吴伟仁《英国⽂学史及选读》笔记和考研真题详解-第7章浪漫主义时期【圣才出品】第7章浪漫主义时期7.1 复习笔记I. Background Knowledge（背景知识）At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, romanticism appeared in England as a new trend in literature. It rose and grew under the impetus of the Industrial Revolution and French Revolution.Romanticism prevailed in England during the period 1798-1832. The co-authored book Lyrical Ballads published in 1798 by the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge marked the beginning of romanticism, while the death of Walter Scott in 1832 declared the ending of it.18世纪末19世纪初，在英国⼯业⾰命和法国⼤⾰命的影响下，浪漫主义成为⼀种新的⽂学思潮应运⽽⽣。
1798年华兹华斯和柯勒律治共同编写的《抒情歌谣集》标志浪漫主义时期的开始，1832年沃尔特·司各特的去世则宣告浪漫主义时期的结束。
II. Literary Features of the Eighteenth Century（⼗⼋世纪⽂学特征）1. The Romantic Period is one of poetical revival. It is a period of poetry. Emotion, imagination and intuition of humankind are what the romanticists emphasize in their works. The general feature of the works of the romanticists is the dissatisfaction with the bourgeois society. They pay more attention to thespiritual and emotional life of man. Nature plays an important role in their works.2. Romantic poets are generally divided into two groups: the elder generation, or the escapist romanticists (Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey, who also known as Lake Poets), and the younger generation, or the active romanticists (Byran, Shelley and Keats). The elder generation reflected the merry of old England. Frightened by the coming of industrialism and the nightmare towns, they were turning to nature for protection. The younger generation expressed the aspirations of the classes created by capitalism and held out an ideal of a future society free from oppression and exploitation.3. Romantic prose of the time was represented by Lamb, Hazlitt, De Quincey andHunt.4. The only great novelist in this period was Walter Scott, whose historical novelscombined a romance atmosphere with a realistic depiction of historical background and common people’s life. Scott marked the transition from romanticism to the period of realism.1. 浪漫主义时期是诗歌复兴时期。

吴伟仁《英国文学史及选读》（重排版）笔记和考研真题详解-理查德第16章理查德?布林斯利?谢里丹16.1复习笔记I.18th Century Drama(18世纪戏剧)The English drama of the18th century does not reach the same high level as its novel.One of the main reasons is that the Licensing Act of1737,which drove Fielding out of the theatre, restricted the freedom of expression by dramatists.But playwrights in this period showed great interest in Shakespeare,so did the criticism and editions.Only Goldsmith and Sheridan produced works that are of high literary value and still retain their interest upon the stage.18世纪英国戏剧没有取得与小说一样的成就。
主要原因之一便是1737年通过的戏剧审查法案，这一法案将菲尔丁赶出戏剧领域，同时也限制了剧作家的言论自由。
但是这一时期的演员、评论和选集对莎士比亚的作品表现出极大的兴趣。
只有哥尔德史密斯和谢里丹的剧作有较高的文学价值，至今仍被搬上舞台。
II.Richard Brinsley Sheridan(1751-1816)(理查德·布林斯利·谢里丹)1.Life(生平)Richard Brinsley Sheridan,the son of Thomas Sheridan(an Irish actor and author),was a dramatist and politician.He was educated at Harrow.After his elopement in1773with Elizabeth, the daughter of a composer,Sheridan began writing for the theater and in1776became a part owner and director of the Drury Lane Theatre.In1780Sheridan went in for politics and became a Whig M.P.In1787,he made a great speech of impeachment of Warren Hastings,the first governor general of India.His newtheatre was opened in1794,but destroyed by fire in1809.He was arrested for debt in1813and in his last years suffered from brain disease.He died in1816 and was buried with a great pomp in Westminster Abbey.His plays are generally considered as important links between the masterpieces of Shakespeare and those of Bernard Shaw.理查德·布林斯利·谢里丹是爱尔兰演员和作者托马斯·谢里丹之子，是一名戏剧家和政治家。

