3 Early and Medieval English Literature Geoffrey Chaucer, the founder of English poetry, was born, about 1340, in London. He was the son of a wine merchant who had connections with the court.

4 Francis Bacon “ Of Studies ” To be recited Compared with 《劝学篇》

5 Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring, for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For different expert man can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; But the general courses and the plots and marshalling of affaires, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time on study is sloth, to use them too much for ornament, is affectation, to make judgment only by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature and are perfected by experience, for nature abilities are like nature plants, that need to be pruning by study, and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large. Of Studies

6 君子曰:学不可以已。青,取之于蓝,而青于蓝;冰,水为 之,而寒于水。木直中绳,揉以为轮,其曲中规,虽有槁暴, 不复挺者,輮使之然也。故木受绳则直,金就砾则利。君子博 学而日参省乎己,则知明而行无过矣。 吾尝终日而思矣,不如须臾之所学也。吾尝跂而望矣,不如 登高之博见也。登高而招,臂非加长也,而见者远。顺风而呼, 声非加疾也,而闻者彰。假舆 马者,非利足也,而致千里。假 舟辑者,非能水也,而绝江河。君子生非异也,善假于物也。 积土成山,风雨兴焉。积水成渊,蛟龙生焉。积善成德,而 神明自得,圣心备焉。故不积跬步,无以至千里;不积小流, 无以成江海。骐骥一跃,不能十步;驽马十驾,功在不舍。锲 而舍之,朽木不折;锲而不舍,金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利, 筋骨 之强,上食埃土,下饮黄泉,用心一也。蟹六跪而二螯,非蛇 蟺之穴无可寄托者,用心躁也。 荀子 · 劝学

After studying at Oxford for little more than a year, he was forced to leave the university by poverty. Then followed his long struggle as a hack writer.

26 Sonnet 18 William Shakespeare Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of the heaven shines And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as a man can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives live to thee.

27 致橡树 我如果爱你 ——/ 绝不学攀援的凌霄花, / 借你的高枝炫耀自己; 我如果爱你 ——/ 绝不学痴情的鸟儿, / 为绿荫重复单调的歌曲; 也不止像泉源 / 常年送来清凉的慰籍; / 也不止像险峰, 增加你的高度, / 衬托你的威仪。 / 甚至日光 / 甚至春雨 不,这些都还不够 / 我必须是你近旁的一株木棉, 作为树的形像和你站在一起。 / 根,相握在地下; 叶,相触在云里。 / 每一阵风吹过,我们都互相致意, 但没有人 / 听懂我们的言语 / 你有你的铜枝铁干, 像刀像剑也像戟; / 我有我红硕的花朵, / 像沉重的叹息, 又像英勇的火炬 / 我们分担寒潮风雷霹雳; 我们共享雾霭流岚虹霓; / 仿佛永远分离,却又终身相依 这才是伟大的爱情, / 坚贞就在这里 / 爱 / 不仅爱你伟岸的身躯, 也爱你坚持的位置, / 足下的土地。

28 John Milton (1608—1674) “Paradise Lost” Its meaning of equity Background : John Milton, the greatest English poet after Shakespeare, was the one great literary figure who want tried seriously to combine Renaissance and Reformation. His rich stories of classical learning with revival of deep religious feeling.

29 Milton’s work can be divided into three creative period. The first period was up to 1641, during which time he was to be seen chiefly as a son of the humanity and Elizabethans, although his Puritanism was not absent. Milton is one of the very few truly great English writers who is also a prominent figure in politics and who is both a great poet and important prose writer.

