The Enlightenment on the whole, was an expression of struggle of the then progressive class of bourgeois against feudalism.

They attempted to place all branches of science at the service of mankind by connecting them with the actual deeds and requirements of the people. 17.

30. Metaphysical poetry: The poetry of John Donne and other 17th century poets who wrote in a similar style.

The multiple points of view technique makes the reader recognize the difficulty of arriving at a true judgment.

34. Narration: Like description, narration is a part of conversation and writing. Successful narration must grow out of good observation, to-the-point selection from observation, and clear arrangement of details in logical order, which is usually chronological. Narration gives an exact picture of things as they occur. 35. Narrator: One who narrates, or tells, a story. A story may be told by a first-person narrator, someone who is either a major or minor character in the story. Or a story may be told by a third-person narrator, someone who is not in the story at all. The word narrator can also refer to a character in a drama who guides the audience through the play, often commenting on the action and sometimes participating in it.

36. Neoclassicism: A revival in the 17th agogo of order, balance, and harmony in literature.

37. Parody: The humorous imitation of a work of literature, art, or music. A parody often achieves its humorous effect through the use of exaggeration or mockery. In literature, parody can be make of a plot,

a character, a writing style, or a sentiment or theme.

38. Plot: Plot is the first and most obvious quality of a story. It is the sequence of events or actions in a short story, novel, play, or narrative poem. For the reader, the plot is the underlying pattern in a work of

fiction, the structural element that gives it unity and order. For the writer, the plot is the guiding principle of selection and arrangement. Conflict, a struggle of some kind, is the most important element of plot. Each event in the plot is related to the conflict, the struggle that the main character undergoes. Conflict may be external or internal, and there may be more than one form of conflict in a work. As the plot advances, we learn how the conflict is resolved. Action is generally introduced by the exposition, information essential to understanding the situation. The action rises to a crisis, or climax. This movement is called the rising action. The falling action, which follows the crisis, shows a reversal of fortune for the protagonist. The denouement or resolution is the moment when the conflict ends and the outcome of the action is clear.

39. Poetry: The most distinctive characteristic of poetry is form and music. Poetry is concerned with not only what is said but how it is said. Poetry evokes emotions rather than express facts. Poetry means having a poetic experience. Imagination is also an essential quality of poetry. Poetry often leads us to new perceptions, new feelings and experiences of which we have not previously been aware.

40. Point of view: The vantage point from which a narrative is told. There are two basic points of view: first-person and third-person. In the first-person point of view, the story is told by one of the characters in his or her own words. The first-person point of view is limited. In the third-person point of view, the narrator is not a character in the story. The narrator may be an omniscient. On the other hand, the third-person narrator might tell a story from the point of view of only one character in the story.

40. Pre-Romanticism: It originated among the conservative groups of men and letters as a reaction against Enlightenment and found its most manifest expression in the “Gothic novel”. The term arising from the fact that the greater part of such romances were devoted to the medieval times.

41. Protagonist: The central character of a drama, novel, short story, or narrative poem. The protagonist is the character on whom the action centers and with whom the reader sympathizes most. Usually the protagonist strives against an opposing force, or antagonist , to accomplish something.

42. Renaissance: The term originally indicated a revival of classical (Greek and Roman) arts and sciences after the dark ages of medieval obscurantism.

43. Rhyme: It’s one of the three basic elements of traditional poetry. It is the repetition of sounds in two or more words or phrases that appear close to each other in a poem. If the rhyme occurs at the ends of lines, it is called end rhyme. If the rhyme occurs within a line, it is called internal rhyme. Approximate rhyme is rhyme in which only the final consonant sounds of the words are identical. A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes in a poem. Interlocking rhyme is a rhyme scheme in which an unrhymed line in one stanza rhymes with a line in the following stanza. Interlocking rhyme occurs in an Italian verse form called terza rima.

44. Rhythm: It is one of the three basic elements of traditional poetry. It is the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables into a pattern. Rhythm often gives a poem a distinct musical quality. Poets also use rhythm to echo meaning.

45. Romance: Any imagination literature that is set in an idealized world and that deals with a heroic adventures and battles between good characters and villains or monsters.

