英美文学 杰弗里乔叟 Geoffrey Chaucer.pptVIP

MADE BY ALICE Brief Introduction 1357年做宫廷侍童， 1359年参加对法作战时被俘，翌年由国王赎回， 1361年-1367年在内殿法学协会受训， 1366年与王后寝宫的女官结婚，此后多次代表爱德华三世出使欧洲大陆，到过比利时、法国、意大利等国，有机会遇见薄伽丘与彼特拉克，这对他的文学创作产生了很大的影响。 1374年，乔叟任伦敦毛皮关税管理员， 1382年兼任酒类及其它商品的关税管理员。 1385年，乔叟任肯特郡治安法官，第二年被选为该郡骑士代表出席议会下院。 1389年理查德亲政后，乔叟又先后担任过王室建筑工程主事和萨默塞特王室森林副主管。乔叟在庇护者失宠期间，被剥夺了官位和年金，经济拮据。他曾写过打油诗《致空囊》给刚登基的亨利四世，申诉自己的贫穷。 1400年乔叟逝世，安葬在伦敦威斯敏特斯教堂的“诗人之角”(Poets Corner)，他也是第一位葬于此的诗人。 英雄双韵体(Heroic Couplet) 英雄双韵体 (Heroic Couplet) 是一种英国古典诗体，由乔叟首创。由十音节双韵诗体演化而来，每行五个音步,每个音步有两个音节,第一个是轻音,第二个是重音.句式均衡、整齐、准确、简洁、考究。 拿四行诗的押韵方式为例，有abab型，有abcb型，有abba型，有aabb型，还有aaab型。第四种（aabb型）实际上是双行押韵，英语称之为couplet,如果每行五音步，则称之为“英雄双韵体”。 My own Views Chaucer’s poetry is plainly narrative. Everything is based on reality. Through his narrative, a comprehensive picture of the society is presented before the readers. Chaucer wrote in the London dialect of his day. In so doing Chaucer greatly increased the prestige of the English language. He is really a great man.