33 Romantic Artists John Constable J.M.W. Turner Eugene Delacroix J.F.Goya

41 Robert Burns (1759—?) “A Red, Red Rose” “Auld Lang Syne” Romantic Authors

42 抒发情怀是文人墨客的做派,同时也是 所有读书人表达对时事,人生百态的观点的 最好的一种方式。中西文化在这一点上是完 全相同的。

43 Burns 的 A Red, Red Rose 是一首难得的好情诗。 Auld Lang Syne. 更是成了全世界家喻户晓的好歌,很像 中国的王洛宾的那首《在那遥远的地方》。其实,抒发像 Auld Lang Syne 这种韵味,无论哪个民族都有,如《月 光下的凤尾竹》由施光南作曲,云南傣族人用葫芦丝演奏 的曲调也有异曲同工的效果。 要启发学生读进文学作品,同时也要走出文学作品,将 作品给予的启发和感受时刻与现实生活相联系。更要通过 阅读脍炙人口的作品提高个人的修养。

44 Herbert Schiller German romanticist who idealized heroic deeds and struggles for freedom.

45 Wolfgang von Goethe, author of “Faust”

46 Sir Walter Scott Author of Ivanhoe & Rob Roy. Romantic themes included Scottish nationalism & independence.

50 William Wordsworth principal poem : We are seven Lines Written in Early Spring To the cuckoo I Wondered lonely as a cloud The Solitary Reaper Intimations or Immortality The Prelude

51 I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud ----William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the tress, Fluttering and dance in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in the never-ending line Along the margin of a bay; Ten thousand say I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company; I gazed – and gazed – but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dance with the daffodils. 1 2 34

52 轻轻的我走了, 正如我轻轻的来; 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。 那河畔的金柳 是夕阳中的新娘 波光里的艳影, 在我的心头荡漾。 软泥上的青荇, 油油的在水底招摇; 在康河的柔波里, 我甘心做一条水草 再别康桥 那树荫下的一潭, 不是清泉,是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻间, 沉淀着彩虹似的梦。 寻梦?撑一支长篙, 向青草更青处漫溯, 满载一船星辉, 在星辉斑斓里放歌 但我不能放歌, 悄悄是别离的笙箫; 夏虫也为我沉默, 沉默是今晚的康桥! 悄悄的我走了, 正如我悄悄的来; 我挥一挥衣袖, 不带走一片云彩。 徐志摩

53 徐志摩是 20 世纪初中国杰出的诗人、散文家, 是一 个值得敬佩和怀念的名字。他不仅在五四新文学史 上是 “ 新月社 ” 的巨挚、 “ 新月诗派 ” 的祭酒, 在新文学 创作上所发射的光芒, 如日中天, 久而不晦 ; 而且他风 流、浪漫的人生, 同样是那样传奇瑰丽, 又富有诗情 画意, 可与中国的李商隐、温庭绚、杜牧, 英国的拜 伦、雪莱、济慈相媲美。悲喜交织的爱情, 放荡不羁 的生活, 外圆内方的交际, 惊世骇俗的创作, 绝顶天才 的智慧, 卑己自牧的性格, 浪迹天涯的漫游, 构成了徐 志摩的卓尔不群, 更为中国文坛平添了不少佳话。

54 徐志摩的一生, 是浪漫不羁的一生, 虚无缭纱的一生, 耐人寻味的一生, 所以有人说他胸襟开阔, 心灵纯洁, 人 格高尚, 作品光辉, 举世无双, 名垂千古 ; 也有人说他颓 废堕落, 道德败坏, 色情猥亵, 风花雪月, 风流倜傥。徐 志摩逝世 70 年来, 人们仍没有真正地了解和认识他。 那些 “ 评传 ” 之类的书籍, 就像流水账一样, 记录了徐志 摩支离破碎的一生, 却未能深入地剖析当时中国知识 分子所面临的种种磨难, 特别是对西方文化的接受 ; 至 于徐志摩的作品如何融合东西方文化的格调和趣味, 研究的人更少。

55 徐志摩原名章垿, 号志摩, 浙江海宁人。 1920 年获美 国哥伦比亚大学社会学硕士, 后转英国剑桥大学取得特 别生资格, 在王家学院随意选课听讲。从此他抛弃了以 往攻读的社会学、经济学, 改学文学, 他的思想和生活发 生了很大变化。徐志摩在剑桥期间致力于西洋文学的 钻研, 历时两年。这个时期, 他的感情如山洪暴发, 生命 受到一种伟大力量的震撼。缤纷的花雨, 不成熟的意念, 新诗的心境, 我们可以从他的那篇《想飞》看出这时候 他思想生活的轨迹。这时的徐志摩已由一个单纯的爱 国青年, 转变成为一个浪漫诗人, 并创立了 “ 生活是艺术 ” 的所谓 “ 艺术的人生观 ” 。

