《英国文学选读》 Unit 4

Truth is compared...to a streaming fountain; if her waters flownot in a perpetual progression, they sicken inti a muddy pool or conformity and tradition.1. 作者简介约翰·弥尔顿(John Milton,1608-1674),诗人。
弥尔顿的一生和创作大约可分为三个时期:他16岁时入剑桥大学,并开始用拉丁文和英文写诗;1638-39年间,他前往欧洲旅行,并同当时被囚禁的伽利略见过面。
这一时期的主要作品是一些短诗,比较优秀的有《利西达斯》(Lycidas, 1637)等。
1639年,英国革命即将爆发,他返回英国。
随后的20多年中,他积极投身英国革命,发表了大量的散文和政论文,为英国革命和共和政府奔走呼吁,其中比较著名的有《为英国人民声辩》(Areopagitica, 1650)等。
1652年时他双目逐渐失明。
1660年王政复辟,弥尔顿被捕入狱,但很快被释放,从此开始了他第三时期的创作,先后完成了最著名的以圣经故事为题材的三部长篇诗作《失乐园》(Paradise Lost, 1667)、《复乐园》(Paradise Regained, 1671)和《力士参孙》(Samson Agonistes, 1671)。
评论家认为,弥尔顿的作品同时体现了欧洲两股最重要的文学传统:以荷马和维吉尔史诗为代表的古希腊罗马文学和文艺复兴文学,特别是他的最后一部作品《力士参孙》,描写了主人公在失明后思想、精神上的升华,则在一定程度上映照了弥尔顿自己的一生。
2. 作品提要《失乐园》提要《失乐园》是一部气势恢弘的史诗式作品。
全诗由12部诗篇组成,讲述了基督教《圣经》中撒旦化身为蛇,引诱亚当夏娃(人类的始祖)违背上帝意旨,最后失去上帝的恩宠,被逐出天堂乐园的故事。
第1部:全诗总纲,讲述了整个事件的起因和结果;第2部:撒旦与众叛逆天使讨论如何同上帝作战,夺取天堂;第3部:讲述上帝决定如何赐予人类恩惠;第4部:描述撒旦在天堂见到亚当夏娃,撒旦在夏娃的梦中施展引诱;第5部:天使警告亚当要当心恶魔的引诱;第6部:描绘天使与撒旦一伙的战斗;第7部:亚当向天使询问有关创世的许多问题,并一一得到回答;第8部:他接着又询问天体运行的问题,但对所得到的回答并不满意;第9部:撒旦化身为蛇,躺在伊甸园里,并指引亚当和夏娃摘食禁果;第10部:上帝因此震怒,亚当也后悔不已;第11部:圣子代表上帝宣布将亚当夏娃逐出天堂,并向他们指点未来;第12部:天使向他们叙述拯救之路,亚当夏娃终于离开天堂,失去了乐园。
