问题2：怎样复习英国文学史?

一、制作小卡片,随时复习

《英国文学史及选读》第一题是作家作品对号,此题看似简单,但这10分却不好拿,有的考生作家比较熟悉,却忘了他的作品；有的对作品不陌生却又记不起是谁写的了.为了加深记忆,便于复习,一个行之有效的方法就是制作小卡片.其内容可包括作家的名字,生活创作的年代,作品的名称（代表作、成名作、其他重要作品）.还可加上作品中男女主人公的名称,他们之间的关系等等.

当然,如果想详细一些的话,可以在作者的下面补充上其写作的特色,作品的后面加一其主题,限于空间,最好只写要点或关键词.

二、勤于思索,善于总结

第二题是单项选择题,约占总分值的30％,主要考察文学常识部分.这一部分涉及的面较广,应该注意每个作家在文学史上的地位,某部作品在历史转型时期所起的作用,每个时代的文学流派及其特点等等,所做的复习准备工作要扎实细致,对大纲所指定的参考书目要仔细研究,特别要留意书上结论性,评价性的言语.

第三题为双选题,大约占50％的分值,在四个给出的答案中选出两个正确的答案.显然,其难度要比单选题大,不过内容与第二题大体相当,只不过对于某些文学常识不但要记,而且要记得准.

第四题为填空题,大约占10％的分值,其考查内容为文学常识与作品选 读交叉.如在1997年的考题中有这样一道题：All of the novels written by Samuel Richardson are in the form of letters.考的是对某一作家写作特点的掌握,属于文学常识方面的知识；而“Oliver Twist/ tells the story of an orphan,whose adventures provide a description of the lower depths of London.（98年考题）考的是对狄更斯的一部分作品是否熟悉,属于作品选读方面的内容.

第五题为名词解释,份值约占15％.需要的名词往往是某种文学体裁,如：Romance,sonnet,Realistic Novel等；或是某一类别的作家群体,如：Radical Enlighteners,Lake Poets等；再或是某一文学流派,如：Sentimentalism,Neo-classicism等.回答第一类名词时要说明该体裁的特点,盛行的年代；第二类要说明盛行的年代,代表性的作家,以及其文学主张等；第三类要说明该派别有何特点和主张,盛行的年代和代表性的作家有哪些等等.

三、分析作品,便于记忆

第六题为作品题分析题,约占总分的10％,考生在该题上失分最多.究其原因,其一,没有花大量的时间来仔细阅读作品,故而印象不深；其二,由于文学语言是语言中的精华,需要有一定的文学修养和扎实的语言功底才能解读明白,尤其是英语诗歌,有些同学可能读了数遍,到头来还是一头雾水,不知所云.该题的出题方式往往是给出四行短诗,让判明出处,即作者是谁,诗的题目叫什么.还有就诗的主题,诗人所表达的感情,诗中的意象以及其他方面的内容提出问题.若想答好这道题,如果不对作品进行深入的分析是不可能的.笔者认为略微学点Poetic Form（诗体）,即英诗格律方面的知识对于理解记忆诗歌大有好处,如莎士比亚善Sonnet（十四行诗）,弥尔顿不朽的史诗Paradise Lost是用Black verse（素体诗）写成,从诗体着眼,有助于我们正确作出判断.另外,还可从Subject Matter（题材）方面入手,英诗有史诗,抒情诗,叙事诗,哲理诗等,选读中以抒情诗为主,如拜伦,雪莱诗中革命激情的奔放,华兹华斯诗中隐含着的对自然欲语还休的淡淡的忧伤等.换句话说,诗歌的风格,表达的思想感情,都能为我们判断诗歌提供线索.

四、体裁为经,历史为纬

最后两道题分别是简答题和论述题,约占总分的20％,其内容往往涉及到某一作家的写作特点,在文学史上的地位和作用其考查；某一部作品的主题,复述作品的故事梗概；某一文学流派的特点和主张等等.为准备这部分内容,可以把指定参考书中所有的作家作品按小说,诗歌,戏剧,散文分类,即以体裁为经,纵向比较各个作家各有何特点,当然,这里会有交叉,一位作者的创作领域会有多样性,既可能是小说家同时又是诗人.以历史为纬,把文学史上所有的文学流派纵向分类比较,即某一时期的某一流派是如何既背离又继承前一时期的文学传统,同时又为下一时期的某种文学流派的兴起开辟了道路.
