英美文学四大思潮名词解释(全英)

Romanticism began in the mid-18th century and reached its height in the 19th century.It was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe.The ideologies and events of the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution laid the background for Romanticism. The Enlightenment also had influence on Romanticism .It was a revolt against the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.The movement validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe.The Romantic literature of the nineteenth century concentrating on emotion, nature, and the expression of "nothing".famous romanticism writers are such as william Wordsworth:lyrical ballods、william whitman ：leaves of grass Realism beginning with mid nineteenth-century French literature and extending to late-19th- and early-20th-century .It was a reaction againest romanticism and paved the way to modernism.the realism is product of europe capitalist system‟s establishment and development.the philosophy and science of europe in 19th century has promated its production authors trend to depictions of contemporary life and society as it was, or is. In the spirit of general "realism" ,realist authors opted for depictions of everyday and banal activities and experiences, instead of a romanticized or similarly stylizedpresentation.The realism always like a mirror reflecting the real life.the main representatives of realism include Jane Austen《Pride and Prejudice》、Charles Dickens《Great Expectations》、Mark Twain 《the Adventures of Tom Sawyer》.Naturalism was a literary movement taking place from the 1880s to 1940s that suggested that social conditions, heredity, and environment had inescapable force in shaping human character.Naturalism is the outgrowth of literary realism,Naturalistic writers were influenced by Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.The fittest，the survival is the famous sentence in his The origin of species.Naturalistic works exposed the dark harshness of life, including poverty, racism, violence, prejudice, disease, corruption,prostitution, and filth. As a result, naturalistic writers were frequently criticized for focusing too much on human vice and misery.Pessimism,detachment from the story,determinism and a surprising twist at the end of the story are the characteristics of literary naturalism.There tends to be in naturalist novels and stories a strong sense that nature is indifferent and hostile to human struggle.The term naturalism may have been used in this sense for the first time by Émile Zola.the main representatives of realism include Theodore Dreiser 《Sister Carrie》、Jack London《Martin Eden》Modernism has its origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly in Europe and North America. In particular thedevelopment of modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of cities, followed then by the horror of World War I, were among the factors that shaped Modernism. Modernism also rejects the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking, and many modernists rejected religious belief.All the same innovations, like the stream-of-consciousness novel, had precursors in the 19th century.Modernism is characterized by a self-conscious break with traditional styles of poetry and verse. Modernists experimented with literary form and expression, adhering to Ezra Pound's maxim to "Make it new".The modernist literary movement was driven by a conscious desire to overturn traditional modes of representation and express the new sensibilities of their time. famous romanticism writers are such as George Joyce：Araby and Ulysses、George Eliot《The Waste Land》When we talk about Pride and Prejudice, the famous sentence that “It is a truth universally, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” is always the first thing came up to my mind. It can be the scripture of the whole fiction. the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.This book was written by Jane Austen，who was unmarried all her life.In this book she has vividly described five different kinds of loves and marriages by skillfully using irony and her witty and humorous lang uage. And the auther also asked us a question ,when we getmarried ,which should we consider :property,wealth and status or love? the author appreciate Darcy and Elizabeth‟s marriage.because it respected love.In the beginning, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of Darcy‟s pride and Elizabeth …s prejudice. The series of events which they both experienced gave them the opportunity to understand one another and the time to reconcile their feelings for each other. Thus, their mutual understanding is the foundation of their relationship and will lead them to a peaceful and lasting marriage.The another example of a marriage is the marriage between Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins, their marriage totally depended on the position, money, and the background, not the love .Their marriage seemed to be necessary but not happy.Lucas has to tolerate her husband‟s strange and foolish behavior, and her only comfort was her big new house and rich material life. It was a common practice during Austen‟s time for women to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. However, Jane Austen viewed this as a type of prostitution and disapproved of it.Of course ,it‟s not just a love story ,the auther also used a funny way to criticized a social attitude---money and status are everything.She thinks it‟s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.marriage should be regarded carefully cause it is not a game you could just enjoy withoutprudent consideration. She also wanted to deliver the information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.英国1、Shakespeare莎士比亚《sonnet》（十四行诗）2、Daniel Defoe笛福《Robinson Crusoe》（鲁滨孙漂流记）3、Jonathan Swift斯威福特《Gulliver‟s Travels》（格列佛游记）4、Jane Austen简•奥斯汀《Pride and Prejudice》（傲慢与偏见）5、Charles Dickens狄庚斯《Great Expectations》（远大前程）6、Thomas Hardy哈代《The Return of the Native》（还乡）《Tess of the D‟Urbervilles》（德伯家的苔丝）《Jude the Obscure》（无名的裘德）7、Bernard Shaw萧伯纳《Leather Marely Weng》（皮革马利翁）8、James Joyce乔伊斯《Ulysses》（尤利西斯）《Araby》（阿拉比）9、D•H•Laurence劳伦斯《The Rocking Horse Winner》（木马赢家）《Sons and Lovers》（儿子与情人）美国：1、William Faulkner福克纳《My Deathbed》（我弥留之际）2、Hemingway海鸣威《The Sun Also Rises》（太阳照常升起）3、George Eliot艾略特《The Waste Land》（荒原）4、F•Scott Fitzgerald 《The Great Gatsby》（了不起的盖茨比）5、Washington Irving欧文《The Legend of Sleepy Hollow》（睡谷传说）6、Mark Twain马克吐温《Tom Sawyer》（汤姆索亚历险记）《Adventures of Huckleberry Finn》（哈克贝利•费恩历险记》7、Theodore Dreiser西奥多•德莱赛《Sister Carrie》（嘉莉妹妹）8、Nathaniel Hawthorne霍桑《The Scarlet Letter》（红字）9、Langston Hughes兰斯顿•休士（哈莱姆桂冠诗人）10、Harriet Beecher Stowe斯托夫人《Uncle Tom‟s Cabin》（汤姆叔叔的小屋）11、Ralph Ellison拉尔夫•艾里森《Invisible Man》（看不见的人）12、Alice Walker艾丽斯•沃克《The Color Purple》（紫色）13、Richard Wright赖特《Uncle Tom‟s Children》(汤姆叔叔的孩子们）《Native Son》（土生子）14、汤亭亭《The Woman Warrior》（女勇士）15、Amy Tan谭恩美《The Joy Luck Club》（喜福会）16、Tony Morrison托尼莫里森《Song of Solomon》（所罗门之歌）17、Benjamin Franklin富兰克林《Poor Richard‟s Afrr》（格言历书）18、Robert Frost罗伯特•弗罗斯特《Stopping by Words on a Snowy Evening》（雪夜林畔小驻）。

