美国文学史及选读名词解释.doc

1、(完整word)美国文学史及选读名词解释美国文学史及选读名词解释1. Transcendentalism 19th-century movement of writers and philosophers in New England who were loosely bound together by adherence to an idealistic system of thought based on a belief in the essential unity of all creation, the innate goodness of man, and the supremac

2、y of insight over logic and experience for the revelation of the deepest truths。 In their religious quest, the Transcendentalists rejected the conventions of 18thcentury thought; and what began in a dissatisfaction with Unitarianism developed into a repudiation of the whole established order.2。 Lang

3、ston HughesAmerican poet and writer emphasized on lowerclass black life。 He established himself as a major force of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1926, in the Nation, he provided the movement with a manifesto when he skillfully argued the need for both race pride and artistic independence in his most m

4、emorable essay, The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain. In many ways Hughes always remained loyal to the principles he had laid down for the younger black writers in 1926. His art was firmly rooted in race pride and race feeling even as he cherished his freedom as an artist。 He was both nationalis

5、t and cosmopolitan。 As a radical democrat, he believed that art should be accessible to as many people as possible. He could sometimes be bitter, but his art is generally suffused by a keen sense of the ideal and by a profound love of humanity, especially black Americans。 3. Henry David ThoreauAmeri

6、can essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, renowned for having lived the doctrines of Transcendentalism as recorded in his masterwork, Walden (1854), and for having been a vigorous advocate of civil liberties, as evidenced in the essay “Civil Disobedience” (1849). In his writings Thoreau was con

7、cerned primarily with the possibilities for human culture provided by the American natural environment。 He adapted ideas garnered from the then-current Romantic literatures in order to extend American libertarianism and individualism beyond the political and religious spheres to those of social and

8、personal life。 He demanded for all men the freedom to follow unique lifestyles, to make poems of their lives and living itself an art. In a restless, expanding society dedicated to practical action, he demonstrated the uses and values of leisure, contemplation, and a harmonious appreciation of and c

9、oexistence with nature. Thoreau established the tradition of nature writing later developed by the Americans4。 the Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance, a flowering of literature (and to a lesser extent other arts) in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, has long been considered by many to

10、 be the high point in African American writing. It probably had its foundation in the works of W。E. B. Du Bois who believed that an educated Black elite should lead Blacks to liberation。 He further believed that his people could not achieve social equality by emulating white ideals; that equality co

11、uld be achieved only by teaching Black racial pride with an emphasis on an African cultural heritage。 Although the Renaissance was not a school, nor did the writers associated with it share a common purpose, nevertheless they had a common bond: they dealt with Black life from a Black perspective. Am

12、ong the major writers who are usually viewed as part of the Harlem Renaissance are Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Rudolph Fisher, James Weldon Johnson, and Jean Toomer。5. Mark Twainpseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens American humorist, writer, and lecturer who w

13、on a worldwide audience for his stories of youthful adventures, especially The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), Life on the Mississippi (1883), and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). Writing in American colloquialism and subjects with humors and satires, Mark Twain shed great influence upon

14、later writers such as Sherwood Anderson, Earnest Hemingway and Faulkner. 6。 Walt WhitmanAmerican poet, journalist, and essayist whose verse collection Leaves of Grass is a landmark in the history of American literature. Whitmans greatest theme is a symbolic identification of the regenerative power o

15、f nature with the deathless divinity of the soul. His poems are filled with a religious faith in the processes of life, particularly those of fertility, sex, and the “unflagging pregnancy” of nature: sprouting grass, mating birds, phallic vegetation, the maternal ocean, and planets in formation。 The

16、 poetic “I” of Leaves of Grass transcends time and space, binding the past with the present and intuiting the future, illustrating Whitmans belief that poetry is a form of knowledge, the supreme wisdom of mankind。7. the Lost GenerationIn general, the postWorld War I generation, but specifically a gr

17、oup of U。S。 writers who came of age during the war and established their literary reputations in the 1920s. The term stems from a remark made by Gertrude Stein to Ernest Hemingway, “You are all a lost generation。 Hemingway used it as an epigraph to The Sun Also Rises (1926)。 The generation was “lost

18、” in the sense that its inherited values were no longer relevant in the postwar world and because of its spiritual alienation from a U.S。 that, basking under President Hardings “back to normalcy policy, seemed to its members to be hopelessly provincial, materialistic, and emotionally barren. The ter

