7、uction1.1 Theoretical Background. His workShelley, one of the most famous poets in the history of the world literature, is the major English Romantic bard and is critically regarded among the finest lyric poets in the English language. He is man s Morningstar during his lifetime, and world -lighteni
8、ng Hesperus after his death. Shortly more than ten years, he created works handing down from generation to generation. Some we know well like “ Mab Queen ” , ” Prometheus Unbound ” , ” Ode to the West Wind” , ” Lark Songfull display of advantages in different writing styles and skills. To grasp the
9、essence of his lyric poems and to further analyze their stylistic features, we should, at first, have a general knowledge of his social background, age, and personality. His poems are really incomparable and worth our dissection and appreciation.Shelley wosr ks have exerted large influence on the de
10、veloping course of the English society and people s mind. The early three decades of Shelley s life in the 19th century was the flourishingage of the European Bourgeois Revolution and the national liberation movement. He was one of the aggressive banners and products of these movements. His rebellio
11、us spirit against oppressions and despotic rules was demonstrated since the entry into Eton College at the age of 12. He advocated democracy republican and great unity of the world through his immortal works and poems. He was on the climax of man s progressive thoughthsi,n pgu fsorward the subsequen
12、t Chartist Movement inEngland and lightening the ways and prospects of all the revolutionists. Shelley had brilliant and diverse literary talent. He wrote an assortment of lyrical poems, verse drama, essays, letters and elegies; he composed his theoretical works Defense of Poesy; he translated poems
13、 of Greece and many other countries, etc. In the midst of his all-round achievements, lyrical poems are, doubtlessly, the most prominent and popular among the readers, full of magnificent imaginations and fabulous rhythm. The subject and theme of his lyrical poems are also pretty extensive, and we c
14、an classify them into at least three categories. The first is poems on nature, which take great advantage of imposing imagination as well as romantic temperament and interest, with profound connotation and philosophic contemplation. Such as the Cloud, To a Skylark, Ode to the West Wind, etc. As far
15、as Shelley is concerned, the beauty of nature is great, running over with impetus and variation. It is the symbol for power of freedom and spirit of immortality, strengthening man sw ill of combat. The second is pomes full of distinctly political and reformative characteristics, seeking to overthrow
16、 their present institutions and to hurry the millennium out of its slow walk into a gallop. Such as Revolt of Islam, the Witch of Atlas, and To the Lord Chancellor, which are somewhat violent and ironical diatribes against government, priests, religion, even God as men supposed him to be. The third
17、is poems eulogizing love, such as The Indian Serenade and Love s Philosophy. We can find much morephilosophical thinking in these love poems, compared with those of Byron and Keats.1.2 Research status and development trendIn the late 18th to early 19th century, European literature is the mainstream
18、of the romantic literature. Romantic literature movement in the process of development, due to the different specific conditions, its development also is not the same. In the tide of romantic literature, British romantic poetry has outstanding performance. British romantic poetry have two generation
19、 of representative, the first generation of romanticism writer is the main representative Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey. In the early 19th century they had lived in the lake district in northwest England, abandoning landscape, Acura patriarchal rural life and the natural scenery, curse city lite
20、rature, remembering the feudal medieval. His poems focus on their personal life experience, personal moral self-improvement, express a state of loneliness of spirit of the new field, which is known as the lake poets. The lake poets.1.3 Methodology of Research DesignThis paper makes an analysis of Sh
21、elley s poetry writing can appreciate the thought and meaning of their works , and works embodied in the ideology of democracy and equality , and against the spirit and the spirit of optimism , on the basis of some theories. And it also proposes some conclusion on Shelley s poetry writing.Chapter St
22、ylistic Analysis2.1 To a Skylark AnalysisShelley is one of the supreme geniuses of English literature ,and his works set the readers to searching among Shelley msis cellaneous works. To have a much deeper understanding of Shelley and his works, we can find for himself the things worthy to be remembe
23、red and to analyze its type of writing and literary features. Now lets begin with his some works.Higher still and higher From the earth thou springest Like a cloud of fire; The blue deep thou wingest, And sing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.In the golden lightning Of the sunken sun, Oer w
