Part 1 Early and Medieval English Literature
“Early” here means English literature in primitive and slavery society.
“Medieval period” is a quite special period in English history. In Chinese “Medieval” or “The Middle Age” means “中世纪”. You may hear something about this period. It was called “The Middle Age” because it was considered as the time between ancient world and the modern world. Here “Medieval” means English literature in feudal England before the Renaissance.
I. Early English Literature (Anglo-Saxon Literature)
1, Historical Background
1 The earliest inhabitants of the British Isles were Britons, a tribe of Celts. Today most Celts lived in Scotland and Wales.
2 From 55 B.C. to 410 A. D. Romans conquered the Great Britain. The Roman army was led by Julius Caesar, who was a very famous figure in ancient Rome. He was a famous general and conquered lot of places in Europe and then he became dictator of Rome. He had famous words “I came, I saw, I conquered”. You can see how strong this man’s will is.
Consequence of Roman conquest: a network of highways; scores of towns, including London; Roman lifestyle
3 English Conquest
•Shortly after Romans’ retreat, the Britain was invaded by Anglos, Saxons and Jutes. And by the 7th century Old English emerged.
•Anglo-Saxon period witnessed a transition from tribal society to feudalism.
•Anglo-Saxons were Christianized in the 7th century. Before Christianization, Anglo-Saxons believed in old northern European mythologies. If you are interested in old Britain mythologies you may read the famous novel “The Lord of the Rings”, which was a collection of old northern European mythologies. The Christianization of Anglo-Saxons influenced the record of old English literature.
2, Beowulf ?? National epic of English people
1 Definition of epic: an extended narrative poem in elevated or dignified language, celebrating the feats of a legendary or traditional hero
2 Story of Beowulf
•Ask students to read the story of Beowulf on textbook by themselves and then ask them “What are the three adventures mentioned in the story?”
•The story of Beowulf includes three adventures: killing monster Grendel, killing Grendel’s mother and killing a fire dragon.
3 Some important points
•“Beowulf” is a folk legend brought to England by Anglo-Saxons from their continental homes. However it also reflected the features of the tribal society in Britain.
•Originally Beowulf, the great epic, was in oral form and it must be a collective creation.
•Beowulf in the epic is a legendary figure. In formal history you can not find a man named Beowulf.
④ Artistic features of “Beowulf”
•Using alliteration
Definition of alliteration: a rhetorical device, meaning some words in a sentence begin with the same consonant sound（头韵）
Some examples on P5
•Using metaphor and understatement
Definition of understatement: expressing something in a controlled way
Understatement is a typical way for Englishmen to express their ideas. You may find some examples on P6
⑤ Epic tradition in Europe
long narrative verse, part-historical and part-legendary origin
This tradition can be traced back to Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey”. Similar works in Europe are “Edda” and “Saga” from Iceland etc. (referring to 《欧洲文学史》)
3, “Anglo-Saxon Chronicle”
• The book was conceived by King Alfred the Great. He also organized and supervised the writing process of the book.
•This book is a very important historical document and specimen of Anglo-Saxon prose.
II, Medieval English Literature
1, Historical Background
1 Norman conquest in 1066 marks the establishment of feudalism in England.
2 By the end of the 14th century, the Middle English emerged.
3 The ecclesiastics, from the monks and the clergy to the bishops and archbishops, together possessed over one third of the land in the country and owned numerous serfs, and had their tithes and ecclesiastical courts and the backing of the Pope in Rome. They had much political as well as religious power. Understanding the great influence of Christianity in the medieval Europe is very important for you to understand their literature because Christianity is one of the two resources of European culture.

VII. The beginning of English Drama.
1. Miracle Plays.
Miracle play or mystery play is a form of medieval drama that came from dramatization of the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. It developed from the 10th to the 16th century, reaching its height in the 15th century. The simple lyric character of the early texts was enlarged by the addition of dialogue and dramatic action. Eventually the performance was moved to the churchyard and the marketplace.
2. Morality Plays.
A morality play is a play enforcing a moral truth or lesson by means of the speech and action of characters which are personified abstractions – figures representing vices and virtues, qualities of the human mind, or abstract conceptions in general.
3. Interlude.
The interlude, which grew out of the morality, was intended, as its name implies, to be used more as a filler than as the main part of an entertainment. As its best it was short, witty, simple in plot, suited for the diversion of guests at a banquet, or for the relaxation of the audience between the divisions of a serious play. It was essentially an indoors performance, and generally of an aristocratic nature.

