/kloc-another reason why the 0/8th century is called "the century of prose" is the rise of novels. Daniel? 6? Robinson Crusoe, written by daniel defoe (1660- 173 1), describes the protagonist's life on an isolated island in a realistic way, portrays a bourgeois pioneer and colonialist, and has the spirit of the times. This novel is regarded as the original work of realistic novels, which won Defoe the title of "the father of English novels". Defoe's other novel, Moore? 6? Moore Flanders (1) describes the heroine Moore's experience of becoming a prostitute and a thief in Britain because of the pressure of life. Realistic novels in Henry? 6? Henry fielding (1707- 1754) has been further developed. His "Tom? 6? The Story of tom jones (1) is unfolded in three different backgrounds: the countryside, the roads and London, and shows readers a panoramic view of British society at that time. The novel ends with Tom, who represents nature, and Sophia, who represents reason and wisdom, finally getting married, expressing the idea that feelings should be accepted and restrained. The book consists of eighteen volumes, each of which begins with the author's discussion on the art of novels, showing Fielding's theoretical consciousness in novel creation. Samuel, a contemporary of Fielding? 6? 1 samuel richardson (1689- 176 1) wrote letters to Pamela and Clarissa Holloway. He put his perspective on the young heroine's heart, and his psychological portrayal was incisive, which made readers cry. Tobias. 6? 1 Tobias Smollett (1721-1771) was a distinctive novelist in the mid-8th century. His Adventures of Roderick Langdon inherits the tradition of European tramp novels, with a loose layout, which is a combination of a series of adventure stories with rapid development, alternating likes and dislikes and rapid changes. Lawrence? 6? 1 stern (17 13- 1768)' s Life and Views of Tristram Shandy broke the traditional novel narrative mode and was written in a strange way. Each chapter of the novel varies in length, and some are even blank. The book is full of long comments and exclamations, as well as music scores, asterisks, ellipsis and so on. Stern's experiment in novel form attracted the attention of Russian formalist critics in the 20th century, and Biography of Xiang Di was regarded as "the most typical novel in world literature". Critics point out that the technique of stream of consciousness in 20th century novels can be traced back to this strange novel.
/kloc-in the middle of the 0/8th century, the industrial revolution took place in Britain. Many writers lament that the development of capitalist industrialization has destroyed the traditional way of life in nature and rural areas, and sentimental works with the theme of nature and emotion were once popular. Oliver. 6? Oliver Goldsmith's long poem "Abandoned Village" (1730- 1774) is a masterpiece of sentimental poetry. His "The Citizen of the World", formerly known as "Chinese Letters", fictionalized Lien Chi Altangi, a native of Henan, China, who was traveling in London. He wrote letters about what he saw and heard in London and sent them back to the officials of the Beijing Ministry of Rites, criticizing British politics, justice, religion, morality and social fashion from the perspective of China people. James. 6? James Thomson (1700- 1748) and William? 6? William collins's Ode to the Evening (172 1- 1759), Thomas? 6? Thomas gray (1716-1771) wrote "Elegy in a country church yard", which expressed the poets' aversion to the chaotic state of the times and their yearning for "natural and simple arrangements" and revealed their inner feelings. English poetry began to get rid of the shackles of neoclassicism, and the dominant position of reason was replaced by feelings or feelings.
At the end of 18 and the beginning of 19, great changes have taken place in the style of English poetry. Scottish peasant poet Robert? 6? 1 burns (robert burns, 1759- 1796) has brought a fresh breath to English poetry. His lyric poems are natural, vivid and sincere, and his satirical poems are sharp and interesting. William? 6? 1 Blake (1757- 1827) is a printmaker and poet with a peculiar imagination and great personality. His short poems are vivid in image and fresh in language, while his later long poems are obscure. He established his own unique mythological system in his poems, full of mysticism. Blake's revolutionary, originality and complexity made him a pioneer of romantic poetry.
1798, William? 6? William wordsworth (1770- 1850) and Samuel? 6? 1 Taylor? 6? Samuel taylor coleridge (1772- 1834) co-published a collection of poems, Lyric Ballads, most of which were written by Wordsworth, describing simple life in simple language. The publication of lyric songs marks the real rise of English romantic literature. Wordsworth famously defined poetry in the preface he wrote when the anthology of poems 1802 was reprinted: "Good poetry is a natural overflow of strong feelings". Romanticism is a counterattack against neoclassicism: the content of poetry is no longer a reflection of reality or a moral sermon, but a poet's true feelings; Poetic language is not imitating classic writers to pursue elegance and exquisiteness, but close to ordinary people's daily language. Romantic poets advocate nature and return to simplicity. Romanticism is a general concept, and every poet has his own characteristics. Wordsworth is also a poet of "Lake Poet". He regards nature as the source of inspiration. Natural beauty can give people strength and pleasure, have curative effect, purify and sublimate people's hearts. Coleridge endowed nature with magical colors and was good at depicting magnificent supernatural scenes. George? 6? 1 Gordon? 6? 1 Byron (1788- 1824) and Percy? 6? 1 bishop? 6? Percy bysshe shelley (1792- 1822) was a revolutionary poet, but Byron had a strong sense of self-expression. Shelley was deeply influenced by Plato's philosophy and longed for beautiful ideals and ideas. John? 6? John keats (1795- 182 1) pursued beauty all his life and was a talented poet who created artistic beauty. 1In the early 1920s, Keats, Shelley and Byron died young one after another, and the trend of English romantic poetry gradually declined from strong to weak.
