Mark Twain作者、写作风格及代表作简介

第一篇：Mark Twain作者、写作风格及代表作简介

Mark Twain's(1835-1910)real name was Samuel Clemens.“Mark Twain”, which means“watermark two”, was a call used by sailors on the Mississippi to warn shipmates that they were coming into shallow water.Mark Twain was a great American writer, and he was also a famous speaker.Twain was born in Florida and he was not a healthy baby.In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter.But with his mother's tender care, he managed to survive.As a boy, he didn't like to go to school, and he constantly ran away from home.He used to be a journey man printer at the age of 18 and a pilot in the Mississippi River.His first novel, The Gilded Age, written in collaboration with Charles Dudley Warner, was an artistic failure.In 1867, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County(1867), a collection of short stories, makes Mark Twain's national reputation now well established as “the wild humorist of the Pacific slope”.Twain's humour are always hoax, puns, tall tales, straight-faced exaggeration, anti-climax and tricks of travesty and invective.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was an immediate success as “a boy's book” when it was published;its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which Twain wrote some years later, became his masterwork, the one book from which, as Ernest Hemingway noted, “all modern American literature comes.”

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was written with the idea of lost boyhood.Twain used the first person narration.It is Mark Twain’s greatest achievement.It presents the world’s view of America and has a profound impact on the development of American writing.Twain's influences on American writers of the 20th century was his presentation of native American material, his art of the vernacular idiom, his departure from the tradition of the 19th century gentility, and his sense of alienation.This novel shows Twain's satire on southern culture before the Civil War, around 1850, when the Mississippi Valley was still being settled.Twain condemned racial discrimination.It also shows his satire on the poor whites, their ludicrous idea—they were white and they were better than black slaves, and that his satire on the genteel upper-class southerners—a very aristocratic life and being violent accepting their violence as right.The novel uses vernacular language, unpretentious, colloquial, and poetic style and the directness of the language.Twain depicted social life through descriptions of local places and people he knew best.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the major achievements of his art—the carefully controlled point of view, with its implicit ironies expressed through the voice of a semiliterate boy;the masterful use of dialects;the felicitous balancing of nostalgic romanticism and realism, humor and pathos, innocence and evil.This novel shows his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.

第二篇：Jane Austen作者、写作风格及代表作简介

Jane Austen

Jane Austen(1775-1817)is a famous English female writer.She is the first mature novelist.Although she was born in the romantic period, she is not a romantic writer.She tends to be realistic, but is influenced by romanticism in some ways.Austen came from a well-cultured country family.As she published her novels anonymously, she was not famous in her lifetime.Scott admired her talent for portraying ordinary life in a wonderful way.Among her numerous strengths are her exquisite, compact prose, her moral judgment, her wit, and her vivid character portrayal.She was not married in her lifetime.One thing to note about her fiction is its limited subject.She wrote her novels for her own family circle.Her novels cover just that section of society to which she belonged: the country gentry and their lives in the rural village setting.There is hardly any aristocrat or a poor peasant to feature as her major characters.It reveals a principle in literary creation that one can show one’s best when one makes the best of one’s best knowledge.Austen’s writing feature is unifying the realistic and detailed portrayal of outward manners and behaviors combined with inward psychological exploration.Other features of her writing are the complex and subtle portrayal of characters, a classic precision of structure, a vivid and humorous dialogue, her quiet irony and her simple delicate analysis of character.Because of her “limitation”, her novels have neither heroic passions nor astounding adventures.Austen is the founder of the novel dealing with unimportant middle-class people.Her writing style is easy and effortless.Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s masterpiece.The story is mainly about Mrs.Bennet’s four daughters’ marriage.Elizabeth, the second oldest daughter and Darcy’s love is used as the main plotline and the other three daughters’ marriage as the subordinate plot.In the story, Charlotte and Mr.Collins marry for material wealth and social position.Lydia and Wickham marry for passion.While, Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley marry for true love.The gallery of woman here is simply glittering.It is the panorama view of the female gender in the world of men.Austen uses love and marriage as the subject matter, and dedicatedly describes the middle class and upper class’s life during late 18th to early 19th century.The theme of the story is that maturity is achieved through the loss of illusions.

