外国文学讲义-文艺复兴时期的文学第一节概述一、“文艺复兴”与“人文主义”1、文艺复兴:十四世纪到十六世纪在欧洲兴起的一场以新兴资产阶级人文主义为指导思想的反封建、反教会神权的思想解放运动。
最初兴起于意大利,逐渐扩大到法、德、英、荷、西班牙等其它欧洲国家。
2、人文主义(Humanism)又称人本主义、人道主义,是文艺复兴时期形成的资产阶级世界观,是与神学世界观相对立的世俗世界观。
其基本内容是:提倡以人为中心,反对以神为中心;提倡个性解放,反对禁欲主义;提倡现世的积极享乐,反对为来世的苦修行,认为“幸福在人间”;提倡自由平等,反对封建等级制度;提倡科学研究,崇尚理性,反对蒙昧主义,提出“知识就是力量”的口号。
这一切贯穿着一个总精神,即提倡人权,反对神权;提倡人性,反对神性;提倡人道,反对神道。
思想的核心是个性解放,个性自由。
人文主义文学是这一时期文学的主流。
二、“文艺复兴”在各国的特征意大利:诗歌、音乐、绘画、雕刻有突出成就,产生了诗人但丁、作家薄伽丘、画家达芬奇、拉斐尔、雕塑家米开朗琪罗、音乐家拉索等;A、彼特拉克:抒情诗人,第一个人文主义者。
代表作是抒情诗集《歌集》,献给恋人劳拉的诗。
袒露内心真挚的情感,大胆而直率。
B、薄迦丘:惊世骇俗之作——短篇小说集《十日谈》,被誉为“人曲”。
英国:诗歌、戏剧达到空前繁荣,有乔叟《坎特伯雷故事集》、托马斯•莫尔《乌托邦》、斯宾塞《仙后》、“大学才子派”的剧作、莎士比亚的创作。
西班牙:流浪汉小说《小癞子》、塞万提斯《堂吉诃德》、维伽《羊泉村》法国:表现为自由思想和怀疑思想的流行,有“七星诗社”、蒙田的《随笔集》、弗朗索瓦•拉伯雷《巨人传》成就较高。
第二节塞万提斯《堂吉诃德》一、生平和创作塞万提斯(1547——1616)是西班牙文艺复兴时期最伟大的现实主义作家。
他一生坎坷,饱受痛苦。
曾经参加西土战争并因伤致残失去左手,还在土耳其人的监狱中度过了五年牢狱生活。
回国后过着穷困潦倒的生活,几次遭人诬陷而入狱,在狱中开始构思《堂吉诃德》。

文艺复兴知识点文艺复兴是指发生在15世纪末至17世纪初的欧洲一系列文化和艺术变革的运动。
它标志着中世纪的结束和现代时代的开始。
文艺复兴涵盖了艺术、文学、科学和哲学等领域的重大变革,对欧洲乃至整个世界的文化发展产生了深远影响。
本文将介绍文艺复兴的主要知识点,包括其起源、特点、代表人物以及对艺术和科学的影响。
一、起源文艺复兴起源于意大利,并逐渐传播到欧洲其他地区。
在14世纪末,意大利的城市国家开始繁荣起来,商业和金融活动的兴起带来了人们对自由和个人权利的追求。
同时,古希腊和古罗马的文化遗产也逐渐被重新发现和重视。
这种对古典文化的热爱和对世俗主义的推崇成为文艺复兴的基石。
二、特点1. 人文主义:人文主义是文艺复兴的核心思想。
它强调人的尊严和价值,追求人的全面发展。
人文主义者研究古代文化,关注人类的能力和潜力,提倡人的自由和个性的发展。
他们反对教条主义和追随权威,主张人们应该通过理性思考来认识世界。
2. 艺术的重视:文艺复兴时期的艺术家们对艺术的追求达到了前所未有的高度。
他们追求真实和自然的表现方式,注重透视和光影效果的运用。
文艺复兴的绘画作品以人体为中心,追求人体的比例和解剖学的准确性。
著名艺术家达·芬奇和米开朗基罗就是文艺复兴时期的代表人物。
3. 科学的进步:文艺复兴时期的科学家们对自然界的研究也取得了重大突破。
他们通过观察和实验,提出了一系列新的科学理论和发现。
尼古拉·哥白尼提出了地心说的观点,开创了现代天文学;伽利略·伽利莱通过望远镜的观察,证实了地球围绕太阳运转的理论。
三、代表人物1. 达·芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci):达·芬奇是文艺复兴时期最具代表性的艺术家之一。
他是一位画家、雕塑家、建筑师、发明家和科学家。
他的作品《蒙娜丽莎》和《最后的晚餐》等至今仍然被誉为艺术的杰作。
2. 米开朗基罗(Michelangelo):米开朗基罗是文艺复兴时期最伟大的雕塑家和画家之一。
文艺复兴的起源文艺复兴是欧洲历史上一个重要的时期,它不仅对艺术和文化产生了深远的影响,也对人类思维方式和社会结构产生了重大的冲击。
本文将讨论文艺复兴的起源,并分析其对欧洲乃至全球的影响。
一、社会背景文艺复兴诞生于15世纪末至16世纪初的意大利,并逐渐扩展至其他欧洲国家。
在这个时期,欧洲社会正在经历巨大的变革。
经济的繁荣和贸易的发展带动了城市的兴起,催生了新的社会阶层——资产阶级。
同时,人们开始对中世纪的信仰体系产生怀疑,并开始对古代文化和知识进行重新评估。
二、古典文化的引入文艺复兴时期,古典文化的研究成为了一种潮流。
人们开始对古希腊罗马的文学、哲学和艺术产生浓厚的兴趣,并试图恢复古典时代的文化传统。
这种对古典文化的推崇和追求成为了文艺复兴的核心思想。
三、知识的传播与创新文艺复兴时期,印刷术的发明和书籍的大规模印刷,大大促进了知识的传播。
人们可以更加方便地获取到古代文化的经典著作,与此同时,也更加容易传播自己的思想和创新。
众多的学者和艺术家开始不断地发表他们的作品,推动了文艺复兴时期的文化繁荣。
四、宗教改革的冲击文艺复兴同样受到了宗教改革的冲击。
早期的宗教改革者如马丁·路德和约翰·加尔文提出了对教会教义和做法的质疑,引发了欧洲各地的宗教改革运动。
这些改革使得人们对宗教权威的盲从开始动摇,同时也对宗教艺术和教会的文化产生了重大影响。
五、对艺术的影响文艺复兴对艺术的影响是巨大的。
在这个时期,艺术家追求真实、理性和人文主义的思想,艺术作品更加注重人体的形象和自然的再现。
例如,达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》和米开朗基罗的《大卫》等作品,都体现了文艺复兴时期对人体构造和美学的独特追求。
