第五篇：英美文學terms

1.Alliteration：Alliteration is the repetition of a speech sound in a sequence of nearby words.The term is usually applied only to consonants, and only when the recurrent sound begins a word or a stressed syllable within a word.In old English alliteration is the principle organizing device of the verse line.2.Romance：Romance is a long composition, sometimes in verse, sometimes in prose,describing the life and adventure of a noble hero.Romance was characteristic of the early feudal age, as it reflected he spirit of chivalry.The content of romance was usually about love, chivalry, and religion.3.Soliloquy is a dramatic speech delivered by one character speaking aloud while under the

impression of being alone.The soliloquist thus reveals his inner thoughts and feelings to the audience.It is also known as interior monologue.4.Sonnet: A sonnet is a short song in the original meaning of the word.Later it became a poem

of 14 lines, usually in iambic pentameter with various rhyming schemes.5.Neo-Classicism This term mainly applies to the classical tendency which dominated the

literature of the early period of the 18th century.It found its artistic models in the classical literature of the ancient Greek and Roman writers, and tried to control literary creation by some fixed laws and rules drawn from their works, for example, rimed couplet instead of blank verse and the three unities of time, place and action，etc.It put the stress on the classical ideals of order, logic, restrained emotion, accuracy, good taste and decorum(端莊得

6.Byronic hero, is an idealized but flawed character whose attributes include: 1)being a rebel;

2)having a distaste for social institutions;3)being an exile;4)expressing a lack of respect for rank and privilege;5)having great talent;6)hiding an unsavory past;7)being highly passionate;8)ultimately, being self-destructive Byron himself is considered to epitomize many of the characteristics of this literary figure.7.Dramatic monologue: Dramatic monologue is a lyric poem in which a character is made to

speak to an identifiable but silent listener and thus reveal his inner psychology.In English literature, it is perfected by Robert Browning.His famous poem “My Last Duchess” was written in Dramatic monologue.8.Aestheticism or the aesthetic movementAestheticism developed in France and during

the late19th century and became a European phenomenon.English aesthetic movement took place in the late Victorian period from around 1868 to 1901, and is generally considered to have ended with the trial of Oscar Wilde.The slogan of aesthetic movement is “art for art’s sake”---that is, the purpose of a work of art is simply to exist and to be beautiful.In other words, a work of art or literature need serve no moral, practical, or instructive purpose;it should appeal to viewers or readers solely on the basis of its beauty.9.Stream-of-Consciousness: The “stream of consciousness” is a psychological term indicating

“the flux of conscious and subconscious thoughts and impressions moving in the mind at any given time independently of the person’s will.”The striking feature of these stream-of-consciousness novelists is their giving precedence to the description of the characters’ mental and emotional reactions to external events rather than the events themselvesThis style of writing attempts to imitate or present truthfully the natural flow of a character’s thoughts, feelings, reflections, memories, and mental images as the character experiences them.The textbook example of stream of consciousness is the last section of James Joyce's Ulysses.
