10. Who are the main writers during the neoclassical period?

transition from classicism to its opposite, romanticism in English poetry.
38. How to understand the art of satire in The School for Scandal?
Sheridan's famous comedy The School for Scandal is considered his masterpiece. In the play,
the author contrasts two brothers-Joph Surface and Charles Surface. Joph is a hypocrite,
always declaring noble feelings and uttering moral speeches, while Charles is a reckless prodigal
and a gambler, but he is frank, honest and good-natured. What's more, many names in it are
very meaningful. As soon as one reads the name, he will e the people. For example, the person
who is good at sneering at others are called Sneerwell; the person who likes talking is named
Tattle; the cunning one is Snake, etc. The names vividly describe the main features of the
corresponding person, and help the reader to understand the theme of Sheridan's work. This
play reprents a brilliant portrayal of England's high society and a biting satire on the morals
and manners of the aristocratic-bourgeois society in the 18th century.
3. What is the feature of the Romantic literary works?
The Romantics were strongly against the modes of thinking in the 18th century which saw
man as a social animal. They emphasized the special qualities of each individual. So Romanticism
actually constitutes a change of direction from attention to the outer world of social civilization
to the inner world of the human spirit. They place the individual at the center of art and make
literature most valuable as an expression of his or her unique feelings and particular attitudes,
and value its accuracy in portraying the individual's experiences.
5. What's the difference between Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience? Is there
any significance?
The Songs of Innocence is a lively volume of poems which reprent a happy and innocent
world although there are evil and suffering existing. While the Songs of Experience paints quite a
different world, a world full of miry, poverty, war, and repression. Take "The Chimney
Sweeper" for example: in Songs of innocence, although the wretched child is orphaned,
exploited, when he dreamed that he had been relead out of the black coffin, he couldn't
help running, leaping and laughing. Although he had to get up early in the dark and cold winter
morning, he felt "happy and warm" becau he is told that if he'd be a good boy, he'd have God
for his father and never want joy. As a whole, the poem is active, optimistic and passionate.
While the little chimney sweeper in Songs of Experience is depresd. He was wrapped in the
clothes of death and sang
"notes of woe" in a snowy day while his parents went to prai "God & his Priest & King" which is
the very instruments of their repression and "who make up a heaven of our miry. Quite
different from the Songs of Innocence, the poems in Songs of Experience are gray, gloomy and
pessimistic.
20. What are the major works of Shelley?
Romantic poet Shelley's distinguished lyrics are:Ode to the West Wind, To a
Skylark, and The Cloud. And the immortal four-act poetic drama Prometheus Unbound
