John Donne
John Dunne
就算我们是分开的两个人, 也要像一副圆规的两端；你的灵魂是我的定脚, 分离注定与我们无缘。另一只腿一移动, 他也一定就跟着转。虽然他是我们的中心, 可是当另一个远离他乡, 他就侧倾了身躯,梦魂绕牵, 只有离别的人儿归来,他才能够当下心安。你就是我的另一半, 侧倾了身躯随着我转, 你的坚定不移使我一生美满, 使我能将此生画一个满圆。

刘意青《简明英国文学史》课后习题详解(17世纪英国文学德莱顿与班扬)【圣才出品】

第7章德莱顿与班扬1.Choose either Absalom and Achitophel or Mac Flecknoe and analyse it to show Dryden’s satirical power.Key:Mac Flecknoe is a parody of the heroic epic poem,a satire on Thomas Shadwell(c.1642-1692)who had had a number of different political,religious and literary views from Dryden’s and had openly criticised Dryden’s drama pieces as an abuse to the tradition handed down by Ben Jonson.The two were not on good terms for years.In this poem Dryden makes use of Richard Flecknoe(?-1678),an Irish poet and dramatist whom Dryden despised as dull and unaccomplished.The title “Mac Flecknoe”means“son of Flecknoe”,and the poem describes the coronation ceremony of Shadwell to succeed to the throne of his father Flecknoe to be the poorest and most dull poet of all times.The coronation parade passes through a very small area,which is to be the scope of the kingdom of Mac Flecknoe and all the guests attending the ceremony are cheating publishers and swindlers.Twelve owls fly overhead,which is a mock parody of the earliest Roman rulers who had12hawks to guide them to the site where they built up Rome. After the parade comes to an end,Flecknoe speaks to praise his small reign, boasts of his power,and wishes his son to do better than he.2.Why is Dryden called“Father of English Literary Criticism”?What are hisliterary views presented in Of Dramatick Poesie?Key:Dryden shows a certain preference for the English drama and a patriotic enthusiasm in defending the innovative achievements of English playwrights.He has shown foresight and good taste in his evaluation.Therefore,he is called “Father of English Literary Criticism”by Samuel Johnson.Of Dramatick Poesie(1668)is written in dialogues.On the day when celebrating the defeat of the Dutch on the sea by the English navy,four poets sailed on the Thames and discussed the comparative merits of English and French drama,as well as the merits of the old and new English drama.At first Dryden lets the characters emphasize the importance of following the Neoclassical model of French dramatists.But soon Neander,one charecter shows his partiality toward English drama,praising Shakespeare,Ben Jonson and some other English playwrights,and defends Dryden’s own heroic plays in which he adopts rhymed verse and mixing tragedy with comedy.He approves the breaking up of the ancient rules of three unities,and in this way he actually negates the principles held up by the French Neoclassicists.3.What kind of a writer is John Bunyan?Key:John Bunyan was born in a pious Puritan family.He received a little education at the local primary school.In1644his father died and his mother remarried not long afterward.Left by himself,he joined the Parliamentary Army at16to fight for the Puritan cause.Upon returning home,Bunyan took up thebusiness of a tinker and spent a lot of time reading the Bible.In1648,Bunyan married.His wife brought him two books:Plain Man’s Pathway to Heaven and Practice of Piety.They,together with the Bible and the Prayer Book formed the source of Bunyan’s learning and thought.Bunyan was a staunch Puritan.He fought resolutely for his belief and his Christian ideals,in which there was a strong humanistic spirit besides the religious doctrines.In the character Christian in The Pilgrim’s Progress,Bunyan praises the optimistic fighting spirit and the unyielding attitude in one’s pursuit of high goals.4.Discuss as well as you can The Pilgrim’s Progress.Key:Bunyan’s immortal work The Pilgrim’s Progress is a religious allegory.It tells a believer’s journey,or rather spiritual journey from this world to Heaven. One day,the writer falls asleep in the open and he has a dream.In the dream he sees a man named Christian standing in the field.There is a heavy bag(his sin)on his back and he is reading a book(the Bible),in which he learns that soon great disasters will befall the city he is living in.The city is called the City of Destruction (the Earth).He appeals to Heaven as to what he should do.At this time an evangelist comes and tells him to leave his home and embark on a journey to the Celestial City(Heaven).Christian goes home and tries to persuade his family members and neighbors to leave with him,but fails.He goes on this journey alone.On the way to the Celestial City,Christian meets with lots of difficulties anddangers.Finally,they see a high hill and angels are waiting for them at the gate of Heaven.Bunyan lived in a very turbulent era.Through Christian’s experiences and mental struggles,Bunyan discusses everyday problems and concerns of his contemporaries in simple and eloquent prose.This explains the extreme popularity it has since enjoyed.In the character Christian,Bunyan praises the optimistic fighting spirit and the unyielding attitude in one’s pursuit of high goals.It is not strange that The Pilgrim’s Progress became a book owned by almost every family in England for two following centuries,a record perhaps only next to the Bible itself.Quiz:I.Choose one correct answer from the four offers given after each of the following sentences or questions:(15%)1.Who was the leader of the Puritan Revolution of England?A.John LilburneB.Oliver CromwelltonD.Charles IIKey:B2.Who was executed as the enemy of the English people after the victory of theBourgeois Revolution?A.James IIB.Queen ElizabethC.Charles IID.Charles IKey:D3.The Glorious Revolution took place in the year of_____.A.1660B.1688C.1642D.1649Key:B4.The Bible was translated under the reign of_____and published in_____.A.King James I,1611B.King Charles I,1625C.King James II,1688D.King Charles II,1660Key:A5.In the early17th century there was a group of court poets represented by JohnSuckling,Robert Herrick,etc.who were called_____.A.metaphysical poetsB.cavalier poetsC.satirical poetsD.lyrical poetsKey:Bton’s poem Lycidas is a(n)_____and his Paradise Lost is writ in_____.A.epic,heroic coupletB.pastoral poem,sonnetC.lyrical poem,rhymed verseD.elegy,blank verseKey:D7.Metaphysical poets are noted for their use of_____.A.blank verseB.conceitsC.alliterationD.typographyKey:B8.In the Restoration Period,drama revived mainly because_____.。

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.。

English Literature in the Seventeenth Century17世纪英国文学

The English Revolution and Puritanism

The English revolution was carried out under a religious cloak. As we know, the King of England was head of church as well as of state. The growing strength and anger of the bourgeoisie was expressed as a renewed Puritan opposition to the Church of England. The Puritan Movement, a second Renaissance, sometimes is regarded as a rebirth of moral nature of man following the intellectual awakening of Europe in the 15th and 16th century. Among English people, the renaissance was accompanied by a moral awakening. Renaissance hardly touched the moral nature of man, and it brought little relief from the despotism of rulers. The Puritan Movement had two chief objects: the first was personal righteousness, the second was civil and religious liberty. So it aimed to make man honest and to make man free.