56 刘心皇曾这样评价说, 徐志摩之所以可爱, 除了徐志摩 绝没有一般文人的小气、多疑、嫉妒、搬弄是非, 或是今 日连甲攻乙, 明日连丙攻甲 …… 的毛病之外, 尤其在于 (1) 性格好 : 热情诚挚, 淳朴天真, 有赤子之心, 是一团同情, 是一团爱。 (2) 对朋友好 : 他有同情心, 是朋友之间的连锁。 (3) 对一般人好 : 他对任何人任何事绝没有怨恨, 永不恨人, 也永想不到人会恨他。 (4) 极风趣 : 很自然地讨人欢喜, 他 一生决不让人苦闷。这是对徐志摩其人的一个极好的概 括, 入微入妙, 逼真逼肖。 摘自:《风流才子 —— 徐志摩》

57 O blithe new-comer! I have heard, I hear thee and rejoice. O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird, Or but a wandering Voice? While I am lying on the grass Thy twofold shout I hear; From hill to hill it seems to pass At once far off, and near. Though babbling only to the Vale, Of sunshine and of flowers, Thou bringest unto me a tale Of visionary hours. Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring! Even ye thou art to me No bird, but an invisible thing, A voice a mystery; And I can listen to thee yet; Can lie upon the plain And listen, till I do beget That golden time again. O blessed Bird! the earth we pace Again appears to be An unsubstantial, faery place; That is fit home for thee! The same whom in my schoolboy days I listened to; that Cry Which made me look a thousand ways In bush, and tree, and sky. To seek thee did I often rove Through woods and on the green; And thou wert still a hope, a love; Still longed for, never seen.

Part Two of Goethe’s Faust is published posthumously in 1832. The figure of Goethe’s Euphorion is based on Byron. Goethe: “Byron is not antique and is not romantic, but he is the present day itself. Such a one I had to have. Moreover, he was just my man on account of his unsatisfied nature and of his warlike bent, which led him to his doom at Missolonghi.”

64 She walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that 's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

65 Percy Bysshe Shelley(1792-1822) “Ode To The West Wind” “Ozymandias”

66 Percy Shelly, fought injustice;and Greek war of independence from the Turks.

68 Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is: What if my leaves are falling like its own? The tumult of thy mighty harmonies Will take from both a deep autumnal tone, Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one! Drive my dead thoughts over the universe, Like wither’d leaves, to quicken a new birth; And, by the incantation of this verse, Scatter, as from an unextinguish’d hearth Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind! Be through my lips to unawaken’d earth The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? Ode to the West Wind Chart 5

70 John Keats(1795-1821) “To Autumn” Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cells.

71 Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep, Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twinéd flowers: And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

72 Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,— While barréd clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

84 Jane Austen(1775—1817) “Pride and Prejudice” “Sense and Sensibility” “Emma” “Persuasion” “Mansfield Park”

85 Jane Austen(1775—1817) “Pride and Prejudice” It is the story of a young girl who rejects an offer of marriage because the young nobleman who makes it has been rude to her family. It is a very plot but around it the authoress has woven vivid pictures or the everyday life of simple country society. Purpose: ask the students to read novels of the time that they clearly get aware of it. Like the time economy, history and persons. Also a lot of incidents which are related to them. Only on the base if through understanding the history with regards to economic, military and even climatic change or development can we fully understand the hero or the heroing of the literatural world.

86 Besides this we should compare them with present time if the time of our own culture. Like Victorian age and late Qing Dynasty, students should know Chao Xueqin, Lin Zhenxu. Also some questions should be raised always in the mind. Why Victorian Age was so powerful in terms of her economic and military and industrial development. Assignment: A essay on Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice.