24、hich clouds are bright ning,Thou dost float and run;Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.The pale purple even Melts around thy flight;Like a star of heaven In the broad daylight Thou art unseen, but yet I hear thy thrill delight,Keen as are the arrows Of that silver sphere, Whose intense la
25、mp narrows In the white dawn clear Until we hardly see, we feel that it is there;All the earth and air With thy voice is loud, As when night is bare From one lonely cloudThe moon rains out her beams, and Heaven is overflowed.(To a Skylark)In this poem, Shelley express with full passion, spiritual en
26、lightenment, aesthetic ideals and artistic ambition. Besides, the images are homely and impressive, words are deliberate and ideas are presented in a well-measured way. It is a piece of carol overflowed with great vitality, briskness, and happiness. In the above stanzas, the poem makes use of an alt
27、ernation of masculine and polysyllabic rhymes. In each stanza, line 1 rhymes with line 3; line 2 rhymes with line 4 and 5, which forms the rhyme-scheme, just say, ababb. The rhyme here is not just a kind of decoration but and important device for literary effects. It knits the text together and bala
28、nces the text, which regarded as a form of cohesion. This feature of this music-like style mirrors mind of the poet and give readers a strong feeling and impression of their soul and mind. As for convenience of rhyming, the poet gives special pronunciation to certain words, e.g. in the last sentence
29、 of the last stanza, the past participle overflowed ,?uv?fl ?ud is pronounced ,?uv?flaud to rhyme with loud and cloud. There is also the use of alliteration such as sunken sun and pale purple. Shelley has used the change of the pronunciations of the original words to better and more easily arrange s
30、ound patterns so that can achieve their intended communicative effects, such as oer for ove, rbright ning for brighteni,n agnd even for evening. Whats more , Shelley creates fascinating artistic images by applying many figures of speech. For The use of simile, “ like a cloud of fire ”, “ like a star
31、 of heaven and “ keen as are the arrows of that silver sphere ” , compares skylark to burning fire an heavenly star, and its voice to keen arrows, which, as can be clearly seen, vividly reveals the high spirit and strong will of the skylark and the poet as well. The two units by one of similarity, w
32、hich enable us to feel freedom symbolized by the skylark as well as the power of life.For lexical level, the words chosen is accurate and skillful. e.g. in line 5 of the second stanza, like an embodied joy whose race is just bTehgeu nlater word emb.o died is substituted by the word embodied. We can
33、interpret it semantically. The word embodied in the first version means having a tangible or visible form to an idea, quality, or feeling, while the word unbodied means having no material body. In contrast with embodied, the choice of unbodied is more appropriate and significant in showing the degre
34、e of joyance that can not be described in words and entity.Generally speaking, the poem inspires readers to get rid of regular thinking model by using their own imaginations, surmount realistic world, realizing the emotion state and thoughts of poets. Shelley even compared himself as a skylark ,whic
35、h pursuits brightness and despises the social prejudice, singing still dost soar and soaring ever singest. Thus makes the whole poem more powerful and touching.2.2 Lines AnalysisActually, In some of Shelley lysri cal poems there is a touch of gloom.Sometimes it reminds us of William Shakespeare. Suc
36、h as the short song of spinning in The Cenci . The five-act tragedy, often brings the song of Amiens in As You Like to my mind. However, Shelley excels over Shakespeare in his most distinctive works which manifest his personal characteristic with great fineness. No poet can compare with his, and eve
37、n no poet can surpass him. Let hsa ve a look at one of his short poem written in 1822.When the lamp is shattered,The light in the dust lies dead; When the cloud is scattered, The rainbow s glory is shed; When the lute is broken, Sweet tones are remembered not; When the lips have spoken, Loved accent
38、s are soon forgot.As music and splendorSurvive not the lamp and the lute,The heart s echoes renderNo song when the spirit is mute;No song but sad dirges,Like the wind through a ruined cell,Or the mournful surgesThat rings the dead seaman s knell.When hearts have once mingled, Love first leaves the w
39、ell-built nest; The weak one is singled To endure what it once possessed. O love! Who bewailest The frailty of all things here, Why choose you the frailest For your cradle, your home, and your bier?Its passions will rock thee, As the storms rock the ravens on high;Bright reason will mock thee, Like
40、the sun from a wintry sky. From thy nest every rafter Will not, and thine eagle home Leave thee naked to laughter, When leaves fall and cold winds come.(Lines)The poem tells the general rules of life, with the gloomy emotion pervading the whole poem. The poet fes eling of sadness and painfulness is
