Literature refers to the practice and profession of writing. It comes from human interest in telling a story， in arranging words in artistic forms， in describing in words some aspects of human experiences. Literature shows us not only what a society is like in a certain age， but also what individuals feel about it， what they hope from it， and how they can change it or escape from it. 文学就是人学。 ——钱谷融 Literature is the study of (social) human beings. 文学作品主要就是描写人在社会中的沧桑沉浮。 A literary work is something mainly to portray how humans struggle to succeed and fail in the society.

Ⅶ The Romantic Age(1789-1837) Ⅷ English Literature of Victorian Age (1837- 1901) Ⅸ 20th Century Literature I. Anglo-Saxon Period (449-1066) This period extended from about 449-1066， the year of the Norman-French conquest of England. The Germanic tribes from Europe who overrun England in the 5th century， after the Roman withdraw， brought with the Old English， or Anglo-Saxon language， which is the basis of modern English. They brought also a specific poetic tradition， the formal character of which remained surprisingly constant until the termination of their rule by the Norman-French invaders 6 centuries later. Achievements Poetry Much of old English poetry was probably intended to be chanted， with harp (a kind of instrument in Chinese means 竖琴) accompaniment， by Anglo-Saxon scop (poet in Chinese means 吟游诗人)， often bold and strong， but also mournful and elegiac (sad) in spirit. Major achievement: Beowulf II. The Anglo-Norman Period (1066-1350) This period began from 1066， the year of the Norman-French conquest of England. The literature they brought to England is remarkable for its bright， romantic tales of love and adventure， in contrast with the strength and somberness of Anglo-Saxon poetry. Achievement Legend Arthurian Legend Ⅲ Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) Geoffrey Chaucer: the “father of English poetry” and one of the greatest narrative poets of England Chaucer’s creative work vividly reflected the changes which had taken root in English culture of the second half of the 14th century. His poetry traces out a path to the literature of English Renaissance. Major Work: The Canterbury Tales Ⅳ. The Renaissance Period (1485-early 17th century) Literary Trends: Renaissance and Humanism The Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to the modern world.

Literature Before 1950s Literary Traits: Modernism Modernism takes the irrational philosophy and the theory of psycho-analysis as its theoretical base. The major themes of the modernist literature are the distorted， alienated and ill relationships between man and nature， man and society， man and man， and man and himself. The modernist writers concentrate more on the private than on the public， more on the subjective than on the objective. They are mainly concerned with the inner being of an individual. Poetry: T. S. Eliot: The Waste Land B. Drama: George Benard Shaw: Saint Joan C. Novel: Henry James: Daisy Miller Joseph Conrad: Lord Jim D. H. Lawrence: Sons and Lovers， James Joyce: Ulysses
