1、Lecture 3 William Wordsworth(II) 華茲華斯 (17701850)William Wordsworth (1775-1850)華茲華斯William Wordsworth is a celebrated Romantic poet in England and the best-known of the Lake Poets. He was made poet laureate in 1843.I. Comments on Wordsworth and his literary writings1. Wordsworth is the representative
2、 of the first generation of Romantic poets, who expressed the deepest aspirations of English Romanticism. He saw nature and man with new eyes. His whole work is an attempt to communicate that new vision.2.Wordsworths poetry is distinguished by the simplicity and purity of his language. It was his th
3、eory that the language spoken by the peasants when purified from its defects, was the best of all. His theory and practice in poetical creation started from a dissatisfaction with the social reality under capitalism, and hinted at the thought of “back to nature” and “back to the patriarchal system o
4、f the old time”.3. Wordsworth proclaimed the natural flow of strong emotions. “ emotion immediately expressed is as raw as wine newly bottled”, “ tranquil contemplation of an emotional experience is like the refining of old wine. 4. William Wordsworths theory, as stated in his Preface to the second
5、edition of the Lyrical Ballads, serves as a manifesto of Romanticism. The poet takes the direct experience of the senses as the sources of poetic truth for poetry comes from the emotion recollected in tranquility. (Poetry is “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, which originates in emotion
6、 recollected in tranquility.”)His poetic practice is what his theory implies, for the joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes in many of his poems such as the Lucy poems 5. He is best in descriptions of mountains and rivers; flowers and birds; children and peasants; reminiscences of his

14、s stanza!How do you interpret this stanza?The song of a nightingale is so rare and exciting for the travellers in the Arabian Deserts to hear, so it is with the song of the cuckoo bird; but more exciting is to hear the singing of the solitary reaping girl here on the Highland.Stanza 3: The poet does
15、nt understand her song but knows it is about something sad.1Will no one tell me what she sings? 2Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow 3 For old, unhappy, far-off things, 4And battles long ago: sad音符notesare about(Her song is like water.), echoing the word overflowing in stanza one.long time ago5Or is

17、 subject matter of the girls song: it seems not important for the poet or even the readers what the song is literally about-sorrowful things happened either in the past or today or in the future? It is this association that immensely enriches the girls song, making it an elegy ever sung by men. Thus
18、 comes the following enlightening ideas.Stanza 4: The poet was so moved by her song that he could never forget it.1Whateer the theme, the Maiden sang 2As if her song could have no ending; 3I saw her singing at her work, 4And oer the sickle bending;girl鐮刀=whatevercf.余音繞梁,三日不絕The poet was carried away

23、and Keats as one of the great Romantic poets, Byron became famous throughout Europe as the embodiment of romanticism.

32、. What is Byronic hero?As a leading Romanticist, Byrons chief contribution is his creation of the “Byronic hero”, a proud, mysterious rebel figure of noble origin. With immense superiority in his passions and powers, this Byronic hero would carry on his shoulders the burden of righting all the wrong
33、s in a corrupt world, and would rise single-handedly against any kind of tyrannical rules either in government, in religion, or in moral principles with unconquerable wills and inexhaustible energies.Such a hero appears first in Childe Harolds Pilgrimage, then further developed in Manfred, Don Juan,
34、 etc. in different guises.The figure is, to some extent, modeled on the life and personality of Byron himself, and makes Byron famous both at home and abroad.拜倫式英雄是拜倫筆下的一類人物形象,最早萌芽于恰爾德哈洛爾德。在東方敘事詩中重點塑造了這類形象,他們是悲劇性的孤傲的反抗社會制度的叛逆者,是高傲而倔強,憂郁而孤獨,神秘而痛苦,與社會格格不入從而對之進行徹底反抗的叛逆者燙烙著拜倫思想個性氣質(zhì)的深刻印記。Byronic hero (Co

36、e of such a hero is Heathcliff from Emily Bronts Wuthering Heights.Byronic hero:The figure of the Byronic hero pervades much of Byrons work, and Byron himself is considered to epitomise many of the characteristics of this literary figure. Scholars have traced the literary history of the Byronic hero from John Milton, and many authors and artists of the Romantic movement show Byrons influence during the 19th century and beyond, including Charlotte and Emily Bront.(With Women)Byron had always been susceptible to women and attractive to themThe young bachel