(2) The Cavalier poets.
(3) Milton: the literary and philosophical heritage of the Renaissance merged with Protestant political and moral conviction
2. The restoration period.
(1) The restoration of Charles II ushered in a literature characterized by reason, moderation, good taste, deft management, and simplicity. (school of Ben Jonson)
(2) The ideals of impartial investigation and scientific experimentation promoted by the newly founded Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge (1662) were influential in the development of clear and simple prose as an instrument of rational communication.
(3) The great philosophical and political treatises of the time emphasize rationalism.
(4) The restoration drama.
(5) The Age of Dryden.
III. John Milton
1. Life: educated at Cambridge—visiting the continent—involved into the revolution—persecuted—writing epics.
2. Literary career.
(1) The 1st period was up to 1641, during which time he is to be seen chiefly as a son of the humanists and Elizabethans, although his Puritanism is not absent. L'Allegre and IL Pens eroso (1632) are his early masterpieces, in which we find Milton a true offspring of the Renaissance, a scholar of exquisite taste and rare culture. Next came Comus, a masque. The greatest of early creations was Lycidas, a pastoral elegy on the death of a college mate, Edward King.
(2) The second period is from 1641 to 1654, when the Puritan was in such complete ascendancy that he wrote almost no poetry. In 1641, he began a long period of pamphleteering for the puritan cause. For some 15 years, the Puritan in him alone ruled his writing. He sacrificed his poetic ambition to the call of the liberty for which Puritans were fighting.
(3) The third period is from 1655 to 1671, when humanist and Puritan have been fused into an exalted entity. This period is the greatest in his literary life, epics and some famous sonnets. The three long poems are the fruit of the long contest within Milton of Renaissance tradition and his Puritan faith. They form the greatest accomplishments of any English poet except Shakespeare. In Milton alone, it would seem, Puritanism could not extinguish the lover of beauty. In these works we find humanism and Puritanism merged in magnificence.
3. Major Works
(1) Paradise Lost
a. the plot.
b. characters.
c. theme: justify the ways of God to man.
(2) Paradise Regained.
(3) Samson Agonistes.
4. Features of Milton’s works.
(1) 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 an important prose writer. The two most essential things to be remembered about him are his Puritanism and his republicanism.
(2) Milton wrote many different types of poetry. He is especially a great master of blank verse. He learned much from Shakespeare and first used blank verse in non-dramatic works.
(3) Milton is a great stylist. He is famous for his grand style noted for its dignity and polish, which is the result of his life-long classical and biblical study.
(4) Milton has always been admired for his sublimity of thought and majesty of expression.
IV. John Bunyan
1. life:
(1) puritan age;
(2) poor family;
(3) parliamentary army;
(4) Baptist society, preacher;
(5) prison, writing the book.
2. The Pilgrim Progress
(1) The allegory in dream form.

(3) the theme.
V. Metaphysical Poets and Cavalier Poets.
1. Metaphysical Poets
The term “metaphysical poetry” is commonly used to designate the works of the 17th century writers who wrote under the influence of John Donne. Pressured by the harsh, uncomfortable and curious age, the metaphysical poets sought to shatter myths and replace them with new philosophies, new sciences, new words and new poetry. They tried to break away from the conventional fashion of Elizabethan love poetry, and favoured in poetry for a more colloquial language and tone, a tightness of expression and the single-minded working out of a theme or argument.
2. Cavalier Poets
The other group prevailing in this period was that of Cavalier poets. They were often courtiers who stood on the side of the king, and called themselves “sons” of Ben Jonson. The Cavalier poets wrote light poetry, polished and elegant, amorous and gay, but often superficial. Most of their verses were short songs, pretty madrigals, love fancies characterized by lightness of heart and of morals. Cavalier poems have the limpidity of the Elizabethan lyric without its imaginative flights. They are lighter and neater but less fresh than the Elizabethan’s.
VI. John Dryden.
1. Life:
(1) the representative of classicism in the Restoration.
(2) poet, dramatist, critic, prose writer, satirist.
(3) changeable in attitude.
(4) Literary career—four decades.
(5) Poet Laureate
2. His influences.
(1) He established the heroic couplet as the fashion for satiric, didactic, and descriptive poetry.
(2) He developed a direct and concise prose style.
(3) He developed the art of literary criticism in his essays and in the numerous prefaces to his poems.
Chapter 5 English Literature of the 18th Century
I. Introduction
1. The Historical Background.
2. The literary overview.
(1) The Enlightenment.
(2) The rise of English novels.
When the literary historian seeks to assign to each age its favourite form of literature, he finds no difficulty in dealing with our own time. As the Middle Ages delighted in long romantic narrative poems, the Elizabethans in drama, the Englishman of the reigns of Anne and the early Georges in didactic and satirical verse, so the public of our day is enamored of the novel. Almost all types of literary production continue to appear, but whether we judge from the lists of publishers, the statistics of public libraries, or general conversation, we find abundant evidence of the enormous preponderance of this kind of literary entertainment in popular favour.
(3) Neo-classicism: a revival in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries of classical standards of order, balance, and harmony in literature. John Dryden and Alexander Pope were major exponents of the neo-classical school.
(4) Satiric literature.
(5) Sentimentalism

