How is Romanticism different from Neoclassicism? Provide brief evidence from the literary works you know best.

1: Neoclassicists upheld that artistic ideals should be order,logic, restrained emotion and accuracy, and that literature should be judged in terms of its service to humanity, and thus, literary expression should be of proportion, unity, harmony and grace.

2: Romanticists tended to see the individual as the very center of all experience, including art, and thus, literary work should be “spontaneous overflow of strong feelings ”, and no matter how fragmentary those experiences were, the value of the work lied in the accuracy of presenting those unique feelings and particular attitudes.

3: In a word, Neoclassicism emphasizes rationality and form but Romanticism attached great importance to the individual’s mind.

威廉•布莱克 生于伦敦一个爱尔兰裔小商人家庭,一生中,他都身兼诗人与雕刻家两重角色,他的天才在他的有生之年是默默无闻的,只是在他去世后才被人挖掘出来并一举成名。

在文学上,布莱克是第一位重要的浪漫主义诗人,表现出对理性至上的轻视,对18世纪古典主义的叛逆以及对个人幻想的重视。

布莱克的代表作《天真之歌》表述了一个愉快而纯洁的世界,尽管这个世界也偶有苦难与罪恶。《经验之歌》则描绘了一个截然不同的世界,一个充满苦难、贫穷、疾病与战争的世界,笔调极悔穗为忧伤压抑。

《天真之歌》中不少诗篇都在《经验之歌》中有着姊妹篇。比如“孩童之欣喜”与“孩童之忧愁”对应,纯洁的羔羊与燃烧的猛虎对应。两部诗集主题相似,笔调不同。

1.| Songs of Innocence & Songs of Experience |

【 Brief introduce 】

A. The Songs of Innocence is a lovely volume of poems, presenting a happy and innocent world, though not without its evils and sufferings.

B. His Songs of Experience paints a different world, a world of misery, poverty, disease, war and repression with a melancholy tone.

C. Childhood is the central to Blake's concern in the Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.

2. | Tyger |

What does "symmetry" mean?

The well-proportioned body of the tiger.

What does "tyger" refer to?

There are different opinions about the tiger. Some say the tiger is made by God. Others say it is made by men. One more idea thinks that The Tyger is a poem about work, about artistic creation.

  Please make a comment on William Blake's poetry.

A. His first collection of poems Poetical Sketches is one of youthful verse with joy, laughter, love and harmony as its prevailing notes.

B. The second volume of his Songs of Innocence presents a happy and innocent world.

C. The third — Songs of Experience paints a different world, a world of misery, poverty, disease, war and repression with a melancholy tone.

The last two hold the similar subject-matter, but their tone, emphasis and conclusion differ. Childhood remains central to the poet's concern in the two, with a number of poems from them can be pairs.

For example, the two poems both entitled "Chimney Sweeper" are such pairs, for the one in the Songs of Innocence indicates the conditions of the exploitation of child labor, which make religion a consolation, but the one in the Songs of Experience reveals the true nature of religion which helps bring misery to the poor children.

D. The maturity of Blake's poetry is shown in his poem Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which the relationship of the contraries is explored, for in the poet's eyes, "without contraries, there is no progression."

  What does the poem "The Chimney Sweeper (from Songs of Experience)" reveal?

The two “Chimney Sweeper”poems are good examples to reveal the relation between an economic circumstance, i.e.the exploitation of child labor, and ideological circumstance. i.e.the role played by religion in making people compliant to exploitation.In the Songs of Experience reveals the true nature of religion which helps bring misery to the poor children.

威廉•华兹华斯

• 1797年,结识了科勒律治,两人成为知心密友,合作完成了《抒情歌谣集》。

• 诗人骚塞、科勒律治、和华兹华斯三人一并成为“湖畔诗人”。

• 1842年,华兹华斯荣获政府津贴,次年他压倒骚塞成为“桂冠诗人”(Poet Laureate)

• 华兹华斯被称为“大自然的膜拜者”。

• 华兹华斯是一个怀旧的诗人,对他来说,生命犹如轮回的旅程,生命之始也是生命之终。他的这种人生哲学体现在他的代表作《序曲》中。

• 华兹华斯追求简洁朴素的风格,厌恶粉饰真实。他强调诗歌创作最要紧的是把握素材的真实来源,即“在静谧中找回情感”。他的创作理论核心是普通人的生活经历。

• 华兹华斯是英国诗歌史上的巨星,是浪漫主义时期的杰出代表,他号召人们用清新、自然、关心的目光去看待周围的事物,开创了运用百姓生活语言写诗的新道路,并号召人们回归自然。

4. | The Solitary Reaper |

《孤独的收割者》It tells us, to Romanticists, poetry is an expression of an individual's feelings and experience no matter how fragmentary and momentary these feelings and experiences are. (无论他们的情感是微不足道的还是伟大的)

| Questions |

Please discuss the significance of William Wordsworth's poetry in the history of English literature.

A. First of all, Wordsworth's theory, as stated in his "preface" to the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads, serves as a manifesto of Romanticism. The poet takes the direct experience of the senses as the source of poetic truth as poetry comes from the "emotion recollected in tranquillity". The significance of the "Preface" also presents itself in the poet's advocation of the writing of the common people in ordinary language.

B. Secondly, his practice is what his theory implies, for the joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes, in many of his poems such as the "Lucy poems".

C. Thirdly, natural scenery with its beauty and mystery acts also as one of his favorite themes and the sympathy out of the poet's nature towards the poor in rural places becomes part of his concern.

D. Finally, the seemingly simplicity of the poet both in diction and description is immersed in a profound and sympathetic longing for a better world. So the most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of his growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordinary speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.

雪莱 出生于一个富有家庭,父亲是个保守的乡绅,母亲貌美。

• 雪莱对自由的渴望及对暴政的憎恶都体现在诗作中,如《自由颂》《那不勒斯颂》等。

• 雪莱最著名的政治抒情诗是《致英格兰人民》,诗中号召工人,农民起来斗争,在宪章运动时期成为英国共产党的战歌。

• 雪莱最著名的抒情诗当属《西风颂》。瑟瑟寒风熄灭了一年的生机,却孕育着新春的希望,诗人希望自己也化作这西风,把他对未来的预言传遍人间。

• 雪莱最有造诣的作品是他的四幕诗剧《被解放的普罗米修斯》。

• 雪莱的诗歌语言清新别致,文化底蕴深厚,含有丰富的典故,并多用拟人和隐喻,将我们看到的事物完全生动地描绘出来。
