如何学习《英美文学选读》

要通过《英美文学选读》这门课考试,不是考前“冲刺”一类的短训能奏效的。这门课难就难在它的阅读量很大,它包括英国和美国的诸多作家的诸多作品,而每一部作品就是一部书。现行统一教材在作家和作品的选取方面尽管已经是精而又精了,但还是不得不采用节选的办法来压缩篇幅。即便如此,为了更好地理解作品,考生还不得不在对整部作品了解的基础上,在教师指导下反复阅读节选,才能对节选部分的内容以及思想有较好的理解。不过文学阅读也有规律可循。下面的文字就“选读”课的性质、阅读时读取什么信息、现行试题各个部分的考查点是什么、如何回答简单论述题等问题,给考生一点提示,希望能对考生学习、复习《英美文学选读》课提供一些帮助。 第一部分《英美文学选读》课的性质 一、《英美文学选读》课的重点是作品顾名思义,“英美文学选读”是有选择地阅读英美文学史上有影响作家的重要作品,熟知作品内容,了解大多数批评家和读者已经接受的对这些作品主题的表述,并能从作品中找到、列举出证明这些表述的细节。这样的定义里有三个要注意的问题。一是作品内容,二是作品里的细节,三是节作品主题。三个同等重要,学习者不能只取其一。以小说为例,所谓作品内容,是指情节(plot)、场景(setting)、人物(characters)、语气(tone)、以及语言(style)。情节是指故事里所展示的事件和这些事件按作家意愿有序的安排,如事件发生的背景、事件中涉及的人物、事件本身(即冲突)、以及解决冲突的办法和结果。情节就是故事;没有情节就没有故事;熟知情节是理解文学作品,特别是小说和戏剧的第一、也是不可缺少的一步。不掌握故事情节,对作品进行深入分析就无从谈起。有故事当然就有人,对人物的分析是对作品分析的核心。语气是指作者在他/她刻画人物、安排情节、描写场景时所持的态度,而作者的态度直接影响我们对作品思想的理解。作者要表达自己对人物、事件的态度,只有通过文字才能与读者交流,而不同的作家使用语言的风格(style)是不一样的。如果掌握了以上内容,就掌握了细节,之所以把细节单列出来,是因为多数考生只记得大概情节,考试中不能用具体的细节进行人物或思想分析、评述,空话太多。劳伦斯小说《儿子与情人》(Sons and Lovers)里,成年的保罗是如何仍然生活在他母亲的掌控之下的细节,是分析这部作品里的人物和主题的关键,不能引用相关细节作为根据,分析就失去了基础。阅读文学作品一定要在一般性的了解情节的基础上,尽量记一些细节,细节显示考生对作品的熟悉程度。主题是对作品思想的高度概括。教材里作家作品概述和作品简介(斜体部分),对作品主题已有简明准确的表述,考生不可不读。对这些表述的理解,又是以考生对作品内容、细节的掌握为基础的。作品内容、细节、主题是考生学习的重点。 两点说明: (一)这里我们姑且不讨论新批评对作者和作品关系的观点,也不去讨论接受美学和读者反映理论,本科阶段没有开设文学批评理论课,没有必要进行那样的讨论,教师也不要引入类似的话题,以免造成不必要的困惑。 (二)从历年考题来看,作家的生卒年月、家庭背景、接受教育情况、作品发表年代等都不在考察范围,考生不必在这些方面浪费时间。目前市场上有一些英美文学教材和辅导材料在作家生平上花费了相当的篇幅,有的甚至远远超过了对文学作品本身的介绍和分析,这类书籍对考生复习没有多大帮助。教育部组织专家编写的现行教材尽管可以再修改、完善,但它的最大好处是它给考生提供了学生最需要的作品概要和精确而恰当的分析(教材里作品前的斜体部分),对考生从作品全貌理解文学作品很有帮助。 二、文学作品与文学史的关系关于文学作品和文学史哪个在先、以及哪个更重要的问题,我们还是留给专门的学者去争论,我们要搞清楚的是考生学习过程中应该以哪一个为重点的问题。前面讲选读课的性质时已经讲过,《英美文学选读》课的重点是作品,以往考试所包括的内容也充分说明了这一点,似乎没有争论的必要。但我们不得不考虑另一个无法回避的问题:如何对待教材中每个文学阶段前对该时期影响文学作品的经济、文化、社会、思想思

必读英美文学经典作品20本 American Literature 1、The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Howthorne《红字》霍桑著 小说惯用象征手法,人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩,在描写中又常把人的心理活