Dreiser

这是部以美国艺术家命运为主题的小说，德菜塞出生于美国中西部的一个小城镇，年轻时到了芝加哥，在那里当过地产公司和家具公司的收帐员，后来成为一个新闻记者，往来于各大城市之产是，最终到纽约定居，成为专业作家。这大体上也正是《天才》的主人公尤金· 威特拉所走的道路，尤金· 威特拉起初是一个正直、诚实、颇具才华的青年画家，可是在资本主义社会种种物质享受的诱惑之下，竟然变得思想混乱、利欲熏心、荒淫无耻，终于走进了创作贫乏的绝境。德莱塞无情地揭露了主人公四周的种种怪现象，使我们相当清晰地看出了造成尤金?威特拉之流的那些社会条件。同时，他也告诉我们，在空口侈谈自由的国度里，一个有才能的青年要有所作为，势必要进行艰苦的斗争，因为美国的生活方式和天才是不能相容的，一个人无法既为金钱效劳又为艺术出力。那样，他可能在物质享受上十分优裕，但在精神上却必然感到空虚、孤独。

SISTER CARRIE (Theodore Dreiser)

SISTER CARRIETheodore Dreiser学号：1303200006 姓名：赵弯弯班级：13级专升本Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Sarah and John Paul Dreiser, a strict Catholic family. He lived a hard life. And he didn’t received the system of education. He was independent living in childhood. In childhood, he contacted with many layers of social character and the dark side. So it decided to create pessimism and naturalism in his works. He finished a maiden work, called Sister Carrie in 1990. Then he wrote many works, such as Jennie Gerhardt , An American Tragedy, The Financier, The Titan, The Genius and so on. I choose to read this book. Because I thought it accorded with real life. The book described a rural girl went to Chicago for living and finally she became a super star. The author of this novel used extinguished realism skill to expose the poverty, unemployment, starvation and dark of American society under the flourishing. The novel was the early representative in American naturalism. Meanwhile, it revealed the interpersonal callous stakes in American life. Everything for oneself. And it proved this point in modern life.The book told a girl, who is beautiful, timid, young and innocent, smart, vanity and full of fantasy for a big city. Carrie Meeber left her small town to find employment in the city of Chicago. She looked her sister and sought new life at the same time. Dazzling city made her take the train to the Chicago. However, she didn’t know that it covered many lies, fallacies, evils, hypocrisies in the dazzling city. She became Drouet and Hurstwood’s lover for living. Finally she become a famous star.The leading character in this novel was Carrie. What kind of person Carrie is? When I read the book, I thought Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle. She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings. But she was not afraid of the future. At the beginning of the book, a eighteen girl, who leaved her home and looked for hersister. She had a fantasy heart for big city. Carrie Meeber left her small town to find new life. Theodore Dreiser, the author of Sister Carrie, informed the reader that, “Self-interest with her was high, but not strong. It was nevertheless her guiding characteristic.” With her youth and innocence she hoped to seek employment so that she could get and bought all the nice things that she wanted. Carrie did not have any idea how hard this was going to be.In the book, “ when a girl leaves her home at home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse. Of an intermediate balance, under the circumstances, there is no possibility. ” When I saw this, I was thinking. Isn’t it that in real life? Now many young people went out work. “ Live in the silt but not imbrued.” But as time goes on, many people got to go with the flow because of social pressure and life stress. And some people did bad things.Then I read this book, Carrie had many pressure about sister and her brother-in-law. When she tried to find a job, she was scared. Carrie had no skills to offer an employer, no job experience, and her clothing was of poor quality. Chicago was a large city, but society at that time did not have many job opportunities for working women. The only jobs that Carrie could possibly get were in the factories that, paid low wages, had poor working conditions, and long hours. Gradually, she was fed up with the poor life. After she lost her job, She thought about going back to her hometown. Then she met the business salesman Drouet again, who she met for the first time on the train to Chicago. Drouet was aware of her beauty and innocence and he hoped to charm and seduced her. Because Carrie was young and inexperienced in the world of men, she was not wise enough to understand where all Drouet's attention was leading toward. Although she knew that the money should be given back, her desire and longing for the good things in life were so powerful that she ignored her beliefs in what was right and wrong. If she gave up this life, she would live a poor life again. That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangleof free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.”