六、綜述題

第三篇：美國(guó)文學(xué)名詞解釋

1.AmericanTranscendentalism:①transcendentalism has been defined philosophically as “ the recognition in man of the capability of knowing truth intuitively, or of attaining knowledge transcending the reach of the senses.②transcendentalists stress the importance of the Over-soul, the Individual and Nature.Other concepts that accompanied transcendentalism include the idea that nature is enabling and the idea that the individual is divine and, therefore, self-reliant.New England transcendentalism is the product of a combination of Native American Puritanism and European romanticism.③some prominent representatives include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau.2.Free verse

free verse means the rhymed or unrhymed poetry composed without paying attention to conversational rules of meter.Free verse was originated by a group of French poets of the late 19th century.Their purpose was to free themselves from the restrictions of formal metrical patterns and to recreate instead the free rhymes of nature period.Walt Whitman?s leaves of grass is perhaps the most notable example.3.American Puritanism: Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of the puritans.The Puritans were originally members of a division of the protestant church who wanted to purify their religious beliefs and practices.They accepted the doctrines of predestination, original sin and total depravity, and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace from God.American literature in the 17th century mostly consisted of Puritan literature.Puritanism had an enduring influence on American literature.It had become, to some extent, so much a state of mind, so much a part of national cultural atmosphere, rather than a set of tenets.it comes from the American puritans, who were the first immigrants moved to American continent in the 17th century.Original sin, predestination（預(yù)言）and salvation（拯救）were the basic ideas of American Puritanism.And, hard-working, piousness（虔誠(chéng),盡職），thrift and sobriety（清醒）were praised.4.American Dream: American dream means the belief that everyone can succeed as long as he/she works hard enough.It usually implies a successful and satisfying life.It usually framed in terms of American capitalism（資本主義）, its associated purported meritocracy,（知識(shí)界精華）and the freedoms guaranteed by the U.S.Bill of Rights.5.Imagism: the 1920s saw a vigorous literary activity in America.In poetry there appeared a strong reaction against Victorian poetry.Imagists placed primary reliance on the use of precise, sharp images as a means of poetic expression and stressed precision in the choice of words, freedom in the choice of subject matter and form, and

the use of colloquial language.Most of the imagist poets wrote in free verse, using such devices as assonance and alliteration rather than formal metrical schemes to give structure to their poetry..The movement which had these as its aims is known in literary history as Imagism.Its prime mover was Ezra Pound.6.American romanticism

①it is one of the most important periods in the history of American literature that stretches from the 18th century to the outbreak of the civil war.It started with the publication of Washington Irving?s The Sketch Book and ended with Walt Whitman?s Leaves of Grass.②being a period of the great flowering of American literature, it is also called “the American Renaissance ”.③American romantic works emphasize the imaginative and emotional qualities of nature literature.The strong tendency to eulogize the individual and common man was typical of this period.Most importantly, the writings of American Romanticism are typically American.Works concentrate on unique

characteristics of the American land.④New England Transcendentalism is the summit of American Romanticism.⑤Romanticists include such literary figures as Washington Irving, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, William Cullen Bryant, Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman and some others.

第四篇：美國(guó)文學(xué)名詞解釋

1.Naturalism:American naturalism was a new and harsher realism.America’s literary naturalists dismissed the validity of comforting moral truths.They attempted to achieve extreme objectivity and frankness, presenting characters of low social and economic classes who were determined by their environment and heredity.Puritanism:Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of the Puritans.They accepted the doctrine of predestination, original sin and total depravity, and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace form God.3.Realism: Realism emphasizes on a faithful rendering of the ordinary, a slice of life as it is really lived.It expresses the concern for commonplace and the low, and it offers an objective rather than an idealistic view of human nature and human experience.4.Romanticism: romantics frequently shared certain general characteristics: moral enthusiasm, faith in value of individualism and intuitive perception, and a presumption that the natural world was a source of goodness and man’s societies a source of corruption.Transcendentalism:They spoke for cultural rejuvenation and stressed the importance of the individual.They offered a fresh perception of nature as symbolic of the Spirit or God.Nature was, to them, alive, filled with God’s overwhelming presence.6.Imagism意象主義: It’s a poetic movement of England and the U.S.flourished from 1909 to 1917.The movement insists on the creation of images in poetry by “the direct treatment of the thing” and the economy of wording.7.Local Colorism: fiction or poetry that focuses on specific features – including characters, dialects, customs, history, and landscape – of a particular region.8.Lost Generation: It describes the Americans who remained in Paris as a colony of “expatriates” or exiles.It describes the writers like Hemingway who lived in semi poverty.It describes the Americans who returned to their native land with an intense awareness of living in an unfamiliar changing world.9.Beat Generation: It was a group of American post-World War IIwho came to prominence in the 1950s.They rejected conventional social and moral values;expressed their alienation in their works from conventional “square” society by adopting a life style which featured sex, drugs, jazz and the freedom of the open road.10.Symbolism: Symbolism is the writing technique of using symbols.It enables poets to compress a very complex idea or set of ideas into one image or even one word.It’s one of the most powerful devices that poets employ in creation.11.Modernism：is loosely a synonym of anything contemporary.Strictly, Modernism began in the late 19th century and regarded the theory of psycho-analysis as its theoretical base.They pay more attention to the psychic time than the chronological one.12.A Jazz age(爵士時(shí)代):The Jazz Age describes the period of the 1920s and 1930s.With the rise of the great depression, the values of this age saw much decline.Highlighting what some describe as the decadence and hedonism, as well as the growth of individualism.