六、对思维方式的影响文艺复兴对人类思维方式的影响同样不可忽视。
文艺复兴时期的人们强调人类自身的价值和能力,开始关注个体的意识和自由。
这种思想倾向为近代启蒙运动的兴起提供了基础,同时也为人类社会的进步和发展奠定了思想基础。

The most striking feature of the Renaissance was doubtlessly the flourish of humanism.3. What are the reasons for the emergence of the Renaissance in Italy?(1) Italy’s prosperous trade and production of handicraft, which furnished a material basis for cultural development(2) its rich variety of urban social life coinciding with the emergence of more cities where manufacturing and commercial activities called for the vigorous development of cultural life(3) the wealth of culture passed down from the artistic and architectural heritage of Rome(4) the use of Latin as a common language in the Italian society, which helped to retain a good memory of classical culture4. What are the main demands of humanism?a. literature should represent the feelings of ordinary humans;b. science should produce benefits for mankind;c. education should develop individual personality and free human feelings and intelligence from divine bondage;d. man should become central in everything;e. human right should be against divine right, human nature against divine nature, and individuality against medieval religious bondage.4Please match the following artists and writers with their representative works.Please match the following scientists with their great achievement.5.Please introduce William Shakespeare, the most accomplished writer during the Renaissance, and his great works.William Shakespearewas an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre -eminent dramatist. He is often called England’s national poet and the “Bard of Avon”. His surviving work s, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into everymajor living language and are performed more often than those ofany other playwright.His writing career falls into three phases. His early phase coincided with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, marking the ascent of capitalist development. The major works he wrote in this period include A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night .The 2nd phase occurred in a period when political conflicts and contradictions were intensified between the feudal forces headed by the royal family on one side and the newly emerging capitalist forces and the ordinary people on the other. Most of his writings during the period were