《外国文学史》 练习题(一)参考答案解析

《外国文学史》练习题（一）参考答案 一、分析论述题 1.比较分析文艺复兴时期意大利、西班牙、法国和英国文学发展的异同。 意大利： 是文艺复兴运动的发源地，因而人文主义文学的新文学出现也最早。彼特拉克是人文主义的先驱，被誉为“人文主义之父”。他用意大利语写成的抒情诗集是《歌集》，主要歌咏对劳拉的爱情，表现了以现世幸福为中心的爱情观。《歌集》的形式，以十四行诗为主，为后来欧洲抒情诗开辟一条新的道路。 薄迦丘的杰作是《十日谈》。该作勇敢地向教会的禁欲主义提出挑战。作品反映意大利社会的现实，多以爱情为主题，大胆揭露天主教僧侣和封建贵族的生活腐朽、道德败坏；赞美商人、手工业者的聪明、勇敢、热爱现世生活，反对禁欲主义。 15世纪以后，意大利的人文主义文学曾一度繁荣，但总的成就不如早期。 法国： 法国的人文主义文学开始于15世纪末，16世纪取得了很高的成就。法国人文主义文学的显著特点是自始至终存在着贵族和平民两种倾向。 以龙沙等七人组成的“七星诗社”具有浓重的贵族倾向。他们肯定生活，歌颂自然与爱情，反对禁欲主义，注重民族语言的统一和民族诗歌的建立，但轻视民间语言和民间文学，艺术上追求典雅的风格。 拉伯雷是法国人文主义文学平民倾向的杰出代表 西班牙： 西班牙从15世纪末走向统一，但强盛时期非常短暂，16世纪中叶以后便开始衰落。因此，资本主义关系没有得到充分发展，人文主义文学出现较晚。此前西班牙文坛的流浪汉小说和骑士文学畸形繁荣，直到16世纪、17世纪间，人文主义文学才带来了西班牙文学的“黄金时代”。西班牙人文主义文学的杰出作家是塞万提斯。 这一时期的戏剧得到了繁荣。维加是西班牙戏剧的奠基者，被誉为“西班牙戏剧之父”。代表作为《羊泉村》，描绘了1476年羊泉村人民反抗领主压迫的史实。 英国： 英国的人文主义文学在14世纪就已经出现。最早的作家是乔叟。在意大利人文主义文学影响下，他的诗作显示出反封建、反教会、追求个性自由的倾向。代表作是《坎特伯雷故事集》受薄迦丘《十日谈》影响，较全面地反映了14世纪英国的社会生活，揭露了封建阶级尤其是教会的腐败无耻，肯定了对世俗爱情的追求。 15世纪末，一批新的人文主义学者登上文坛。托马斯·莫尔是其中最重要的代表。他的主要著作《乌托邦》是一部对话体幻想小说，成为欧洲空想社会主义的最初重要著作之一。 16世纪，英国文艺复兴运动达到高潮，人文主义文学空前发达。此时文学成就最大的是戏剧。在莎士比亚之前，出现了一批所谓“大学才子”的剧作家。“大学才子”剧作家是16世纪后期在英国出现的一批人文主义剧作家，他们大都受过大学教育，具有人文主义思想，学识渊博，在戏剧创作上颇有创新。代表人物有李利、马洛等，他们为莎士比亚戏剧的出现准备了条件。马洛在“大学才子”中年龄最小贡献最大，是莎士比亚的先
