12、efforts is usually called the“Carolingian Renaissance”.The most interesting fact of this minor renaissance is the spectacle of Frankish or Germanic state reaching out to assimilate the riches of the Roman Classical and the Christianized Hebraic culture.查理曼建造寺院学校，鼓励、支持学者做学问，并让抄写员抄录各种古籍书刊。由于抄写员们工作非常努力

13、，因此，当时的古典书籍几乎都被保存了下来。他所做出的这些贡献被称之为“卡洛琳复兴”。在这一小规模的复兴卡洛琳复兴中，法兰克或日尔曼国家吸收了罗马古典文化和希伯来基督文化的财富。2.Alfred the Great and Wessex Center of Learning 阿尔弗雷德大帝阿尔弗雷德大帝w Alfred the Great3.St.Thomas Aquinas and Scholasticism（经院哲学）（经院哲学）w St.Thomas Aquinas（阿奎那）（阿奎那）w Summa Contra Gentiles 反异教大全反异教大全w Summa Theologiae

16、s of one or more legendary or traditional heroes.The action is simple but full of magnificence.Today,some long narrative works,like novels that reveal an age and its people are also called epic.何为史诗？何为史诗？w 史诗指古代叙事诗中的长篇作品，常反映具有重大意义的历史事件或以古代传说为内容，塑造著名英雄形象。其结构宏大，充满着幻想和神话色彩。著名史诗如古希腊的伊里亚特和奥德赛。有时，某些比较全面地反

17、映一个历史时期社会面貌和人民群众多方面生活的 优秀长篇叙事作品，如长篇小说，也可称为史诗，或史诗式的作品。Beowulf贝奥武甫贝奥武甫What is the plot and theme of Englands national epic Beowulf?英国史诗英国史诗贝奥武甫贝奥武甫的情节是如何展开的？其主题是什么的情节是如何展开的？其主题是什么？w Beowulf,nephew of the king of the Geats,hears that Hrothgar,a Danish king,is in great trouble.The kingdom of the king is

18、 harassed by a monster called Grendel.He at once sails there,grapples with the monster,and wounds it fatally.Then comes Grendels mother,a she-monster,in revenge of her son.Beowulf follows her to her under-water cave and kills her with a giant sword.With these honors won,he returns to his homeland an

19、d reigns as its king for 50 years.Then a fire-breathing dragon comes out of its den and kills many people.Though old now,Beowulf still kills it sing-handedly.But he,too,is fatally wound and later dies.Thematically,this poem shows how the primitive people fight against the forces of the natural world

20、 under a wise and mighty leader.w 史诗贝奥武甫主要描写了古叶亚特某国王的侄子，贝奥武甫的三次英勇战绩。他初次与怪兽格兰德尔相搏，重创怪兽；继而又与其母在水下搏击，使巨剑亦杀其母。然后载誉而归，统治国家达年之久。其后，一喷火伤人的巨龙出现，贝奥武甫拼其残年余力，为民杀龙除害后死去。贝奥武甫反映了氏族部落社会的价值观念。对武士们来说,最高的美德是忠诚和勇敢，忠于国王,也就是忠于集体。武士们凭着勇敢来实现自我完善。虽然人们相信命运,但是勇敢的人也会战胜命运。一个勇敢的战士在最终被命运战胜以前,必须作出最英勇的事迹。这些事迹将使他永远活在后世人们的记忆里，这样他就获得

21、了永生，成为永垂不朽的英雄。这些氏族部落社会的观念是异教的，非基督教的。但也有人认为这首诗是表现善恶斗争的基督教作品。格兰德尔是该隐的后代，它和它的水怪母亲代表邪恶，贝奥武甫战胜它们即善战胜了恶。火龙在教会寓言里象征撒旦，贝奥武甫战胜了火龙，这也就象征耶稣基督战胜了撒旦。在贝奥武甫身上也确实体现了救世主的精神。从这个角度看古英语史诗贝奥武甫和十七世纪弥尔顿的宗教史诗失乐园似乎也有一脉相承的地方。B.Song of Roland(罗兰之歌）罗兰之歌）w 组诗组诗：w La Chanson de Gestes 武功歌武功歌罗兰之歌流传着许多抄本，其中以牛津大学收藏的抄本最为完善。全诗长4,002行

22、，分291节，是用当时民间语言罗曼语写成。诗的结构大致可分为3个部分：第1部分写加奈隆投敌叛卖，是序幕；第2部分写骑士罗兰率领的两万骑兵遇上敌人伏击，全军覆没，是全诗的高潮；第3部分写对叛徒加奈隆的惩罚，是尾声。这首史诗以描写查理大帝的胜利开始。查理大帝率大军在西班牙转战7年，无往而不胜。只有信奉伊斯兰教的马席勒国王尚未被征服，他面临查理大帝的大军压境，一面遣使求和，一面阴谋袭击敌军。查理大帝召集众将商议，他的外甥罗兰骑士主战。另一骑士加奈隆受了敌人的贿赂，主张议和。罗兰建议派加奈隆去敌营探听虚实。这是一个有生命危险的使命。加奈隆怀恨罗兰，阴谋报复。到了敌营，加奈隆叛变。他与敌人合谋，设重兵在

23、山谷中伏击罗兰率领的两万骑兵。罗兰仓卒应战，终于全军覆没，自已也战死沙场。查理大帝闻讯回兵支援罗兰，已无法挽回败局。查理大帝回到法国，严惩叛徒加奈隆，处以四马分尸的极刑。2.Dante Alighieri and The Divine Comedyw A.Dante Alighieri（但丁）（但丁）w great poet of Italyw prose writerw literary theoristw moral philosopherw political thinkerB.The Divine Comedy（神曲神曲）w Landmark of world literaturew

25、领域的成就和一些重大的问题，带有“百科全书百科全书”性质，从中也可隐约窥见文艺复兴时性质，从中也可隐约窥见文艺复兴时期人文主义思想的曙光。在这部长达一万四千余行期人文主义思想的曙光。在这部长达一万四千余行的史诗中，但丁坚决反对中世纪的蒙昧主义，表达的史诗中，但丁坚决反对中世纪的蒙昧主义，表达了执着地追求真理的思想，对欧洲后世的诗歌创作了执着地追求真理的思想，对欧洲后世的诗歌创作有极其深远的影响。有极其深远的影响。全诗为三部分：全诗为三部分：地狱地狱(Inferno,Hell)、炼狱炼狱(Purgatorio,Purgatory)和和天堂天堂(Paradiso,Paradise)，谴责，谴责教会

28、enth century,it was much used for heroic(epic)poems.什么是什么是“英雄双行体英雄双行体”？w 英雄双行体属于双行诗，由两个押韵的抑扬格五音步诗行构成，常包含一个完整的意思。第二句结尾力度加强，每句中或一、二句之间常用平行对偶结构。在英国，特别是在十八世纪，这种诗体常被用来写作史诗，因而得名。The Canterbury TalesV.Art and Architecturew Romanesque:（罗马式）（罗马式）means in the Roman mannerGothic(哥特式）哥特式）Gothic(哥特式）哥特式）w A style of architecture originated in N.France in 11th century,characterized by pointed arches,ribbed vaulting,steep,high roofs,etc.Summing-upAmerican gothicClinton American GothicBushs American GothicObamas American GothicUrban American Gothic
