(2) Browning couple robert browning (18 12 ~ 1889) and Elizabeth? Barrett? Browning (1806- 186 1) is a famous lover poet in the history of world literature, and is regarded as a pair of eternal lovers. Her husband, Robert browning, is famous in the poetry circle because of The Ring and The Book, and has a group of intellectual readers in the cultural circle, thus forming the Browning Society. The Ring and the Book is a blank narrative poem, divided into 12 chapters * * * 20934 lines, based on a murder case at the end of 17. Guidi, a 50-year-old poor earl, forcibly married Pompilia, the daughter of a poor family of 13 years old. Pompilia couldn't bear to abuse her wife after marriage, fell in love with Kapensaki, a young priest who sympathized with her, ran away and gave birth to a boy. The count chased Pompilia on Christmas Eve and killed her adoptive parents together. After a court trial, the count was sentenced to death. In The Ring and The Book, Browning showed a very rich imagination. With his excellent psychological description and stream of consciousness, he went deep into the situation and showed nine different personalities in line with the logic of characters' thinking. This is an innovation in the history of English poetry. When describing characters, through personalized language, let the characters say what is in line with their status and identity, and accurately express their personality characteristics. His poems are often exaggerated and satirical, with powerful language, but sometimes the syntax is incomplete. Browning's poems broke through the traditional themes and images of romanticism, and murder, poison and the funeral of grammarians all entered the poems. He also accepted the influence of English metaphysical poets in the17th century, expounded profound philosophy with vivid images, and used unique and thought-provoking metaphors. Browning's works reflect the reality and reveal the inequality between the rich and the poor and social inequality. But there are also superficial Christian ethics and optimism in Victorian times. Some poems are obscure. He influenced the poetry creation of American poets ezra pound and Robert Frost in the 20th century. Elizabeth barrett browning's major works include the Portuguese Sonnet and the long poem Aurora Leigh. The theme of her poems can be divided into two main aspects: one is to express the feelings of life; Second, strive for women's liberation, oppose slavery, expose social abuses, and show progressive ideals. Her poems are full of passion and gripping power in art, with concise sentences and brilliant talents, mostly with strong sentimental nature. Portuguese sonnets are considered as "the treasure in the history of English literature".
(3) Stevenson robert louis stevenson (1850-1894) is regarded as the representative of neo-romantic literature at the end of 19. In his short life, he wrote a lot of essays, essays, novels, travel notes, children's literature and reviews, among which the most famous works are Treasure Island, Dr Jekyll, Mr Hyde and others. Treasure Island is Stevenson's most famous treasure-hunting novel. It tells the story of young Jim and his party going to a desert island for treasure, describes their clever and dangerous struggle with pirates, and highlights Jim's brave wit and sinister pirate leader. The characters are vivid and vivid. The plot of this novel is tense and full of suspense. Treasure Island is a great success, and Stevenson is famous for it. Treasure Island also opened the first novel with the theme of excavating treasures. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" describes that in order to explore the good and evil of human nature, Dr. Jekyll took his own medicine as the experimental object, resulting in split personality. The devil in his mind summoned an avatar named Hyde. Hyde's desire swelled. He lost control and killed someone. Dr Jekyll was condemned by his conscience, but at this time he was possessed, unable to restrain his desire to become Hyde, and finally committed suicide. This is Stevenson's unique novella, which expresses Stevenson's views on solving the contradictions in the inner world of human beings and discusses the good and evil of human nature. This novel is full of strange and mysterious atmosphere. Kidnapping occupies a unique position in Stevenson's works. It is a combination of adventure novels and bildungsroman. It tells the story of a 17-year-old boy's yearning for the world, his reaction to all kinds of dangers in the world, his attitude towards friendship, and the identification, judgment and growth process of two completely different human natures: courage, justice, friendliness and meanness and greed. David, a Scottish orphan, went to his uncle for family heritage, but was abducted by his uncle and transported to the United States as a slave. And the ship hit a rock and sank at sea, so he grabbed a board and floated to the shore alone. He was killed when he landed, and was mistakenly chased as a murderer by officers and men. On the way to escape, he happened to meet Allen, an exile in the same boat. They went hand in hand, spent a thrilling escape life in the barren hills of the Scottish Highlands, and finally returned to the place where he was kidnapped. With the help of friends, they used their intelligence to recapture the property they deserved from their uncle. Stevenson's novels are full of twists and turns, novel ideas and suspense, which can satisfy readers' romantic desire for exploration. The poor, homeless, orphans and aborigines in his works are often noble, brave and kind people. Most of them can defeat villains and gangs in the end. As a representative of neo-romanticism in the late 19 period, Stevenson believes that the task of art is only to tell readers what they have never experienced or interesting events. Therefore, his works deliberately pursue artistic effects, but ignore and avoid reflecting the main social contradictions. The Romantic Period's novel achievements are mainly reflected in the innovation of content and theme. There were two main types of novels at that time: Gothic novels and historical novels.
Novelist Wolff? Sir Scott (177 1- 1832) has made great achievements in the field of historical novels. Scott has been devoted to collecting and sorting out historical legends and folk songs. Poetry was the main theme in the early period, but 27 historical novels made the greatest achievements. Scott's novels are heroic, with broad historical background, romantic artistic conception and strong local color. The main representative work of historical novels is Ivanhoe (18 19). The novel is full of the flavor of the times and local colors, with quaint language and plump characters.
Jane of the same period? Jane Austen (1775- 18 17) is an excellent female novelist. Her novels are characterized by careful observation and profound description of daily life communication, so later generations call his novels "custom novels". Her major achievements are six novels, including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, mansfield manor and Emma. Austin is good at observing people and things around him with women's unique delicacy and sensitivity, and describing the quiet and comfortable rural life of the idle class and the love and marriage of gentlemen and ladies. The novel has beautiful language and rigorous structure, which embodies superb skills. The masterpiece Pride and Prejudice emphasizes the importance of feelings to marriage by describing the love between the heroine Elizabeth and the rich man Darcy. The plot of the novel is tortuous, humorous and full of comedy.
