Neo-classicism is revival of interest in the old classical works.According to theneo-classicists,all forms of literature werw to be modeled after the classical works of Greek and Roman writers and those of the contemporary French ones.They believed that the artisical ideals should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.This belief led them to seek proption,unity,harmony and grace in literary expression.Thus a polite,urbane,witty and intellectual art developed.2. The Waste Land has been hailed as a landmark and a model of the 20th century English poetry,comparable to Wordsworth’s Lyrical Ballads. With bold technical innovations in versification and style,the poem not only presents a panorama of physical disorder and spiritual desolation in the modern Western world, but also reflects the prevalent mood of disillusionment and despair of a whole post-war generation. The poem is about the spiritual breakup of a modern civilization in which human life has lost its meaning, significance and purpose. It is regarded as a reflection of the 20th century people’s disillusionment and frustration in a sterile and futile society.3. blank verse refers to unrhymed verse of iambic pentametre.4.Heroic couplet refers to two lines of iambic pentameter rhyming with each other.5. Sonnet is a lyric poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set rhyme-scheme There are 2 widely accepted rhyme-schemes:Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet and English (Shakespearean)sonnet.The former consists of a octave(abbaabba) and a sestet (cdecde,cdccdc or cdedce).The English is made up of 3 quatrains and an heroic couplet.It rhymes in ababcdcdefefgg.6. It is a literary movement in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning decade of the 20th century as a reaction to Romanticism.The realists holds that literature should be faithful to and write about the possibilty of reality.They on one hand expose the social problems,on the other hand, try to find solutions to the problems.Most of them are democratic social reformers.7. Dramatic monologue refers to a lyrical poem which reveals “a soul in action” through the conversation of one character in a dramatic situation. The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent lis tener at the dramatic moment of the speaker’s life.III.1.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is one of the most remarkable playwrightsand poets the world has ever known.With his 38 plays,154 sonnets and 2 long poems,he has established his giant position in world literature.The influence of Shakespeare upon British literature is hard to measure and it is not exegerated to say that all the writers after him have been influenced by him directly or indirectly.A. As a humanist, Shakepeare enthuiastically eulogizes humanity and writes in the spirit of Renaissance.He was against feudal tyranny ,religious persecution,racial discrimination,social inequality and the corrupting influence of money and gold.B. Shakespeare holds that literature should be a combination of beauty, kindness and truth,and should reflect nature and reality;he believes that only this kind of literature can reach immortality.C.Shakespeare is a great master of the English language2. This poem is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth’s poetic beliefs. In his eyes, nature is sublime and sacred and will exert a lasting influence upon a soul. The poem is a record of his sublime communion with nature .3. This novel is one of the best and most popular work by Hardy. It is a fierce attack on the hypocritical morality of the bourgeois society and the capitalist invasion into the country and destruction of the English peasantry towands the end of the century.Tess, as a pure woman, brought up with the traditional idea of womanly virtues, is abused and destroyed by both Alec and Angel, agents of the destructive force of the society. And the misery, the poverty and the heartfelt pain she suffers and her final tragedy give rise to a most bitter cry of protest and denunciation of the society.4. The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.Generally ,it refers to the period between the 14th and mid-17th centuries.It first started in Italy,with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature.From Italy the movement went to embrace the rest of Europe.The Renaissance ,which means rebirth or revival,is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discovery in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.The Renaissance,therefore,in essence ,is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas that expressed the interest of the rising bourgeeoisie,and to recover the purity of early church from the corruption of Roman Catholic Church.5. The poem is Eliot’s most striking early achievement. It presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage.The poem is in a form of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended “love song” and a confession of the speaker’s incapability facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. Prufrock, the protagonist of poem, is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a kind of tragic figure caught in asense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desires. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere.6. (main points)He reveals his sympathy for the poor woman in rural area.7. In his novels he writes about the dehumanization brought about by the industrial civilization and he believes that individual’s psychological development lies in the sexual impulse—Life Force. Consequently, he frequently touches upon the sexual relationship between man and woman in most of hios novels.8. see textbook.。