46. Satire: A kind of writing that holds up to ridicule or contempt the weaknesses and wrongdoings of individuals, groups, institutions, or humanity in general. The aim of satirists is to set a moral standard for society, and they attempt to persuade the reader to see their point of view through the force of laughter.

47. Sentimentalism:Sentimentalism came into being as a result of a bitter discontent on the part of certain enlighteners in social reality.

48. Setting: The time and place in which the events in a short story, novel, play or narrative poem occur.

Setting can give us information, vital to plot and theme. Often, setting and character will reveal each other.

49. Simile: (a figure of speech) A comparison make between two things through the use of a specific word of comparison, such as like, as than, or resembles. The comparison must be between two essentially unlike things.

50. Soliloquy:In drama, an extended speech delivered by a character alone onstage. The character reveals his or her innermost thoughts and feelings directly to the audience, as if thinking aloud.

51. Sonnet: A fourteen-line lyric poem, usually written in rhymed iambic pentameter. A sonnet generally expresses a single theme or idea.

52. Speech: It was defined by Aristotle as the faculty of observing all the available means of persuasion.

53. Style: An author’s characteristic way of writing, determined by the choice of words, the arrangement of words in sentences, and the relationship of the sentences to one another.

54. Symbol: A symbol is a sign which suggests more than its literal meaning. A symbol is a way of telling

a story and a way of conveying meaning. The best symbols are those that are believable in the lives of the characters and also convincing as they convey a meaning beyond the literal level of the story. If the symbol is obscure or ambiguous, then the very obscurity and the ambiguity may also be part of the meaning of the story.

55. Theme; The general idea or insight about life that a writer wishes to express in a literary work. All the elements of a literary work-plot, setting, characterization, and figurative language-contribute to the development of its theme.

56. Tone: The attitude a writer takes toward his or her subject, characters, or audience. The tone of a speech or a piece of writing can be formal or intimate; outspoken or reticent; abstruse or simple; solemn or playful; angry or loving; serious or ironic.

57. Tragedy: In general, a literary work in which the protagonist meets an unhappy or disastrous end. Unlike comedy, tragedy depicts the actions of a central character who is usually dignified or heroic.

自考英语本科英美文学选读教你投机取巧过英美文学整理加强版

美文学这门科目庞大之极,堪称英本自考之最。自己一个人看那么厚的一本书,不用说能不能看下来,能记住多少实在不好说! 我在复习的时候,总结了一些规律,与大家分享,望对你有用,帮你顺利通过! 1.题型分析: 一般来讲,肯定是这种类型:a.单项选择题(40道,40分) b.引文简析(无非就是问问作者是谁,出自哪个作品,主题意象什么的,4道,16分)c.简答题(4道,24分)d.论述题(无非就是分析加读后感,20分) 经验:你应该可以看出来了,重点当然是单选了,分数大,又好得分,实在不行还可以蒙。建议尽可能把书看一遍,但不要看作者生平,那肯定不会考。有个印象就可以了,不用去背,如果你汉语文学功底好,可以省去不少时间。 2.比例分析 据本人统计,历年来英美文学的国考试卷中英国文学占52%,美国文学占48%。(2003年4月例外,其中英国部分58%)其中,可以看出 单选题:前22题肯定为英国部分,其余为美国部分。 大题部分:基本上是一人一半,各占50% 经验:书上共652页,英国411页,美国241页。英国作家共38位,美国15位。其中,美国部分中,诗歌作品也比较少,比较好确认。结论:死学美国,顺带英国。 3.内容分析 历年命题的趋势逐渐由课文内容向选读作品转移,选读的比重越来越大。 经验:课文内容作到大体了解,但要特别重视作家艺术特色。选读部分加大力度,多注意书上的注释及选文大意和某些细节,尽量作到能用英语复述。实在不行,也至少作到能用汉语复述。 4.真题解析及预测 自学考试的一大特点就是重复率高,所以历年试题是必惫的复习材料,不可缺少。有人说:“一套真题等于3套模拟题!”这话绝对没错。所以要花大力气在上面。记得我考那回就有一道10分大题和前一年的一模一样。 注:马克吐温的《哈克贝里费恩历险记》的分析在2000~2002年中,连续考了三次。 经验:注意历年真题,尤其是去年的。去年的10分大题大致如下: a.《傲慢与偏见》中的三种婚姻 b.《白鲸》选文作品复述几分析象征意义。 ================================================ 4月14日]投机取巧教你过英美文学[压题篇] 本文是投机取巧过英美文学的最后一篇,收录北京市2004年4月10日英美文学考试的试题(除选择题外),是我在北京自考论坛处网友处所得,特此对提供帮助的朋友表示感谢。 二、1、Thomas Gray:Elegy in the Country Churchyard的第一段 2、Yeats的Down by the sallen garden,考的是他俩站在河边,那个女孩*在他肩头,他觉得自己年轻懵懂,而且泪流满面。 3、Emyly Bronte的Whuthering Heights里面Hethcliff在他lover临死之前的那段表现,还问了narrator 是谁 4、Emlily Dikinson的I Heard a Fly Buzz--When I died,问那个blue Buzz是什么意思

