英语专八人文知识复习要点：英国文学之17世纪文学17世纪文学16、17世纪之交,英国国内政治经济的矛盾加深,人心动荡，反映于文学的，除了上述诗剧的衰败，还有在散文作品中围绕政治与宗教问题的论争文章的急剧增多，在诗歌中出现了以多恩为代表的玄学派诗和一些称为骑士派的贵族青年所写的爱情诗，前者用新奇的形象和节奏写怀疑与信念交替的复杂心情，显示出当时科学大进展冲击传统文化的影响;后者则表达了一种末世情调。
17世纪40年代，革命终于爆发。
人民经过公开审判，处决了国王查理一世，并在打了一场激烈的内战之后建立了以克伦威尔为首的资产阶级政权。
在文学上，革命主要表现于两个方面:一是有大量的传单和小册子印行，各种集团特别是属于革命阵营左翼的平均派和掘地派通过它们来发表政见，其中李尔本、温斯坦利等人写得犀利有力;二是出现了一个革命的大诗人──弥尔顿。
弥尔顿对于革命的贡献，首先在于他的政论文。
从1641年起，他搁下了早以优美著称的诗笔，而用英文和拉丁文写了许多政论小册子，为英国人民处死国王的革命行动辩护,也发表他的进步主张,如《论离婚》(1643)和《论出版自由》(1644)。
他的文章虽然句式繁复，却有雄奇之美，在英国散文中自成一格。
1660年革命遭受了重大挫折，王政复辟。
这时弥尔顿已经双目失明,受着政治迫害,但他痛定思痛，把自己的一腔孤愤写进了他一生最后的三大作品。
首先是《失乐园》(1667)。
这首以人类祖先失去乐园的圣经故事为主题的史诗表达了作者的清教主义，而在对于撒旦的描写中则又倾注着他的革命思想，正是那些歌颂叛逆者的响亮诗行构成了诗中最动人的篇章。
继之而来的《复乐园》(1671)叙述耶稣拒绝撒旦诱惑的节操,虽见平淡,仍多佳句。
同时出版的《力士参孙》是英文中最出色的希腊式古典悲剧，结构严谨而人物突出。
作者写参孙双目失明，身陷囹圄，而仍力抗强暴，终于与敌人同归于尽。
这当中有弥尔顿对自己不平凡的一生的回顾，炽热的情感溢出诗行，表示他依然壮怀激烈，不变革命初衷。