41、palpable. The general rhyme-pattern is ababcdcd. In the 6 line of the first stanza, sweet tones are not remembered and the word bewail in the third stanza is written as bewailest. Besides, the word in line 8 of the last stanza is pronounced k ?um so as to rhyme with home. This graphological deviatio
42、n in grammeatrics and phonological deviation in special pronunciation show that the poet in tends the poem to be read as a whole and place emphasis on the unity of the discourse. It makes the text highly cohesive and further reinforces and develops the emotional effect at the same time.In the first
43、stanza, the poet successfully settles the gloomy keynote of the whole poem with the shattered lamp, shed rainbow, broken lute, and forgotten accents. The theme is brought out chiefly by the parallelism of 4 groups. First, the sameness of structure implies the sameness in meaning. This tells us that
44、the speaker feels sad and hopeless when the nice things in life disappear or pass away; everything turns out to be ash and elusive. Second, the emotional feeling expressed gets stronger after each juxtaposed unit. The tone of gloom is felt throughout. The sadness deep down his heart was out of the f
45、leetness of the world, the bungle of emotions, the disappointment toward love, and the deception of life. This stylistic feature can also be found in the fourth stanza. The first two lines run parallel to the next two. The bond between the two units is one of similarity, which serves to combine the
46、line together and to give unity to feeling expressed. Besides, the words that carry the assonance are: rock, mock, and rot. Theses words seem to underline the great force of the outside world and reinforce the general atmosphere created in the poem.In the second stanza, the phrase followed by a sent
47、ence using rhetorical device, no song is repeated intermittently twice. The repetition of the phrase not only captures the emotional state of the poet but also shows his great intensity of feeling of sadness and despair. The following sentence liket he wind through a ruined cell, or the mournful sur
48、ges that ring the dead seamans knell attracts much attention tow theic lhin e itself,makes the readers pause to think seriously about the meaning of the line. This unreservedly demonstrates the poet s gloomy and bleak frame of heart, and also extendssuch feeling to the readers minds.This poem ends u
49、p with kinds of predict, we can see from which that the enthusiasm is also mingled with rough will. The words rock, mock, rot, fall make the power even stronger. The whole lines express the central theme of the poem. If it were not for the disillusionment of his infatuating beliefs; if it were not f
50、or the end of his attachment to Harriet and Mary with awakening, Shelley couldn t have worked out sucprofound poem with his unparalleled and distinguished characteristics.2.3 To The Lord Chancellor AnalysisShelley ,the master of lyrical poem is also the giant of morality and spirit. He revolted agai
51、nst oppression and despotism, and showed great sympathy for toiling masses since a child. He was so zealous for the common weal but often got backfired for his extreme aggressive ideas. He was attacked and repelled by other poets and the government at that time, but his poem and literary talent were
52、 highly recognized and praised. In my personal view, Shelley exsc ellent poems embody the high unity of reformative spirit and distinguished Ars Poetica, which has made him worthy of the title of the greatest lyrical poet in English literature.I curse thee! By a parent s outraged love,By hopes long
53、cherished and too lately lost,By gentle feelings thou couldst never porve,By griefs which thy stern nature never crossed;By those infantine smiles of happy light,Which were a fire within a stranger s hearth,Quenched even when kindled, -in untimely night,Hiding the promise of a lovely birth;By thy co
54、mplicity with lust and hate,Thy thirst for tears thy hunger after gold;The ready frauds which ever on thee wait,The servile arts in which thou hast grown oldBy all the hate which checks a father s love,By all the scorn which kills a father s care,By those most impious hands which dared removeNature
55、s high boundsby theeand by despairYes, the despair which bids a father groan, And cry, “ My children are no longer mine;The blood within those veins may be mine own,But, Tyrant, their polluted souls are thine;I curse thee, though I hate thee not. O slave!If thou couldst quench the earth-consuming He
56、llOf which thou art a demon, on thy graveThis curse should be a blessing. Fare the well!(To The Lord Chancellor)To carry out the stylistic analysis of this poem, I have chosen six stanzas from the sixteen of the whole poem. It is an official denunciation of the reactionary rulers of England and the sinful church and the poet s sadness and indigna atioren reinforced by the exclamation mark“ ! ” . We can find that there are 8 exclamatio
