Unit five The Nightingale and the Rose 1. Introduction to the author Oscar Wilde: (1856-1900), a famous English poet, dramatist and writer, English Literature in the history of aesthetic movement and the founder of one of the chief advocates of "art for art's sake", with a utilitarian object to color literature, that literature should not be By any moral standard disposable. He is also the decadent British literature. Wilde's father was a doctor and his mother was a poet, both high quality arts and culture, to exert an imperceptible influence on his inspiration in literature and arts. In the Oxford University student, Oscar Wilde by his teacher Ruskin (fairy tale "The River King," the authors), together with their own talent and began trying to create. The main achievements in the literary fairy tale, poetry, fiction, drama and so on, are representative of the fairy tale "The Happy Prince" and "Pomegranate House", as well as the drama "Lady Windermere's Fan" and so on. 奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde,1854~1900),19 世纪出生在英国(准确来讲 是爱尔兰,但是当时由英国统治。)最伟大的作家与艺术家之一,以其剧作、 诗歌、童话和小说闻名。唯美主义代表人物,19 世纪 80 年代美学运动的主力 和 90 年代颓废派运动的先驱。 王尔德一生创作了大量的作品。他取材丰富、涉猎面广。有评论,有童话,有 戏剧。但是他的长篇小说只有一部——《道林·格雷的画像》(1890)。王尔 德在这部小说中,以丰富的想象,离奇的情节,优美的文笔,富于哲理的语言, 揭露了英国上流社会的精神空虚与道德沉沦,交织着善与恶,美与丑,灵魂的 堕落到肉体的毁灭的悲剧,形象地表明了作者自己的人生观、道德观和艺术观
这部小说,以独特的艺术构思形象化地阐述了“艺术至上”的理论。画家贝西 尔不为名利而创作肖像,由于他在追求“美”的过程中,在画像上注入了自己 的“全部心血”,才使画像具有异常的“美”和奇特的生命力。作者通过这样 的情节安排来说明:唯有贯彻“为艺术而艺术”的主张创造出来的艺术品才能 算作永恒的崇高的至善至美的艺术品。它所体现出来的“唯美主义”、“为艺 术而艺术”等观点,用马列主义文艺观来衡量当然是不无偏颇之处,但是我们 应当看到这是当时的知识分子试图逃避资本主义制度下的罪恶而产生的一种天 真的想法,可以认为这是针对资本主义制度的一种消极的反动。 王尔德是英国唯美主义运动的倡导者,19世纪与萧伯纳齐名的英国才子,他一 生中就写过九篇童话,但每一篇都是精华,他的童话作品可以与安徒生童话和 格林童话相媲美。《快乐王子和其他故事》(The Happy Prince and Other Tales童话集l888年)收录童话:《快乐王子(The happy prince)》 《夜莺与蔷薇(The nightingale and the rose)》《自私的巨人(The selfish Giant)》《忠实的朋友(The devoted friend)》《了不起的火箭 (The remarkable rocket)》《石榴屋》(A House of Pomegranates 189 年)收录童话:《少年国王(The young king)》《西班牙公主的生日(The birthday of the infanta)》《渔人和他的灵魂(The fisherman and his soul)》《星孩(The star-child)》 2.introduction to fairy tale A fairy tale is an English language expression for a kind of short story.There are usually fairies,goblins,elves,trolls,giants or gnomes in fairy tales,and usually magic. The characters and motifs of fairy tales are simple:princesses and girls taking care of geese;youngest sons and brave princes;ogres,giants,dragons,and trolls;wicked stepmothers and false heroes;fairy godmothers and other magic helpers,often talking horses,or foxes,or birds;rules,and people breaking rules
