  4. I.Jane Austen (1775-1817) • The English author Jane Austen lived from 1775 to 1817. Her novels are highly prized not only for their light irony, humor, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious qualities.

  9. Style of Jane Austen Her fictional world: She called her work “small square two inches of ivory”. In her little world there are country gentlemen and ladies together with snobs, bores and social “climbers”, “three or four families in a village”. She wrote about parish life with calls, walks, picnics, conversations, parties, balls, marriages (no great events: Napoleonic war and Industrial Revolution left no trace). Snobbery, smugness, condescension, and lack of consideration are all held to our scorn, but the fundamental basis of the class society is left unchallenged.

George Gordon Byron (1788-1824) 1.His life 2.Features of his poems: • combined satires, philosophy, picturesque description with strong passions and poetic lyricism. • Byronic heroes—A kind of hero found in several of the works of Lord Byron. Like Byron himself, a Byronic hero is a melancholy and rebellious young man, distressed by a terrible wrong he committed in the past

  11. 1.The Poem: She Walks in Beauty 1) questions 2)translation

  12. 她走在美的光彩中 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　查良铮译 她走在美的光彩中，象夜晚 皎洁无云而且繁星满天；明与暗的最美妙的色泽，在她的仪容和秋波里呈现：耀目的白天只嫌光太强，它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。 增加或减少一分明与暗, 就会损害这难言的美，美波动在她乌黑的发上，或者散布淡淡的光辉， 在那脸庞，恬静的思绪，指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。 啊，那额际，那鲜艳的面颊， 如此温和，平静，而又脉脉含情， 那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩，都在说明一个善良的生命： 她的头脑安于世间的一切，她的心充溢着真纯的爱情

  13. 1.The Poem: When a man hath no freedom… 1)explain 2)questions

  14. Memorable quotations from Byron • 1) The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sang, Where grew the arts of war and peace, Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung! Eternal summer gilds them yet, (still, now) But all, except their sun, is set (1 stanza, Canto III, Don Juan)

  15. 2) There is a pleasant in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal. (178,Canto IV The Ocean: Child Harold’s Pilgrimage 222)
