johnson英文高级散文赏析

英国新古典主义时期的代表作家:约翰.班扬 John Bunyan, 代表作《天路历程》（The Pilgrim's Progress）亚历山大.蒲伯 Alexander Pope 新古典主义诗歌的代表，他模仿罗马诗人，诗风精巧隽俏，内容以说教与讽刺为主，形式多用英雄双韵体，但缺乏深厚感情。 他出版了散文《论批评》（An Essay on Criticism），从此奠定了他在诗坛的地位。次年，他又出版了《夺发记》（The Rape of the Lock），一部极妙的讽刺史诗。丹尼尔.笛福 Daniel Defoe 代表作《鲁宾逊漂流记》（Robinson Crusoe）乔纳森.斯威夫特 Jonathan Swift 代表作《格列佛游记》（Gulliver's Travels）亨利.菲尔丁 Henry Fielding 代表作 《弃儿汤姆·琼斯的历史》（The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling ）塞缪尔.约翰逊Samuel Johnson 编撰英文词典的第一个英国人，作品为《英文大词典》(A Dictionary of the English Language)，这部巨著是塞缪尔.约翰逊花了七年时间独自完成的。理查德.比.谢立丹Richard Brinsley Sheridan 代表作《情敌》（The Rivals ）和《造谣学校》（The School for Scandal)被认为是上承莎士比亚，下接萧伯纳的纽带，是真正的英国古典派喜剧。托马斯.格雷Thomas Gray 代表作《墓园挽歌》（Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard ）

until you fall into sleep.
