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。