19、m embraces Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, e.e. cummings and many other writers who made Paris the centre of their literary activities in the 20s。 They were never a literary school. In the 1930s, as these writers turned in different directions, their works lost the distinctive stamp

20、 of the postwar period. The last representative works of the era were Fitzgeralds Tender Is the Night (1934).8。 Ralph Waldo Emerson: American lecturer, poet, and essayist, the leading exponent of New England Transcendentalism。 Nature, “The American Scholar,” and Addresshad rallied together a group t

21、hat came to be called the Transcendentalists, of which he was popularly acknowledged the spokesman。 Emerson helped initiate Transcendentalism by publishing his Nature. Emerson felt that there was no place for free will in the chains of mechanical cause and effect that rationalist philosophers concei

22、ved the world as being made up of。 This world could be known only through the senses rather than through thought and intuition; it determined men physically and psychologically; and yet it made them victims of circumstance, beings whose superfluous mental powers were incapable of truly ascertaining

23、reality. Emerson asserts the human ability to transcend the materialistic world of sense experience and facts and become conscious of the allpervading spirit of the universe and the potentialities of human freedom. Emersons doctrine of self-sufficiency and selfreliance naturally springs from his vie

24、w that the individual need only look into his own heart for the spiritual guidance that has hitherto been the province of the established churches。 The individual must then have the courage to be himself and to trust the inner force within him as he lives his life according to his intuitively derive

25、d precepts.9。 Edgar Allen PoePoes work owes much to the concern of Romanticism with the occult and the satanic. It owes much also to his own feverish dreams, to which he applied a rare faculty of shaping plausible fabrics out of impalpable materials。 With an air of objectivity and spontaneity, his p

26、roductions are closely dependent on his own powers of imagination and an elaborate technique. His keen and sound judgment as appraiser of contemporary literature, his idealism and musical gift as a poet, his dramatic art as a storyteller, considerably appreciated in his lifetime, secured him a promi

27、nent place among universally known men of letters。 The outstanding fact in Poes character is a strange duality. Much of Poes best work is concerned with terror and sadness. His yearning for the ideal was both of the heart and of the imagination. His sensitiveness to the beauty and sweetness of women

28、 inspired his most touching lyrics He is regarded as the father of detective stories.10. Black Humoralso called Black Comedy, writing that juxtaposes morbid or ghastly elements with comical ones. The term did not come into common use until the 1960s。 Then it was applied to the works of the novelists

29、 Nathanael West, Vladimir Nabokov, and Joseph Heller. The latters Catch22 (1961) is a notable example, in which Captain Yossarian battles the horrors of air warfare over the Mediterranean during World War II with hilarious irrationalities matching the stupidities of the military system。 The term bla

30、ck comedy has been applied to playwrights in the Theatre of the Absurd.11。 Benjamin Franklin American printer and publisher, author, inventor and scientist, and diplomat. Franklin, next to George Washington possibly the most famous 18thcentury American。 He established the Poor Richard of his almanac

31、s as an oracle on how to get ahead in the world, and become widely known in European scientific circles for his reports of electrical experiments and theories and wrote his Autobiography which is a great contribution to the American literature.12. Ernest Hemingway American novelist and shortstory wr

32、iter, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954。 He was noted both for the intense masculinity of his writing and for his adventurous and widely publicized life. His succinct and lucid prose style exerted a powerful influence on American and British fiction in the 20th century. The main charact

33、ers of The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls are young men whose strength and self-confidence nevertheless coexist with a sensitivity that leaves them deeply scarred by their wartime experiences. War was for Hemingway a potent symbol of the world, which he viewed as com

34、plex, filled with moral ambiguities, and offering almost unavoidable pain, hurt, and destruction。 To survive in such a world, and perhaps emerge victorious, one must conduct oneself with honour, courage, endurance, and dignity, a set of principles known as “the Hemingway code。”13。 Sherwood Andersona

35、uthor who strongly influenced American writing between World Wars I and II, particularly the technique of the short story. His writing had an impact on such notable writers as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, both of whom owe the first publication of their books to his efforts. His prose style, based on everyday speech was markedly influential on the early Hemingway. His best work is generally thought to be in his short stories, collected in Winesburg, Ohio, The Triumph of the Egg (1921), Horses and Men (1923), and Death in the Woods (1933).