未央区17534693925： 武汉理工大学英语专业研究生怎么样? - ？
尧都艾汀： 不是吧,又是个考工科学校文科专业的学生.别以为就好考了,这样的学校,初试成绩要求不高,上线的和高分的人超过,而且报名人数也多.因为大家和你一样的想法.比如西南交大,也是211.名气虽然大点,但也是个典型案例 它的英语专业去年要341分才能进复试,报的人超多.压力巨大.其实楼主既然过了六级,应该试试211的普通文科大学.如果你依然没信心,那我不劝你了,因为你的选择早已清楚得不能再清楚了.还有,不要觉得那些英语专业的就牛了,现在很多人都是天天打酱油.应该有股冲劲儿嘛楼主. 额,考研二外没那么难,即使是日语.我自学了三个月日语,都可以考学位外语考试(相当于日语3-2级) 日语绝对比法语简单!相信我没错的
未央区17534693925： 英语专业考研问题~! - ？
尧都艾汀： 首先我要说你现在大二,时间非常充裕,而专四在65-75之间,证明你的基础不错,因此结论:只要你下定决心去考,没有做不到的事情.1,适合自己的高校,要看你有没有特别向往的咯,关键看那个学校英语专业的实力如何,值不值得用2年多的时间去读个研究生.2,怎样准备复习,要考四门,政治,二外,两门专业课,基础英语多靠平时的积累,选定专业方向后,总体来说到时候一一攻破.3,翻译证可以考虑考啊,上海口译,全国翻译,依照参考书,多看多练~4,就算失败了也不会耽误就业的,因为在准备考研的过程中,你无论在学业还是心智上都有了极大的升华~
未央区17534693925： 我是一个英语专业的学生,我想看一些关于英美文化、历史方面的书,对于我的专业有用的,谢谢~ - ？
尧都艾汀： 其实 真的 最最直观有效的办法 可以看看 西方经典思想选读 还有 圣经 和希罗通话 真的 还有 可以看看名人的读书笔记 例如 乔治奥威尔 毛姆的 等
未央区17534693925： a brief history of english literature中文版本是啥 - ？
尧都艾汀： 《英国文学简史》或译为《简明英国文学史》,翻译方法不一样~ 不知楼主说的是哪个出版社的~ 南开 常耀信的《英国文学简史》英文名不是这样的~ 有一本蓝色封面的叫你说的这个名字,作者是John Peck~你说的是这本吗?这本好像没有在国内出版呢~也没有中文翻译版~ 你要是想看关于英国文学方面的书,可以看国内教材~ 起步可以看吴伟仁的〈英国文学史及选读〉,再买一本汉语翻译参考书看,这样更明白~ 难度大一点的可以看 常耀信的《英国文学简史》,他这本有点深,专业术语挺多的,英语专业考研一般看他这本~ 楼主还有什么问题可以再问我~

未央区17534693925： 考湖南大学的英语研究生应该看哪些参考书籍? - ？

未央区17534693925： 武汉理工大学英语专业研究生好考吗 - ？
尧都艾汀： 考研要是抱着这样的态度好像不是很好,武汉理工不能算是比较综合性的大学,所以偏重理工类的学科,英语算是它的下脚料专业了.你要是真的想读英语专业继续深造的话,即使是为了日后找工作,那还是多给自己一点压力,这样你三年后毕业压力才会小一些.建议考武汉大学或者华中师范大学的英语硕士.人你不逼自己一把永远不知道你可以做成功很多事情,加油吧!祝你成功.