第12章约瑟夫•艾迪12.1复习笔记I.Joseph Addison(1672-1719)(约瑟夫·艾迪生)1.Life(生平)Joseph Addison,the son of a scholarly clergyman,was educated at Charterhouse School and then at Oxford University,both with Steele,his fast friend.Addison was the stronger character, the better student,the more quiet and resourceful.At Oxford,Addison soon became known as a writer of verses.His great interest in and talent for political writing won him patronage from several statesmen to travel on the Continent while studying French and politics of European states.Four years later,he returned and rose to fame by writing a poem celebrating the English Duke of Marlborough.Soon he became a member of Parliament and later was sent to Ireland as Secretary of State.When he died,all England mourned for him and a great funeral was held by night in Westminster Abbey.约瑟夫·艾迪生出身于一个牧师家庭，父亲博学多识。
他在查特豪斯学校和牛津大学接受教育，这两个时期都和挚友斯蒂尔一起度过。
与斯蒂尔相比，艾迪生更刚强、学习更出色、更内敛和足智多谋。
在牛津期间，艾迪生很快就以写诗出名。
他对政治写作极感兴趣也很有天赋，因此赢得了一些政治家的资助，游历欧洲大陆，学习法语并熟悉欧洲国家的政治。
四年后他回国，因一首赞扬马尔堡公爵的诗声名鹊起。
不久他便成了议员，后来又去爱尔兰做国务大臣。
他死后，举国哀悼，夜晚人们在威斯敏斯特教堂举行了盛大的葬礼。
2.Literary Achievements(文学成就)Addison’s chief contribution to literature lies in his essays written for The Tatler and The Spectator.He collaborated with Steele in publishing The Spectator from1711to1712.The essays published in The Spectator dealt with the customs,manners,morals,literature and other current topics of the time.Steele and Addison preached moderation,reason,self-control,civility, refinement and good taste,all which the newly ruling bourgeoisie needed urgently while establishing its social order.主要文学贡献是他为《闲谈者》和《旁观者》写的文章。
1711—1712年，他和斯蒂尔合办《旁观者》。
《旁观者》发表的文章与风俗、世态、道德、文学及其他时下流行话题有关。
在文章中，斯蒂尔和艾迪生宣传节制、理性、自我约束、文明、文雅和高品位，这些品质都是发展中的资产阶级建立社会秩序亟需的。
3.Writing Style(写作风格)Addison’s familiar and elegant prose remained for over a century the model for most writers. Dr.Johnson regarded his prose as“the model of the middle style;on grave subjects not formal, on light occasions not groveling;pure without scrupulosity,and exact without apparent elaboration,always equable,and always easy,without glowing words or printed sentences.”艾迪生平易近人、高雅洗练的散文是一个多世纪以来大部分作家写作的典范。
约翰逊博士称他的散文是“中庸风格的典范，讨论严肃的话题不正式，轻松的时候又不卑躬屈膝，纯粹而无顾虑，精确又无匠气，总是那么平和从容，毫无华丽辞藻和刻板教条。
Ⅱ.Richard Steele(1672-1729)(理查德·斯蒂尔)1.Life(生平)Richard Steele was born in Dublin,in the same year as Addison,and was educated at the same school and university as Addison.At Oxford,Steele dropped his college work,ran away and joined the army.After returning from the wars,he tried his hand at a few plays and a book.In 1709,he started a paper called The Tatler,which contained news,gossip,stories of everyday life, and jokes on all sorts of people.Two years later,he discontinued it and started another paper named The Spectator,combining the daily paper with the familiar essays to offer entertainment and enlightenment.理查德·斯蒂尔生于都柏林，和艾迪生同龄，并和他在同一所学校上学。
在牛津期间，斯蒂尔丢掉学业，参军入伍。
从战场上回来，他试着写了些剧本和一本书。
1709年，斯蒂尔创办了《闲谈者》报，内容包括新闻、小道消息、日常故事和各种人的玩笑。
两年后，《闲谈着》停刊，他又创办了《旁观者》，将日报和亲近人心的随笔结合，旨在娱乐和教化读者。
2.Analysis of Major Character in The Spectator《旁观者》主要人物分析The essays of The Spectator presented the character and doings of Sir Roger,a country gentleman of old-fashioned manners,is simple-minded,kind-hearted,and somewhat pompous. His foibles,which were described with a gentle humor,made a setting for his virtues of simplicity, honesty and piety which pointed an example to the world of fashion.《旁观者》中的随笔展现了罗杰爵士这个人物及其行为。
罗杰爵士是因循守旧的老乡绅，单纯善良，爱摆架子。
文章笔调幽默地描写了他的小缺点，衬托出了他单纯、诚实、虔诚的美德，为上流社会树立了榜样。