tragedies, embracing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and Anthony and Cleopatra.The 3rd phase focused on the writing of plays related to myths, such as The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest. Shakespeare’s success came from his understanding of historical, social and intellectual circumstances of England, based on his humanist values and pursuit and represented by a large number of impressive characters with a strong sense of individual identity.6. Please analyze the features of classicism.a. Drama and other forms of arts tended to imitate and reflect those of the Graeco-Roman civilization.b. Literature of this period is termed neoclassical, because it sought beauty of form rather than the content.c. Culture in this period not only exhibited the productions of artistic works, but promoted the development of life styles, such as dress and speech.d. As commonly opposed to Romanticism, the 17th-century classicism in France implies a social ideal.e. Classicism tends naturally to be expressed by the adoption of certain classical forms.IV True or False Questions.(1) Individualism was the foundation of social ideology during the Renaissance.(2) Dante’s most important works On Monarchy shows most of his humanist ideas over which he was meditating during years of exile.(3) Petrarch opposed the papal authority and other supreme authorities by exemplifying his attitudes towards Aristotle.(4) The Renaissance and humanism greatly contributed to the occurrence of Enlightenment and bourgeois revolution.(5) Humanism helped spark the Reformation, while the latter hindered thedevelopment of the former.(TFTTT)题源:1.

第二章文艺复兴时期文学第一节文艺复兴与人文主义文艺复兴运动是14—17 世纪欧洲发生的古希腊、罗马古典文化学术的复兴运动,是欧洲从中世纪向近代资本主义社会转变时期的资产阶级思想文化运动,是人类文明发展史上一次伟大的变革。
“文艺复兴”(Renaissance )原意是“再生”,指的是希腊、罗马文化的再生。
实际上“文艺复兴”运动包含着远为丰富的内容。
资本主义生产发展最早的意大利,是文艺复兴运动的发源地。
十三四世纪,意大利虽未统一,但工商业发达,工商业和银行业都占欧洲第一位。
新兴资产阶级产生了新的人生观和世界观,他们需要建立不同于封建文化的新文化。
古希腊、罗马文化的发现和研究为他们提供了思想上的影响。
意大利本来就是罗马古典文化的发源地,罗马文化就是意大利民族的文化。
中世纪后期建立了世俗学校后,拉丁诗人的作品成为意大利人文化教养中的主要部分,而“拜占庭灭亡时抢救出来的手抄本,罗马废墟中发掘出来的古代雕像,在惊讶的西方面前展示了一个新世界—希腊的古代”(恩格斯语)。
1453 年东罗马帝国陷落后,大批希腊古典学者携书逃到意大利,促进了意大利早已进行的希腊古典文化的研究。
世俗学校在“神学学科”以外添设了“人文学科”,内容就是希腊、罗马古典各科学术(包括文艺、哲学、历史乃到自然科学)。
这些古典学术的研究者和倡导者,被称为“人文主义者”。
古典文化大体上是人道主义(即把人看成万物的中心)和现世主义,重视科学和哲学的探讨及对美好事物的创造和享受,要求人在身心各方面均衡发展。
基督教则以神权中心和来世主义为基本内容,实行蒙昧主义和禁欲主义,两种文化形成了尖锐的对立。
随着生产力的发展,自然科学的进展、15 世纪末的地理发现、唯物主义哲学的发展,人开始感觉到自己的尊严与无限发展的潜力,理性代替了对权威的盲目崇拜,要重新估价阻碍人的发展的宗教信条及其他封建观念。
新兴的资产阶级要扩张、扩展自己,就要挣脱封建教会加诸他们的精神束缚。
