英国文学史练习题
英国⽂学史练习题Twentieth Century LiteratureⅠDefine the following termsModernismModernism in English literature prevailed during the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. It was a movement of experiments in new technique in writing. Modernism takes the irrational philosophy and the theory of psycho-analysis as its theoretical base. The modernist writers concentrate more on the private and subjective, mainly concerned with the inner being of an individual. Therefore they pay more attention to the psychic time than the chronological one. The major themes of the modernist literature are the distorted, alienated and ill relationships between man and nature, man and society, man and man, and man and himselfStream of ConsciousnessStream of consciousness is a psychological term indicating the flux of conscious and subconscious thoughts and impressions moving in the mind at any given time independently of the person’s will.In late 19th century, the literary device of “interior monologue”was originated in France as an application of modern psychological knowledge to literary creation. In the 20th century, under the influence of Freud’s theory of psychological analysis, a number of writers adopted the “stream of consciousness”method of novel writing. The striking feature these novelists is their depiction of the characters’mental and emotional reactions to external events, rather than events themselves.ⅡFill in the blanks1. Abroad with Frieda, Lawrence finished ____, the autobiographical novel atwhich he had been working off and on for years.2. ____is the most outstanding stream of consciousness novelist.ⅢGive a brief analysis of Tess’tragedy in Tess of the D’UrbervillesTess of the D’UrbervillesThemesThe novel is a fierce criticism of the hypocritical morality of the society and the cruel and inhuman exploitation of the capitalists who invaded the English country and destroyed the peasantry from the root. Tess, a beautiful, innocent, sweet-natured and hard-working country girl, is easily taken in and abused by the hypocritical rich, constantly suppressed by the social conventions, brutally exploited by the inhuman capitalists, and eventually executed by the unfair legal system. She is a typical victim of the society. Poverty of the family, inhumanity, injustice and hypocrisy of the society decide her tragedy. The two men-the one who takes away her virginity and purity, the other who takes away her love but deserts her on the very wedding night—though apparent rivals, join their forces in bringing about her final destruction. Hers is a personal tragedy; it can also be a social one.On the other hand, there is a strong naturalistic tendency in the novel. Fate plays an important role in Tess’ tragedy. In a way, Tess seems to be led to her final destr uction step by step by fate. Coincidence adds one “wrong” to another until she is caught up in a dead end. So, it is necessary to understand the ending remark of the author: “Justice was done, and the President of the Immortals had ended his sport with Tess.”The Victorian AgeⅠFill in the blanks1.

His characterizations of child (Oliver Twist, etc.), some grotesque people (Fagin, etc.) & some comical people (Mr. Micawber, etc.) are superb. Dickens also employs exaggeration in his works. Dickens's works are also characterized by a mixture of humor & pathos.2. Make an analysis of the character of Jane EyreJane Eyre's characterJane Eyre, an orphan child with a fiery spirit & a longing to love & be loved, a poor, plain, little governess who dares to love her master, a man superior to her in many ways, & even is brave enough to declare to the man her love for him, cuts a completely new woman image.In this novel Charlotte characterizes Jane Eyre as a naive, kind-hearted, noble-minded woman who pursues a genuine kind of love.