自考英美文学选读 第一章 文艺复兴时期(英国)(课文翻译)

英美文学选读翻译(英语专业自考) 第一部分:英国文学 第一章文艺复兴时期 文艺复兴标志着一个过渡时期,即中世纪的结束和现代社会的开始。一般来说,文艺复兴时期是从十四世纪到十七世纪中叶。它从意大利兴起,伴随着绘画、雕塑和文学领域的百花齐放,而后文艺复兴浪潮席卷了整个欧洲。文艺复兴,顾名思义即重生、复苏,是由一系列历史事件激发推动的,其中包括对古希腊罗马文化的重新发现。地理天文领域的新发现,宗教改革及经济发展。因此,文艺复兴从本质上是欧洲人文主义者竭力摒弃中世纪欧洲的封建主义,推行代表新兴城市资产阶级利益的新思想,并恢复早期宗教的纯洁性,远离腐败的罗马天主教廷的一场运动。 文艺复兴浪潮影响到英国的速度比较慢,不仅因为英国远离欧洲大陆,而且还因为其国内的动荡不安。乔叟去世后的一个半世纪是英国历史上最动荡不安的时期。好战的贵族篡取了王位,使英国走上自我毁灭之路。著名的玫瑰之战就是极好的例子。后来理查三世的恐怖统治标志着内战的结束,在都铎王朝的统治下英国的民族情感又成长起来。然而直到亨利八世统治期间(1509-1547),文艺复兴的春风才吹入英国。在亨利八世的鼓励下,牛津的改革派学者和人文主义者们将古典文学引入英国。基于古典文学作品及《圣经》的教育重获生机,而十五世纪就被广泛传阅的文学作品则更加流行了。自此,英国的文艺复兴开始了。英国,尤其是英国文学进入了黄金时代。这个时期涌现出莎士比亚、斯宾塞、约翰逊、锡德尼、马洛、培根及邓恩等一大批文学巨匠。但英国的文艺复兴并未使新文学与旧时代彻底决裂,带有十四、十五世纪特点的创作态度与情感依然贯穿在人文主义与改革时代。 人文主义是文艺复兴的核心。它源于努力恢复中世纪产生的对古希腊罗马文化的尊崇。人文主义作为文艺复兴的起源是因为古希腊罗马文明的基础是以"人"为中心,人是万物之灵。通过这些对古代文化崭新的研究,人文主义者不仅看到了光彩夺目的艺术启明星,还在那古典作品中寻求到了人的价值。在中世纪的社会中,个人完全隶属于封建统治,没有独立和自由可言;在中世纪的神学理论中,人与周围世界的关系仅仅是人消极适应或消极遁世,不允许追求快乐,以备死后灵魂得以超脱。然而人文主义者们却从古代文化遗产中找到了充足的论据,来赞美人性,并开始注意到人类是光荣的生命,人自己可以不断发展,至善至美,而且人们生存的世界是属于他们的,供他们怀疑、探索以及享受。由此,人文主义者通过强调人类的尊严、强调今生今世的重要性,喊出了他们的信仰,即人类不仅有权利在今生今世美好生活,而且还有能力完善自我,创造奇迹。人文主义遍布英国思想领域的。标志是荷兰学者伊拉斯谟先后到牛津大学与剑桥大学讲授古典文化研究。托马斯·漠尔、克利斯朵夫·马洛和威廉·莎士比亚是英国人文主义的代表。

