如何复习《英国文学史及选读》
来源：考试大 2005/12/3 【考试大：中国教育考试第一门户】 模拟考场 视频课程 字号:T T

从盎格鲁?撒克逊文学开始到２０世纪英国文学结束，千百年来涌现出了许许多多的在欧洲乃至世界文坛享有盛誉的诗人、戏剧家、小说家、小品家、小品文作家等，每一作家身后都留下了为数众多的作品，而对这种情况，很多的考生把这一自考本科段的必考科目视若畏途，或看作学习路上的栏路虎。笔者多次参加该科目试卷评阅工作，也曾有过在自考班里教授这门课程的经历，积累了一定的经验，总结出了一套方法，经试用效果还不错，希望能对广大自考生们有所裨益。

一、制作小卡片，随时复习
《英国文学史及选读》第一题是作家作品对号，此题看似简单，但这１０分却不好拿，有的考生作家比较熟悉，却忘了他的作品；有的对作品不陌生却又记不起是谁写的了。为了加深记忆，便于复习，一个行之有效的方法就是制作小卡片。其内容可包括作家的名字，生活创作的年代，作品的名称（代表作、成名作、其他重要作品）。还可加上作品中男女主人公的名称，他们之间的关系等等。
当然，如果想详细一些的话，可以在作者的下面补充上其写作的特色，作品的后面加一其主题，限于空间，最好只写要点或关键词。

二、勤于思索，善于总结
第二题是单项选择题，约占总分值的３０％，主要考察文学常识部分。这一部分涉及的面较广，应该注意每个作家在文学史上的地位，某部作品在历史转型时期所起的作用，每个时代的文学流派及其特点等等，所做的复习准备工作要扎实细致，对大纲所指定的参考书目要仔细研究，特别要留

意书上结论性，评价性的言语。
第三题为双选题，大约占５０％的分值，在四个给出的答案中选出两个正确的答案。显然，其难度要比单选题大，不过内容与第二题大体相当，只不过对于某些文学常识不但要记，而且要记得准。
第四题为填空题，大约占１０％的分值，其考查内容为文学常识与作品选 读交叉。如在１９９７年的考题中有这样一道题：All of the novels written by Samuel Richardson are in the form of letters.考的是对某一作家写作特点的掌握，属于文学常识方面的知识；而“Oliver Twist/ tells the story of an orphan, whose adventures provide a description of the lower depths of London.（９８年考题）考的是对狄更斯的一部分作品是否熟悉，属于作品选读方面的内容。
第五题为名词解释，份值约占１５％。需要的名词往往是某种文学体裁，如：Romance，sonnet，Realistic Novel等；或是某一类别的作家群体，如：Radical Enlighteners，Lake Poets等；再或是某一文学流派，如：Sentimentalism，Neo-classicism等。回答第一类名词时要说明该体裁的特点，盛行的年代；第二类要说明盛行的年代，代表性的作家，以及其文学主张等；第三类要说明该派别有何特点和主张，盛行的年代和代表性的作家有哪些等等。

三、分析作品，便于记忆
第六题为作品题分析题，约占总分的１０％，考生在该题上失分最多。究其原因，其一，没有花大量的时间来仔细阅读作品，故而印象不深；其二，由于文学语言是语言中的精华，需要有一定的文学修养和扎实的语言功底才能解读明白，尤其是英语诗歌，有些同学可能读了数遍，到头来还是一头雾水，不知所云。该题的出题方式往往是给出四行短诗，让判明出处，即作者是谁，诗的题目叫什么。还有就诗的主题，诗人所表达的感情，诗中的意象以及其他方面的内容提出问题。若想答好这道题，如果不对作品进行深入的分析是不可能的。笔者认为略微学点Poetic Form（诗体），即英诗格律方面的知识对于理解记忆诗歌大有好处，如莎士比亚善Sonnet（十四行诗），弥尔顿不朽的史诗Paradise Lost是用Black verse（素体诗）写成，从诗体着眼，有助于我们正确作出判断。另外，还可从Subject Matter（题材）方面入手，英诗有史诗，抒情诗，叙事诗，哲理诗等，选读中以抒情诗为主，如拜伦，雪莱诗中革命激情的奔放，华兹华斯诗中隐含着的对自然欲语还休的淡淡的忧伤等。换句话说，诗歌的风格，表达的思想感情，都能为我们判断诗歌提供线索。

四、体裁为经，历史为纬
最后两道题分别是简答题和论述题，约占总分的２０％，其内容往往涉及到某一作家的写

作特点，在文学史上的地位和作用其考查；某一部作品的主题，复述作品的故事梗概；某一文学流派的特点和主张等等。为准备这部分内容，可以把指定参考书中所有的作家作品按小说，诗歌，戏剧，散文分类，即以体裁为经，纵向比较各个作家各有何特点，当然，这里会有交叉，一位作者的创作领域会有多样性，既可能是小说家同时又是诗人。以历史为纬，把文学史上所有的文学流派纵向分类比较，即某一时期的某一流派是如何既背离又继承前一时期的文学传统，同时又为下一时期的某种文学流派的兴起开辟了道路。
