考前必讀：托福經(jīng)典聽力加試--英國(guó)浪漫主義詩(shī)歌

英國(guó)浪漫主義詩(shī)人華茲華斯及其詩(shī)歌

literature主要講述了18-19世紀(jì)英國(guó)浪漫主義(Romanticism)詩(shī)歌的代表人物Wordsworth 的詩(shī)。他是浪漫主義的鼻祖，但浪漫主義這個(gè)稱謂是后人加上的，不是他們本身這樣稱呼自己的(此處出題) 。Romanticism不是我們平時(shí)理解的 romance，和男女之間的愛情無(wú)關(guān)。Romanticism針對(duì)的是common people而不是少數(shù)educated people， 用的是simple language，描述的是日常生活中常見的事物，孩子，人類情感，以及自然和人類之間的互動(dòng)。教授以自己為例，說(shuō)自己在**時(shí)感受到了這種互動(dòng)(此處出題)。與 romanticism 針鋒相對(duì)的一種風(fēng)格是 neoclassicism新古典主義，也是那位 romanticism 的鼻祖很反對(duì)的。Neoclassicism使用太多的 elaboration，如 sky 不叫 sky，而叫 blue 什么的;bird 不叫 bird，而叫 feathered person。

教授把該詩(shī)人的作品分為三個(gè)階段。早期的浪漫主義作品，主要描述植物的(花與草)詩(shī)歌。中期時(shí)是對(duì)一些社會(huì)現(xiàn)象的評(píng)論。后期時(shí)對(duì)早期的作品進(jìn)行修改。目前文學(xué)界還是認(rèn)為它早期的作品是最好的。(教授還說(shuō)，Wordsworth的詩(shī)越寫到后來(lái)越糟糕，反而早期的比較好，本文重點(diǎn)講了他第一階段的詩(shī))。

補(bǔ)充資料：

ROMANTICISM

Romanticism is a style in the fine arts and literature. It emphasizes passion rather than reason, and imagination and intuition rather than logic. Romanticism favors full expression of the emotions, and free, spontaneous action rather than restraint and order.

Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular.

It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.

Romanticism in literature. During the Romantic Movement, most writers were discontented with their world. It seemed commercial, inhuman, and standardized. To escape from modern life, the Romantics turned their interest to remote and faraway places, the medieval past, folklore and legends, and nature and the common people. The Romantics were also drawn to the supernatural.

WORDSWORTH

Wordsworth, William (1770-1850), is considered by many scholars to be the most important English Romantic poet. In 1795, Wordsworth met Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The two men collaborated on Lyrical Ballads (1798), a collection of poems frequently regarded as the symbolic beginning of the English Romantic movement.

Wordsworth argued that serious poems could describe "situations from common life" and be written in the ordinary language "really used by men." He believed such poems could clarify "the primary laws of our nature." Wordsworth also insisted that poetry is "emotion recollected in tranquility."

He explained that his poetry used everyday language rather than the elevated poetic language of such earlier writers as Dryden and Pope because everyday language comes closer to expressing genuine human feeling. For the same reason, he wanted to write about everyday topics, especially rural, unsophisticated subjects.

Wordsworth and Coleridge lived most of their lives in the scenic Lake District of northwestern England and wrote expressively about the beauties of nature and the thoughts that natural beauty inspires. Many of their blank verse poems are written in a meditative, conversational tone new to English poetry.

Wordsworth, as we have said, is the chief representative典型的 of some of the most important principles原則 in the romantic movement, but he is far more a member of any movement, through his supreme poetic expression of some of the greatest spiritual ideals he belongs among the five or six greatest English poets.

First, he is the profoundest interpreter of nature in all poetry. His feeling for nature has two aspects. he is keenly sensitive, and in a more delicately discriminating way than any of his predecessors, to all the external beauty and glory of nature, especially inanimate nature of mountains, woods and fields, streams and flowers, in all their infinitely varied aspects. A wonderful joyous and intimate sympathy with them is one of his controlling impulses.

In the second place, Wordsworth is the most consistent of all the great English poets of democracy, though here as elsewhere his interest is mainly not t in the external but in the spiritual aspect of things.

The obstinacy and these poems are only the most conspicuous result of Wordsworth chief temperamental defect, which was an almost total lack of the sense of humor. Regarding himself as the prophet of a supremely important new gospel, he never admitted the possibility of error in his own point of view and was never able to stand aside from his poetry and criticize it dispassionately.
