How to evaluate the characteristics of English literary history in different periods?

The characteristics and representative figures of the history of English literature in different periods are briefly described as follows:

Anglo-Saxon literature is called Old English literature. In literature and art, rhymes are popular to imitate the legend of French knights, the most famous of which is an article we have learned, Sir Gawaine and the Knight in Green. This article mainly praises the knight's courage, honesty, courtesy and sense of honor. The author uses a variety of writing techniques to vividly depict the image of each character, and the details are true.

In addition to knight legend, patriotism and heroism are also a major literary feature of this period. The Beowulf we studied is the oldest and longest literary work of that period. It reflects the samurai's pursuit of loyalty and courage. Loyalty to the king means loyalty to the collective.

/kloc-In the second half of the 4th century, Anglo-Saxon literature gradually reached its peak, and oral rhyming poems appeared. We call the literature of this period medieval literature. At that time, people liked to discuss the good and evil in the world and satirize the ugly behavior in society. So the poet Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales.

We can see that the characteristics of medieval English literature are: poetry as the genre, full of music and rhythm; The theme has multiple perspectives, focusing on religion (satirizing the corruption of religion), chivalry and secular life.

Later, Britain began the Renaissance, and the most prominent literature in the Renaissance was poetry and drama. Shakespeare's sonnets that we have recited are the most representative. His poetry is very rigorous in structure. He divided the sonnet into two parts, the first part is three or four lines, and the second part is two lines. American Airlines has ten syllables, and the rhymes are abab, cdcd, efef and gg.

/kloc-English literature in the 0/7th century is the continuation and development of the Renaissance, which we call the era of tradition and rationality. Most of the literature in this period imitated the works of ancient Greece, Rome and France at that time, and pursued the rationality and perfection of artistic form. Humanism was the mainstream of literature at that time. It opposes theocracy and feudalism ideologically, promotes human nature and praises secular life. Mary Si Tong Kraft, a famous representative, was a political commentator, writer and thinker at that time. She pointed out that women are not born inferior to men, which will only be revealed after receiving enough education, which has aroused many people's thinking.

With the steady development of capitalism, romantic literature began to rise. Most literary works in this period express inner feelings and reflect ordinary life. Wordsworth's poetry is the pinnacle of literature in this period. He believes that poetry must contain strong emotions and be written in ordinary and real language.

In the subsequent Victorian period, prose poetry gradually withdrew from the literary world, and novels immediately became the most popular literary type in this period. Frankenstein is a very famous novel at that time, which not only describes the conflict between human beings and scientific and technological progress, but also reveals the ugly behavior of human reckless self-struggle and its great harm to society.

Finally, in modernist literature, various literary works and schools poured in. There are realism, absurdism and stream of consciousness. The most familiar play is Harry Potter. Author Rowling uses a variety of writing skills to make the story more confusing and attract readers' interest. In the first movie, the author created many disgusting characters, showing the conflict between Harry and Snape. But it was not until the end of the story that Snape expressed his protection and love for Harry. This contrast is in stark contrast.
