13What are the main features of the works of the romanticists?
the general feature of the works of the romanticists is a dissatisfaction with the bourgeois society,which finds expression in a revolt(反叛,背叛) against or an escape from the prosaic([pr鹅’zeik],无聊的),sordid(肮脏的,污垢的) daily life,the “prison of the actual” under capitalism.Their writings are filled with strong —willed heroes,formidable (可怕的,令人畏惧的) events,tragic situations,powerful conflicting passions,and exotic pictures.Sometimes they resort (求助,寄托) to symbolic methods.With the active romanticists,symbolic pictures represent a vague (模糊的,含糊的)idea of some future society,while with the passive romanticists,these often take on a mystic color (e.g.Coleridge’s ancient Mariner),in contrast to the rationalism(理性主义,唯理主义) of the enlighteners (启蒙主义者)in the 18th century,the romanticists paid great attention to the spiritual(精神的)and emotional (情感的)role(职分,责任) in their works.The passions of man (人性的激情) and the beauties of nature (自然的美丽)appealed strongly to (呼吁,恳求) the imagination of the writer,and the glory of lakes and mountains,the little joys or sorrows of children,the weal (幸福,) and woe (痛苦)of ordinary,uncultured peasants,the wonder of the fairy world,and the splendor (华丽,壮丽) of classical art all became the fountain-heads (根源,本原)of the writer’s inspiration.(灵感) Poetry ,of course is the best medium to express all these sentiments.In fact,all the romanticists mentioned above were poets.