第三篇：Thomas Hardy作者、写作风格及代表作简介[小编推荐]

Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy(1840-1928)is the last of the great Victorian novelist.Hardy was born in Dorset, southern England.Son of a builder, he became a builder himself.At the age of 22, he began to write poetry.He insisted in studying literature and philosophy by himself.Then in 1867, he began to write novels.While, for the last three decades of his life, he turned back to poetry and became one of the major Victorian poets.Hardy was the most pessimistic novelist of the Victorian Age.Life after 1870s became drastically different with drastic changes in mood and tenor.The age of Emile Zola’s naturalism had arrived.Hardy was apparently affected: the spirit of determinism characteristic of the naturalistic works of the period permeated his later novels as well.But Hardy is not a naturalistic writer.Hardy was a prolific writer.His Victorian novels were divided into 3 groups, novels of character and environment, romances and fantasies and novels of ingenuity.He also wrote short stories and post-Victorian poetry.Hardy’s writing features lie in his determinist stance on the nature of life and the cosmos, his sharp sense of the humorous and absurd and his love and observation of the natural world with strong symbolic effect.Hardy’s stories are always moving and bewitching.He deviates consciously from traditional Victorian realism that emphasizes plot more than characterization.It is definitely to his credit that he manages to bring back to fiction a high sense of tragedy, the Greek sense of fatality.What’s more, Hardy places emphasis on the deeper psychology of his characters.Hardy’s language possesses a silent power and charm.His prose is studded with rhetorical devices and poetic imagery, and is richly connotative.He is also famous for his uneven style.While there are some minor flaws in Hardy’s works-his ideas are not always clear, and his plots may occasionally jump and dislocate.Tess of the D’Urbervilles is the most famous novel of Hardy.The story is about the tragic fate of Tess.Tess is a beautiful and pure girl at first.Then tragedies happen to her constantly.Under the torment of the hate for Alec and the love for Angel, Tess falls into great despair and she stabs Alec and runs away with Angel.But she is finally arrested and hanged.The story reveals the spirit of determinist defeatism and enforces its shibboleth of predestination, and no amount of human effort can alter its design of darkness.Tess is a paragon of innocence.What she asks for life is simple enough: to be loved and happy.But she is not get it because she is at the mercies of the odds against her.(Two men must appear in her life to confuse and distract her.One is totally evil;the other apparently good.The two both serve as the instruments of Chance.So many coincidences occur in Tess’ life that the hand of Chance is in evidence wherever she goes.)This novel is a mirror for the spirit of the time.Hardy describes his critical attitude towards the unjust treatment of women and his denunciation of the hypocrisy of the social structures an moral codes of Victorian England.

第四篇：Edgar Allen Poe作者、写作风格及代表作简介

Edgar Allen Poe(1809-1849)is a master of the suspenseful short story.He is also a poet and the first great critic of America.Poe was born in Boston, gifted but tormented.His life was precarious, frequently destitute and completely impoverished.He worked for several magazines and joined the staff of the New York Mirror newspaper in 1844.All the while, he was battling a drinking problem.After the Mirror published his poem “The Raven” in January 1845, Poe achieved national and international fame.He was an inventor of a new symbolic poetry, the new short story in the detective and science fiction, an important artistic theory and analytical criticism.Poe was brilliantly talented, intellectually untrained, and socially displaced.His themes and his view was shaped by the French symbolist poets.He was not popular in America until the 20th century because his view was ahead of his time.In the 20th century, he became a major romantic writer in America, very popular with Freudian psychological critics.Poe's literary theory lies in poetry and fiction.His poetry is the creation of beauty and the tone of sadness.His short poems are the level of emotion.The most potential topic of his poetry is the death of a beautiful woman.The object of poetry is pleasure.Music is an essential part of his poetry.Poe's fiction presents 70 tales of wonder or horror, wit or humor, reflection or ratiocination and the deductive skill.He is the first to develop the short story as a distinctive art form, unity of impression and brevity.His fiction focuses on the effect first and then the incidents.He believes the merit of a work of art is its psychological effect upon the reader and that writer should subordinate everything to effect.Poe cared about effect, not ideas.His subjects and themes of both poetry and fiction are either universal or exotic.His fiction is the earliest American detective fiction and science fiction.Poe is also a pioneering aesthetician, psychological investigator, and literary technician.The Fall of the House of Usher is one of his major works.The central theme is terror that arises from the complexity and multiplicity of forces that shape human destiny.Dreadful, horrifying events result not from a single, uncomplicated circumstance but from a collision and intermingling of manifold, complex circumstances.In Poe’s story, the House of Usher falls to ruin for the reasons listed under “Other Themes”.From the very beginning, the narrator realizes that he is entering a world of mystery when he crosses the tarn bridge.He observes, “What was it–I paused to think–what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher ? It was a mystery all insoluble.”
