounds everywhere in Fielding’s works. Fielding believed in the educational function of the novel. Fielding is a master of style. Fielding established once for all the form of modern novel. Fielding focuses more on male characters and manners than Richardson.Gulliver’s Travels Swift wrote his greatest work Gulliver’s Travels in Ireland. The book contains four parts, each of them deals with one particular voyage of the hero and his extraordinary adventures on some remote island. In the first part, Gulliver goes to sea as a ship’s surgeon. In a big storm the ship is wrecked and he is cast upon the shor e of the island of Lilliput. In the second part Gulliver is abandoned on the land of the Brobdingnagians.The third part deals with a series of the hero’s adventures at several places. The fourth part describes the hero’s voyage to the country of the Houyhn hnms and has generally been considered the best part of the book.Analysis of Robinson Crusoe The best part of the novel is the realistic account of the successful struggle of Robinson alone against the pitiless forces of nature on the island. It is there that Robinson is a real hero, and the best qualities of his character are shown to the full. In describing Robinson’s life on the island, Defoe glorifies human labour. In this novel, Defoe created the image of a true empire-builder, a colonizer and a foreign trader. Crusoe represents the English bourgeoisie at the earlier stage of its development. Defoe’s bourgeois outlook manifests itself in the fact that he does not condemn Negro-slavery in his book. Alternatively, Friday can be seen as the victim of canonicalization whose territory and beliefs are usurped by the colonizer.Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded The novel was written in the form of a series of letters from the heroine to her parents and two friends, telling them in great detail her adventures at her m aster’s house. Analysis In this novel for the first time Richardson gave a detailed description of the English family life in the middle of the 18th century. The chief contribution of this novel to the development of the English fiction lies in its penetrating psychological study of the heroine. Moreover the novel criticizes the bourgeois moral standards an moral hypocrisy.Pamela was a huge success. It not only created a fashion for the epistolary novel, but underscored role distinctions which were to become predominant in society for some two centuries: the dominant male as provider and master; the female as victim, preserving her virtue until submitting to “affection” and the inevitability of the man’s dominance. Thus the female role is established in relation to male roles, and any deviation is seen as both socially and morally reprehensibleRichardson’s Achievements His main achievement as a novelist lies in his technique to show characters as personalities, thinking and feeling for themselves with the author himself absent from the stage, refusing to intervene in the action. His influence could be traced in the works of such later novelists as Henry James, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.The Character of Parson Adams The most outstanding character in the novel is Parson Adams. He is a poor, honest old parson. He is high-minded, simple-hearted and ardently devoted to ideals. He is ready to help the weak and the oppressed. He is a man of extraordinary learning, familiar with many languages and has a masterly knowledge of the Greek and Latin classics. He is the most absent-minded man in the world. But, in spite of all his weakness, Parson Adams is a goodman. In the novel, while that agreeable young Joseph may be the cent re of the plot, the “old foolish parson” is the centre ofinterest.Blake’s Position in English Literature Blake’s lyric poetry displays the characteristic of the romantic spirit.There is strong likeness between Shelley and Blake: the imagery and symbolism as well as the underlying spirit of Shelley’s revolutionary epics, find their nearest parallel in Blake’s prophetic books.For these reasons, Blake is called a Pre-Romantic or a forerunner of the Romantic poetry of the 19th century.Features of Burns’s P oetry Burns is the national poet of Scotland. Most of his poems and songs were written in Scotch dialect. Burns was the people’s poet. Burns had a deep knowledge and an excellent mastery of the old song tradition. This was the main factor of his great success.Features of Sterne’s Novels To him sentiment was more important than reason.Sterne gave detailed descriptions of the characters’ inner thoughts and feelings. Sterne’s characters are ordinary persons.Carlyle as a Literary Critic Carlyle’s literary crit icism belongs to the Romantic school. Carlyle’s mission was to establish a new principle in literary criticism. He maintains that it is the critic’s chief task to get into sympathy with his author, to understand, appreciate and interpret his aims and intentions, but not to impose on him purposes which lie outside his plan. His essay on Burns has been commonly acknowledged to be a masterpiece.The main principles of Arnold’s literary criticism may be summed up as follows:Disinterestedness is the first requisite in a literary critic. The function of literary criticism is neither to find fault nor to display the critic’s own learning or influence, but to find and propagate “the best which has been thought and said in the world”. Arnold regarded the quality of “high seriousness” as the principal virtue of poet. He paid great attention to the moral values of poetry. So far as the content of poetry is concerned, Arnold held the view that “the eternal objects of Poetry… are actions, human actions, possessing an inh erent interest in themselves”, and that the poet does best to deal with the great stories of the past, “to delight himself with the contemplation of some noble action of a heroic time, and to enable others, through his representation of it, to delight in i t also”.Characteristics of Tennyson’s Poetry Tennyson has a total mastery of the sounds and rhythms of the English language. No English poet surpasses Tennyson at linking descriptions of nature or setting to the state of mind of the speaker. His poems reflect his conservative ideals and idealization of the bourgeois social reality. Above all, he was a poet of great lyrical gifts and distinguished himself in beautiful poetic imagery and melodious verse in many of his poems.Features of Browning’s Poetry His great contributions to poetry are his dramatic monologues. Unlike Tennyson who idealized society and wrote apart from daily living, Browning aimed to appeal to the contemporary taste for moral principles. He delighted in the idiom of ordinary speech and in the peculiarities of varied minds.His psychological insight, his experiments in form with multiple point of view, his style, syntax and language all seem quite modern and make him a forerunner of 20th century literature Neo-Romanticism Another literary trend prevailing at the end of the 19th century was neo-romanticism. New Romantic writers oppose the idea that life reflects life reality. They thought that the task of art should nourish the reader’s imagination and dissatisfied with the ugly social reality, they refuse to write about it and try to avoid the positive solution of the acute social contradictions. They did not admit any connection between art and morality. They thought that the artist should not teach the reader but create interesting pictures and tell pleasing adventuresMetaphysical poetry: the poetry of John Donne and other 17th-century poets who wrote in a similar style. It is characterized by verbal wit and excess, ingenious structure, irregular meter, colloquial language, elaborate imagery, and a drawing together of dissimilar ideas .Iambic pentameter: a poetic line consisting of five verse feet, with each foot an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Iambic pentameter is the most common verse line in English poetry.Spenserian stanza :Each stanza has nine lines, each of the first eight lines is in iambic pentameter form, and the ninth line is an iambic hexameter line (an alexandrine). The rhythm scheme is abab bcbc c.Romanticism:It emphasize the specialqualities of each individual’s mind. In it, emotion over reason, spontaneous emotion, a change from the outer world of social civilization to the inner world of the human spirit, poetry should be free from all rules, imagination, nature, commonplace.。

The process of making steel is a fascinating one that involves a combination of science, skill, and technology. 制造钢铁的过程是一个令人着迷的过程,涉及到科学、技术和技能的结合。

The most common method for producing steel is through the use of a blast furnace. 制造钢铁最常见的方法是通过高炉的使用。

In this process, iron ore, coke (a type of coal), and limestone are heated in a blast furnace to produce molten iron. 在这个过程中,铁矿石、焦炭(一种煤炭)和石灰石在高炉中加热,产生熔化的铁。

The molten iron is then refined and alloyed to produce different grades of steel with various properties. 然后对熔化的铁进行精炼和合金化,以产生具有不同属性的不同等级的钢铁。

Steelmaking is a complex and intricate process that requires a deep understanding of chemistry, physics, and metallurgy. 制造钢铁是一个复杂而复杂的过程,需要对化学、物理和冶金学有深入的了解。