动和直觉放在首位。因此,它不仅是美利坚合众国浪漫主义小说的代表作,同时也被称作 是美利坚合众国心理分析小说的开创篇。 2、The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 《哈克贝利.芬历险记》 简称《赫克》是美国文学中的珍品,也是美国文化中的珍品。十六年前【1984】 ,美国文坛为《赫克》出版一百周年举行了广泛的庆祝活动和学术讨论,也出版了一些研究马克吐温,特别是他的《赫克》的专著。专门为一位大作家的一本名著而举行如此广泛的纪念和专门的研究,这在世界文坛上也是少有的盛事。这是因为《赫克》的意义不一般. 美国著名作家海明威说, "一切现代美国文学来自一本书, 即马克吐温的《赫克尔贝里芬历险记》……这是我们所有书中最好的。一切美国文学都来自这本书,在它之前,或在它之后,都不曾有

过能与之媲美的作品。 3、The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James 《贵妇画像》 亨利.詹姆斯著】 美国小说家亨利·詹姆斯的《贵妇画像》自问世以来一直受到文学评论界的关注,专家学者已从各个不同角度对女主人伊莎贝尔·阿切尔作了深入细致的研究。本文试图从一个全新的视角,即跨文化交际角度,剖析伊莎贝尔在婚姻方面所作的选择。文章指出她是该小说中跨文化交际的最大失败者,并对其失败原因作了分析。希望在跨文化交际日益频繁的今天我们都能从伊莎贝尔的生活经历中得到某种启发。

英美文学流派整理

英美文学 玄学派:是指17世纪英国文坛出现的一个独特的诗歌流派。英国诗人约翰·邓恩是这个流派的代表人物,他因在诗歌中精妙地运用“奇喻”的比喻手法而蜚声文坛。它们往往以精致典雅的形式表现情感与观念的矛盾,把古典主义的性情与浪漫主义的风骨很好地融合到了一起。骑士文学盛行于西欧,反映了骑士阶层的生活理想。骑士精神和道德是上层社会的贵族文化精神,它是以个人身份的优越感为基础的道德与人格精神,但它也积淀这西欧民族远古尚武精神的某些积极因素。 三联剧:在古希腊悲剧创作中,有一类悲剧均由三部分组成,每部分即能独立存在,各部之间又有紧密联系。这种剧合则为一,分则为三,代表作家为埃斯库罗斯。 文艺复兴:是指13世纪末在意大利各城市兴起,以后扩展到西欧各国,于16世纪在欧洲盛行的一场思想文化运动,带来一段科学与艺术革命时期,揭开了近代欧洲历史的序幕,被认为是中古时代和近代的分界。 人文主义:是文艺复兴核心思想,是新兴资产阶级反封建的社会思潮,也是资产阶级人道主义的最初形式。它肯定人性和人的价值,要求享受人世的欢乐,要求人的个性解放和自由平等,推崇人的感性经验和理性思维。 七星诗社:是16世纪中期法国的一个文学团体,是由七位人文主义诗人组成的文学团体。他们中以龙沙和杜贝莱最著名。七星诗社的诗人们从事过各种创作,他们的诗声望很高,但他们的主要贡献却是对于法语改革的主张。 狂飙突进运动:是18世纪德国文学界的运动,是文艺形式从古典主义向浪漫主义过渡时的阶段,也可以说是幼稚时期的浪漫主义。但其中心代表人物是歌德和席勒,歌德的《少年维特的烦恼》是其典型代表作品,表达的是人类内心感情的冲突和奋进精神。 伤感主义:18世纪后期欧洲资产阶级启蒙运动中的一种文艺思潮,也称为“主情主义”。该派的得名,源与英国作家斯特恩的小说《在法国和意大利的感伤的旅行》。该派作家崇尚感情,把感情看的高于“理性”,因而强调文学的主要任务是细致刻画任务的心理动态和描写人物的不幸遭遇,以便唤起读者在感情上的同情和共鸣,表达出对当时贵族阶级的理性主义和古典主义的反抗。伤感主义把个人主义和主观幻想的因素带进文艺,代表作家有英国的斯特恩,理查逊,法国的卢梭(如《忏悔录》《遐想录》),伏尔泰,德国的歌德,里希特,海涅等等。 “梅塘集团”是十九世纪法国文坛由以左拉为核心的六位作家组成的文学创作团体。因在巴黎郊外左拉的梅塘别墅为主要活动场所而得名。一八七O年开始的普法战争,法国战败,被
