Part Ⅰ Vocabulary & Grammar
Since the time of Socrates, it has been widely said that art imitates life.In the case of literature, however, it would be more accurate to say that art reflects life.The writings of the Romantics were a natural result of life in 19th century America and American Romanticism was the first truly American literary movement, including a group of authors who wrote and published between 1820 and 1860.
The unique American history and landscape had a profound influence on the romanticists.Many were writing not long after the War of 1812.This was a time of growth and expansion and their idealism fuelled high hopes for the infant nation.The country was moving westward into vast newly acquired territory.The frontier, both as a place and a concept, became an important representation of the American spirit.
While American Romanticism was a new attitude towards nature, it was also a new attitude towards people, promoting the solitary individual standing against society.Individualism is the typical American values and was central to their writings, which urged people to follow their inner knowing regardless of the pressure to conform.
Romantic writers rebelled against the idea that reason was the best tool for discovering truth.Instead, they deliberately explored feelings, imagination, fantasy, and belief.Their style took advantage of personal freedom in order to break through the wall separating the author and the reader, and gave the author the freedom to comment on the events in the story in novel ways.
Stylistically, the American Romantics liked to experiment with the form and the novel became an important vehicle for expression, unlike the European Romantics who focused mainly on poetry.They also made clever use of symbols to refer to truths or knowledge that exists beyond rationality (合理性).

Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form.Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature.Since the 1950s, however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like.It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial.On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald.
Some commentators declared that the South African born, English professor of philology, J.R.R.Tolkien, was influential in the popularisation of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications—The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings.Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo Saxon myths—particularly Beowulf—it was after his works that the genre began to receive the name “fantasy”.J.R.R.Tolkien’s close friend C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularising the commercial success of the fantasy genre.

Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly.In recent years, the rate of female authors to male authors has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing (超过) the volume of the male ones.
Fantasy has been distinguished from other forms of literature by its style.The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary.In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s (坏人的) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的).Famous fantasy author Raymond E.Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and wrote about what would happen.