“In Carrie ― as in how many of our wordings do they not? ― instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.” When I read this, I changed my opinion for Carrie. She was not a innocent and lovely girl at all. Because she could not stand the poor life. She yielded to real life. It was unthinkable for any decent woman to live with a man without marriage. Yet, Carrie ignored the rules. Then she found a job in the theater. During the time, there were many contradictions between Carrie and Drouet. When Drouet invites his friend, Hurstwood, who is manger of Fitzgerald and Moy’s. He had been pointed out as a very successful and well-known man about town. His managerial position was fairly important---a kind of stewardship which was imposing, but lacked financial control. He was attracted this girl and he began to pursue the girl. Even he ignored the rules. In order to be with the girl he beloved, Hurstwood s tolen the wine shop’s business money. He cheated Carrie into eloping with him. Drouet's promise to eventually marry Carrie allowed her to ignore her conscience which told her that her behavior was wrong. The longer Drouet and Carrie lived together, she finally realized that she is not deeply in love with him. Carrie had gone with Drouet because of financial need to avoid returning to her hometown. Carrie loved Hurstwood and agreed to leave with him believing that they would marry each other right away. However, Carrie was deceived again.In my opinion, Carrie lived with two men as their mistress. They gave her the material things she desired. Her judgment in selecting men was based on their appearance and not on their character. I ever thought she was vanity and self-abandonment. She loved a kind of entertainments. She wanted to got the upper reaches of society. Gradually, I hated her.The climax was Hurstwood’s life in New York. The money he stolen was finally confiscated. Their life was in straitened circumstances. It was ironic that she was backing in the same financial situation as before. Hurstwood was not able to find or keep a job. With no one left to support her, Carrie got a job. As her theater career roseand her social status improved, Hurstwood became completely dependent on Carrie. He was no longer the intelligent, assured, and cultured man that she thought he was. With the ability to support herself, Carrie leaves Hurstwood. He became a street person and ended up with killing himself.After Hurstwood went broke, Carrie discarded him. Maybe many people thought thar it was degrading. AT the same time, she became a star at the actor.She got money and career.After she became a star, she met Ames. Ames said: “ What good would it do ? A man doesn’t need this sort of thing to be happy.” When she became a star at the actor, got the upper reaches of society and realized her fantasy. However, the so-called "upper-class social life" did not give her anything at all? She felt that life was empty and couldn’t find the true meaning of life. Being in the loneliness and desolation, she dreamed of sitting in a rocking chair in a TV drama without happiness.When I finished the book, I was wrong. I should not criticize Carrie. How did I can？Actually, I didn’t know.From ancient to modern times, human followed sage. We thought they were perfect. But we were human. We looked forward to living a rich life. We want to enjoy life. So did Carrie. She lived a poor life at her sister’ s home. She re alized that it was hard and money was important. So she tried her best to get everything.However, why was Carrie not happy? She got everything. Money, career and so on. Actually, we pursued good life. It is right. But to my enlightenment, as we busy pursu ing material life and scrambling power and social position, we shouldn’t ignore our spiritual needs. We should find the true meaning of life. In my opinion, we had some sincere friends, harmonious family and our obligation. I ever saw the sentence:” One su preme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”。

American Naturalism: social backgrounds

The spread of industrialization created extremes of wealth and poverty. Life became a struggle for survival. Farmers were still going westward, but frontiers were about the close. People were doomed to have no more land. The spread of Darwin's theory of evolution changed people's ideals totally —an indifferent, cold and Godless world. People's outlook toward life became pessimistic.
Theodore Dreiser
(1871-1945)
No Money No friend in power
No tradition
Dreiser’s Life
Family: Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Sarah and John Paul Dreiser—a German immigrant family. He was the twelfth of thirteen children (the ninth of the ten surviving). A poor and strict Roman Catholic family. Eduaction: got educated at a Catholic school, and later to a public school (Indiana University). Apart from school education, he read widely by himself, such as Shakespeare, Balzac, Charles Darwin Emerson and Thoreau etc.
