His verse is smooth. His words are easy to understand. He introduced from France the rhymed stanzas of various types, especially the rhymed couplet of i amb i c pentameter which was later called the “heroic couplet. " Though drawing influence from French, Italian and Latin models, he is the first important poet to write in the current English language. Chaucer did much in making the dialect of London the foundation for modern English language.2)What was the English Renaissance?The English Renaissance was an intellectual movement or rebirth of letters. There were two striking features. The first was the revived interest in classical literature. People were thirsty for works of Greek and Latin. Another feature washumanism. People began to see themselves asimportant beings, not only living for God and a future world. Interest in beauty and achievement rose. This was the outlook of the new bourgeois class. They believed in their strength. They expected the promising world opening to them.They believed that they could make the world according to their desires.3)What are the themes of “Robinson Crusoe r ?1)The novel sings high praises of self-reliance.It demonstrates that man can remake the world with his own power. He can rely on himself in difficult situations.2)This novel is also an exhibition of man' s capacity. Man has boundless energy. Together with his persistence and strong will power, he can do anything that may seem impossible previously.3)This novel also glorifies human labor. It is labor that saves Robinson Crusoe from despair, and labor is also a source of pride and happiness.In short, Robinson Crusoe is representative of the English bourgeoisie at the early stage of its development.4)This novel also touches upon the theme of colonization. Crusoe makes Friday his servant, and hehimself master of the island and Friday. This plot is in accordance with the exploitation of the English bourgeois class out of Britain.4)Summarize Shelley' s significance in the English literature.Shelley is one of the leading Romantic poets, anintense and original lyrical poet in the English language. Like Blake, he has a reputation as a difficult poet: erudite, imagistically complex, full of classical and mythological allusions. His style abounds in personification and metaphor and other figures of speech which describe vividly what we see and feel, or express what passionately moves us.5)What are the periods of Shakespeare' s dramatic composition? And what are their respective features?Three periods: 1. Period of historical plays and comedies. This period is characterized by happiness and optimism. This period can be further put into two phases: the phase of apprenticeship and the phase of maturation. . Period of tragedies. This period is characterized by gloom. . Period of romances or tragic-comedies. This period is characterized by reconciliation.6)What are the principles of classicists? Tell three representative classicists in the English literature andtheir representative works.1) The classicists modeled themselves on Greek and Latin authors, and tried to control literary creation by some fixed laws and rules drawn from Greek and Latin works. Rimed couplet instead of blank verse, the three unities oftime, place and action, regularity in construction, and the presentation of types rather than individuals一these were some of the standards the classicists required of drama. Poetry, following the ancient divisions, should be lyric, epic, didactic, satiric or dramatic, and each class should be guided by some peculiar principles. Prose should be precise, direct and flexible. The English classicists followed these standards in their writing.) Addison and Steele, “The Tatler, " and "The Spectator. " Alexander Pope, “Essay on Criticism, " and "The Rape of the Lock."7)Summarize Eliot' s influence briefly.。