87 1. Through all the writing practice students can get more benefits in narration. Talks and discussion on Tess would set people thinking. Suppose Tess’s happy ending. What it would be like? Ask students to prepare imagined ending. hoping Tess will happily live with Angel and with the baby growing healthily. 2. Other novelists of the Victorian Age: Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell(1818—1865). She has a strong sympathy for the workers. Masterpiece: Cranford, Marry Barton, Biography of Charlotte Bronte

88 Jane Austen completed six novels, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. Her novels were published anonymously owing to the prejudice prevailing at the time concerning the writing of novels by a lady. Living a quiet life in the countryside, she kept her eyes steadily upon the people and incidents about herm, and wrote the small part of the world she lived in.

89 “Pride and Prejudice” has been the most widely read among them. Austen began to write it when she was 21.But the manuscript “went begging” for 16 years at the doors of publishers before it was published in 1813.It is the story of a young girl who rejected an offer of marriage because the young nobleman who makes it has been rude to her family. It is a very thin plot, but around it the authoress has woven vivid pictures if the everyday life of simple country society. Through description id the daily talks and doings of the young men and the women. Austen paints their characters. She is at her best in writing about young girls, because she understood them astonishingly well.

90 Victorian Age Queen Victorian was the ruler of English from 1837 to 1901, so it is customary to call the writing produced during this long stretch or years Victorian literature. Three phases: the Early Victorian Period (1832—1848), a time of troubles: the Mid— Victorian Period(1848—1870), a time of economic prospering and religious controversy; and the Last Period(1870—1901), a time characterized by decay of Victorian values.

91 试图以历史学观察中国文化、经济、政治、军 事的发展史兼与英国同时期的文学作品作比较。 维多利亚时期的世纪人物: 马克思、亚当斯密、 达尔文、狄更斯、萨克雷、哈代. 中国该时代的人物有慈禧、曹雪芹、林则徐、 魏源。 细目: 1 、以英国为首的资本主义大扩张 2 、工人的生活条件和宪章运动 3 、改革 4 、达尔文的进化论 5 、妇女问题

92 维多利亚时期的文学 乐观主义与悲观主义者: Charles Dickens David Copperfield William Makepeace Thomas Hardy Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

93 Victorian Poetry 维多利亚时期的诗歌 Alfred Lord Tennyson

94 Thomas Hardy “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” Questions: the modern meaning o female problem; women’s liberation. Is there still a Tess around you? There figure Alec, Angel Clare, talker of Tess, are good people. 一百年前的人物在现实社会中的意义,从 Tess 的悲 剧看爱情的宿命和幸福的乌托邦。思考该小说对学生 的生活指导意义。 Tess 是悲剧的总和,从 Alec 和 Angel 的来往,对女性 的看法沿袭了古代的做法。

95 “Jane Erye” 透析 Jane 与 Helen 的对话中善与恶的启蒙思想, 两人对 Helen 的不同看法,展示了人群的价值观 “ 善为先 ” 如 Jane 眼中 Temple 是可恶的,而 Helen 如 此 : Miss Temple is full of goodness. She guilty tells me of my mistakes, and praises me if I do well. Jane 在成长的变化中已是显露出起善念的转 变。 Jane 的婶子 Mrs. Reed 在临死前与 Jane 的对话 又可看出其善念开始下降。

96 “Why did I never hear of this? I asked, amaze. I hated you so much that I wrote back to him, telling him you had died o typhus fever at Lowood. That was my revenge on you, for causing me so much trouble!” She cried angrily. “Dear aunt,” I said, “don’t think about that any more… 解释:从 Jan 对 Rochester 的求婚的对白试图说明 男女之间情爱的追求和人生命赋义。

The Mayor of Casterbridge. Jude the obscure.

99 Lecture with Debate : Talks Topic :Comparison between Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray The coincidence of the same birth period of the two great novelists The main idea or rough impression of the two. Why you like either of them? Thackeray, borrowing Bunyan’s idea “Vanity city ” regard the circle o petty bourgeois and aristocratic society as Vanity Faire, a faire where should sold all sorts of vanity. Therefore, at this faire are all such merchandise sold, as horses, lands, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles countries, Kingdoms, lusts, pleasures and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones and what not
