John Milton is one of the very few truly great English writers who is also a prominent figure in politics, and who is both a great poet and an important prose writer in European renaissance . The two most essential things about him are his Puritanism and his republicanism.He fights for freedom in all aspects and exert a great influence over later ones.
The speaker John Milton will get blind. Many great artists have suffered blindness, but the twist in Milton's case is that he went blind before he wrote his best works. He must have felt like modern athletes feel when they suffer a career-ending injury because he cannot create works due to the loss of eyesight.Facing the misfortune, the poet did’t give up but comfort himself and serve to god even in this condition.How respectable he is!He felt he could best achieve this goal by using his intelligence and especially his writing.////
John Keats (1795-1821), major English poet, despite his early death from tuberculosis at the age of 25. Keats’s poetry describes the beauty of the natural world and art as the vehicle for his poetic imagination. His skill with poetic imagery and sound reproduces this sensuous experience for his reader. Keats’s poetry evolves over his brief career from this love of nature and art into a deep compassion for humanity.
To Autumn has three stanzas. The stanza 2 focuses on late afternoon, when the hot sun is beating down and makes everyone drowsy and the busy work scenery. It’s time for harvest.
In stanza 2, autumn personified as a harvester, crosses a brook and watches a cider press. Otherwise autumn is listless and even falls asleep. The furrow is "half-reap'd," the winnowed hair refers to ripe grain still standing, and apple cider is still being pressed. However, the end of the cycle is near. The press is squeezing out "the last oozings." Find other words that indicate slowing down. Notice that Keats describes a reaper who is not harvesting and who is not turning the press. Personification here is very successful. It gives autumn a personality and the autumn is no longer abstract.
Emily Bronte Emily Bronte (1818-48), is regarded as the greatest woman poet in English literature. However she is better known as the author of Wuthering Heights, her only novel. She remained a spinster throughout her life. When Wuthering Heights was published it was taken as a Gothic or horror novel. Emily had an unusual character, extremely unsocial and reserved, with few friends outside her family.
There are 3 causes: firstly , the social environment. The affinity between them is forged in rebellion, which determines the nature of their relationship. Their love is thus formed in the rebellion against social forces, families and classes, which restrict the ideals. Their love can be realized only through their rebellion against all that would destroy their inner most needs and aspirations. secondly , a world of inequality and oppression.To some extent, her betrayal to H is sort of self betrayal. Thirdly, the author’s personal social value. The miserable experience of emily in her early life much influenced her in the creation of the novel.
Thomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, in Higher Bockhampton in Dorset, a rural region of southwestern England that was to become the focus of his fiction. He won a secular fame in both novels and poets.Hardy lived and wrote in a time of difficult social change between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when England was making its slow and painful transition from an old-fashioned, agricultural nation to a modern, industrial one.
Firstly , the society background. In Tess ’s time,with the pace of industrial revolution, England
enters into an agricultural depression while capitalism is prevailing in the whole country. Under this circumstance, it is inevitable that a great number of self-supporting peasants are out of work, leading a miserable life. Secondly, Tess ’s lover is an educated and reserved gentlemen ,but he cannot get rid of custom and conventionality since the requirement of the virginity of women is rooted in people’s mind. Thirdly , Tess’s characteristic. As a peasant girl,Tess has the quality of endurance and a great sense of responsibility for raising her family so that she does not dare to object her parents’ will.
Daniel Defoe (1660–1731), was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularize the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as one of the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics. He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
His perseverance in spending months making a canoe, and in practicing pottery making until he gets it right, is praiseworthy.Additionally, his resourcefulness in building a home,dairy, grape arbor, country house , and goat stable from practically nothing is clearly remarkable.Moreover, Crusoe prefers to depict himself as an ordinary sensible man, never as an exceptional hero. Besides ,Crusoe seems incapable of deep feelings.His indifference to his wife seems almost cruel.Finally,Crusoe is nonetheless very interested in possessions, power, and prestige.
班纳特先生真是个古怪人，他一方面喜欢插科打诨，爱挖苦人，同时又不拘言笑喜怒无常，真使他那位太太积二十三年之经验，还摸不透他的性格。太太的脑子是很容易加以分析的。她是个智力贫乏、不问世事、喜怒无常的女人。
晚上，到了约定好的时间，米考伯先生又出现了。我洗了手和脸，以示对他的那种派头的敬意，然后我们一起朝着我们的住宅走去，我想这时我也该这么说了。一路上，米考编先生把街名，拐角房屋的式样都教我们记住，这样明天早上我不用费事就能找到回去的路了。 那天的夜晚尤其阴沉，尤其宁静。半夜过后，苔丝悄悄地向他讲述了他梦游的故事，说他怎样在睡梦里抱着她，冒着两人随时都会掉进河里淹死的危险，从佛卢姆河的桥上走过，把她放在寺庙废墟中的一个石头棺材里。直到现在苔丝告诉了他，他才知道了这件事。 这样的单身汉，每逢新搬到一个地方，四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何，见解如何，可是，既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心中根生蒂固，因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。
夏娃见那树上的果子非常鲜嫩可口，而且悦人眼目惹人心爱。她听说吃了它可以具有与上帝一样的智慧。因此她终于伸手摘了禁果，吃了下去；她又给了自己的丈夫亚当，亚当也吃了。
那天晚上我是怎样地辗转反侧难以入眠啊！我希望这漫长的等待的日子能突然逝去，我开始讨厌学校的功课，无论是白天在课堂上还是夜晚在卧室里，她的影子总是在我拿起书本时浮现，使我难以静读。