5、故人笑比中庭树,一日秋风一日疏。——杨绛《将饮茶》 6、我曾做过一个小梦,怪他一声不响地忽然走了。他现在故意慢慢走,让我一程一程送,尽量多聚聚,把一个小梦拉成一个万里长梦。这我愿意。送一程,说一声再见,又能见到一面。离别拉得长,是增加痛苦还是减少痛苦呢?我算不清。但是我陪他走的愈远,愈怕从此不见。——杨绛《我们仨》 7、我在融洽而优裕的环境里生长,全不知世事。可是我很严肃认真地考虑自己“该”学什么。所谓“该”,指最有益于人,而我自己就不是白活了一辈子。我知道这个“该”是很夸大的,所以羞于解释。父亲说,没有什么该不该,最喜欢什么,就学什么。我却不放心,伤感爱情。只问自己的喜爱,对吗?我喜欢文学,就学文学?爱读小说,就学小说?父亲说,喜欢的就是性之所近,就是自己最相宜的。——杨绛《将饮茶》 8、假如“心如明镜台”的比喻可以

如对您有帮助,请购买打赏,谢谢您! 美文学这门科目庞大之极,堪称英本自考之最。自己一个人看那么厚的一本书,不用说能不能看下来,能记住多少实在不好说! 我在复习的时候,总结了一些规律,与大家分享,望对你有用,帮你顺利通过! 1.题型分析: 一般来讲,肯定是这种类型:a.单项选择题(40道,40分)b.引文简析(无非就是问问作者是谁,出自哪个作品,主题意象什么的,4道,16分)c.简答题(4道,24分)d.论述题(无非就是分析加读后感,20分) 经验:你应该可以看出来了,重点当然是单选了,分数大,又好得分,实在不行还可以蒙。建议尽可能把书看一遍,但不要看作者生平,那肯定不会考。有个印象就可以了,不用去背,如果你汉语文学功底好,可以省去不少时间。 2.比例分析 据本人统计,历年来英美文学的国考试卷中英国文学占52%,美国文学占48%。(2003年4月例外,其中英国部分58%)其中,可以看出 单选题:前22题肯定为英国部分,其余为美国部分。 大题部分:基本上是一人一半,各占50% 经验:书上共652页,英国411页,美国241页。英国作家共38位,美国15位。其中,美国部分中,诗歌作品也比较少,比较好确认。结论:死学美国,顺带英国。 3.内容分析 历年命题的趋势逐渐由课文内容向选读作品转移,选读的比重越来越大。 经验:课文内容作到大体了解,但要特别重视作家艺术特色。选读部分加大力度,多注意书上的注释及选文大意和某些细节,尽量作到能用英语复述。实在不行,也至少作到能用汉语复述。 4.真题解析及预测 自学考试的一大特点就是重复率高,所以历年试题是必惫的复习材料,不可缺少。有人说:“一套真题等于3套模拟题!”这话绝对没错。所以要花大力气在上面。记得我考那回就有一道10分大题和前一年的一模一样。 注:马克吐温的《哈克贝里费恩历险记》的分析在2000~2002年中,连续考了三次。 经验:注意历年真题,尤其是去年的。去年的10分大题大致如下: a.《傲慢与偏见》中的三种婚姻 b.《白鲸》选文作品复述几分析象征意义。 ================================================ 4月14日]投机取巧教你过英美文学[压题篇] 本文是投机取巧过英美文学的最后一篇,收录北京市2004年4月10日英美文学考试的试题(除选择题外),是我在北京自考论坛处网友处所得,特此对提供帮助的朋友表示感谢。 二、1、Thomas Gray:Elegy in the Country Churchyard的第一段 2、Yeats的Down by the sallen garden,考的是他俩站在河边,那个女孩*在他肩头,他觉得自己年轻懵懂,而且泪流满面。 3、Emyly Bronte的Whuthering Heights里面Hethcliff在他lover临死之前的那段表现,还问了narrator 是谁 4、Emlily Dikinson的I Heard a Fly Buzz--When I died,问那个blue Buzz是什么意思
