Washington Irving was America’ s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. (76)
The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.
Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans." (77)
England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford—an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation—and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature.
America made him ambassador to Spain.
Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.
What is implied by the mention of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?
选项
A、Irving enjoyed great popular admiration.
B、Scott, Poe and Hawthorne were primarily responsible for Irving’ s success.
C、Irving’ s work was net only popular, but also of high literary quality.
D、More Americans than Britons admired Irving.
答案
C
解析
句意理解题。这句提到的Scott,Poe和Hawthorne都是当时英国和美国最有名的作家,欧文的作品受到了他们的称赞,可以证明其作品具有很高文学艺术性。所以选C。
