高高地飘游在山谷之上， 突然我看到一大片鲜花， 是金色的水仙遍地开放。 它们开在湖畔，开在树下 它们随风嬉舞，随风飘荡
它们密集如银河的星星， 像群星在闪烁一片晶莹； 它们沿着海湾向前伸展， 通往远方仿佛无穷无尽； 一眼看去就有千朵万朵， 万花摇首舞得多么高兴。 粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳， 却不如这水仙舞得轻俏； 诗人遇见这快乐的旅伴 又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃； 我久久凝视--却未领悟
这景象所给予我的精神至宝。 后来多少次我郁郁独卧， 感到百无聊赖心灵空漠； 这景象便在脑海中闪现， 多少次安慰过我的寂寞
我的心又随水仙跳起舞来， 我的心又重新充满了欢乐
George Gordon Byron
As a leading Romanticist, Byrons chief contribution is his creation of the “Byronic hero”, a proud, mysterious rebel figure of noble origin. Such a hero appears first in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and then further developed in later works such as the Oriented Tales, Manfred, and Don Juan in different guises. Don Juan(《唐·璜》) is Byron’s masterpiece, an epic satire. 诗选
She Ｗalks in Ｂeauty—— George Gordon Byron She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more one ray the less Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o'er her face

Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek and o'er that brow So soft so calm yet eloquent
The smiles that win the tints that glow But tell of days in goodness spent， A mind at peace with all below A heart whose love is innocent. 她走在美的光彩中 ，像夜晚 皎洁无云而且繁星满天； 明与暗的最美妙的色泽 在她的仪容和秋波里呈现； 耀目的白天且嫌光力强 它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。
增加或减少一分明与暗 就会损害这难言的美 美波动在她乌黑的发上， 或者散步淡淡的光辉； 在那脸庞，恬静的思绪 指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。
呵，那额际，哪先验的面颊， 如此温和，平静， 而又脉脉含情，
那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩， 都在说明一善良的生命； 她的头脑安于世间的一切， 她的心充溢这真纯的爱情！
John Keats(墓志铭：Here lies one whose name was writ in water.)
Keats’s poetry describes the beauty of the natural world and art as the vehicle for his poetic imagination.
his four great odes: “Ode on Melancholy,” 忧郁颂， “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” 希腊古瓮颂， “Ode to a Nightingale,” 夜莺颂，“Ode to Psyche;” 心灵颂．
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty —that is all” is quoted from his Ode on an Grecian Urn.

? Austen's main literary concern is about human beings in their personal relationships. She is particularly preoccupied with the relationship between men & women in love. Stories of love & marriage provide the major themes in all her novels.
? 代表作品：Sense and Sensibility 《理智与情感》；Pride and Prejudice 《傲慢与偏见》；Emma (1816)《爱玛》
? Pride and Prejudice has been the most widely read among them. This novel is Jane Austen’s masterpiece. The main subject in the novel is stated in the first sentence of the novel: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.“(大凡有钱的单身汉总要娶位太太，这是一条举世公认的真理。) ? 选段翻译
? It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
? However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. ? “What is his name?” ? “Bingley.”
? “Is he married or single?”
? “Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!” ? “How so? how can it affect them?”
? “My dear Mr. Bennet,\know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.” 七．The Victorian Period维多利亚时代的小说
? Chronologically the Victorian period roughly coincides with the reign of Queen Victoria over England from 1836 to 1901. In literature, the early Victorian age can be said to be the age of novel, or the age of critical realism. Among the famous novelists of the time were the critical realists like Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackery, Charlotte Bronte etc. In this period of intense class struggle appeared a new literary trend- --critical realism. English realism of the 19th century flourished in the forties and in the early fifties. The major contribution made by the 19th century critical realists lies in their perfection of the novel. 90年代哈代(Thomas Hardy)的一系列富有悲剧色彩的“威塞克斯”（Wessex）小说为维多利亚时期的小说划上一个圆满的句号 （一）The Bront? Sisters勃朗特三姐妹 ? Charlotte Bront?’s masterpiece Jane Eyre《简爱》 is a first-person narrative of the title character. The success of the novel is also due to its introduction to the English novel the first governess heroine Jane Eyre. ? 选段翻译 ? “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? —You think wrong!… And if God had gifted me with some beauty, and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you…—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal—as we are!” ? Emily Bront?: Wuthering Heights,《呼啸山庄》
? Emily Bronte published only one novel, Wuthering Heights . But that single work has its place among the masterpieces of English literature ? 选段翻译
? “My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff‘s miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished(消失), and HE remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated（摧毁）, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. - My love for Linton is like the foliage（叶子） in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I AM Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.” ? 相关练习

? Dickens is one of the greatest critical realist writers of the Victorian Age. In A Tale of Two Cities Dickens takes the French Revolution as the background of his novel, and the “two cities” are Paris and London in the time of that revolution.

? David Copperfield is one of Dickens‘s best works. It was his own favorite. It is written in the first person and is the most autobiographical of all his books ? 选段翻译
? “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
（三）哈代Thomas Hardy