第五篇：美國(guó)文學(xué)講義

1896年———1900年間斷斷續(xù)續(xù)在練習(xí)本上寫(xiě)下了自傳體長(zhǎng)篇小說(shuō)《讓·桑得伊》的草稿。1903～1905年普魯斯特父母先后去世，他閉門(mén)寫(xiě)作，除寫(xiě)了闡述美學(xué)觀點(diǎn)的論文《駁圣·勃夫》，并開(kāi)始了文學(xué)巨著《追憶似水年華》的創(chuàng)作。1912年，他將小說(shuō)前三部交給出版商，受到冷遇，1913年他自費(fèi)出版了第1部《斯萬(wàn)之家》，反應(yīng)冷淡。1919年，小說(shuō)第2部《在花枝招展的少女們身旁》由卡里瑪出版社出版，并獲龔古爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)，作者因而成名。普魯斯特作為意識(shí)流小說(shuō)流派的開(kāi)山鼻祖而在世界文學(xué)史上留名。

故事情節(jié)： 敘述者回憶起童年時(shí)在貢布雷的生活。有一年夏天晚上，鄰居斯萬(wàn)先生，來(lái)看望敘述者的父母，敘述者心里非常難受。有一年冬天，他把瑪?shù)氯R娜小蛋糕浸泡在茶水中吃，這味道使他想起他童年時(shí)。在貢布雷家，有兩條步行小道，一條通往斯萬(wàn)家，稱為斯萬(wàn)家之路，另一條通往蓋爾芒特府邸，稱為蓋爾芒特家之路。斯萬(wàn)先生在劇院里逐漸愛(ài)上高級(jí)妓女奧特·德·克雷西。維爾迪蘭夫人覺(jué)得斯萬(wàn)令人厭煩，便不再邀請(qǐng)他。

又進(jìn)入回憶狀態(tài)。他在貢布雷見(jiàn)萬(wàn)見(jiàn)希爾特·斯萬(wàn)。舊日同學(xué)布洛克帶他去嫖妓。媽媽桑向他介紹一位名叫拉謝爾的妓女。兩年后，外婆帶著他去海濱城市男主人巴爾貝克，外婆向他介紹了維爾巴里西斯侯爵夫人，和羅爾·德·圣盧。成為好朋友。馬塞爾經(jīng)由畫(huà)家艾爾斯蒂爾認(rèn)識(shí)了阿爾貝蒂娜·西蒙納，馬塞爾漸漸愛(ài)上了她。

回到巴黎后，父母親蓋了新房子。這時(shí)發(fā)生了全法國(guó)沸騰的“德雷福斯事件”。男主人翁想去探望。由于圣盧的牽線，馬塞爾受到優(yōu)厚的款待。一日外婆的尿毒癥突然發(fā)作去世。馬塞爾的母親知道他暗戀蓋爾芒特公爵夫人。男主人翁參加維爾巴里西斯夫人的晚會(huì)，見(jiàn)到蓋爾芒特公爵夫人，還結(jié)識(shí)了夏爾呂斯男爵。

馬塞爾第二次來(lái)到巴爾貝克海濱，偶然遇到阿爾貝蒂娜，又恢復(fù)了親密交往，最后馬塞爾還是決定娶她為妻。

馬塞爾與阿爾貝蒂娜在巴黎同居，阿爾貝蒂娜跟安德萊的女子很要好，馬塞爾懷疑她們有同性戀關(guān)系，后來(lái)此事得到證實(shí)。于是他想離開(kāi)她，卻無(wú)法痛下決心。阿爾貝蒂娜離家出走，給他留下一封信，說(shuō)他們不能再這樣生活下去，還是趁早分手。

阿爾貝蒂娜騎馬摔在樹(shù)上撞死了。這使他想去尋找別的女人。馬塞爾到威尼斯旅行，仍然時(shí)常想起阿爾貝蒂娜，他收到吉爾貝特的信，說(shuō)她已跟圣—盧結(jié)婚，后來(lái)圣—盧竟愛(ài)上了男提琴手莫萊爾。

第一次世界大戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)，圣—盧戰(zhàn)死，男主人翁一直待在療養(yǎng)院。見(jiàn)到親德份子夏呂斯，是一名同性戀，男伴男爵是性虐待狂，經(jīng)常鞭打他。大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束后，男主人翁來(lái)到蓋爾蘭特王府門(mén)前，又回想起威尼斯，交際場(chǎng)中更是景物已非，有人淪為乞丐，有人早己死去。他決定用文字將這些回憶記錄起來(lái)，找回了失去的時(shí)間。
