Jane Austen’ s relationship to Romanticism has long been a vexed one. Although her dates (1775-1817) place her squarely within the period, she traditionally has been studied apart from the male poets whose work defined British Romanticism for most of the twentieth century. In the past her novels were thought to follow an Augustan mode at odds with the Romantic ethos. Even with the advent of
historicist and feminist criticism
, which challenged many previous characterizations of Austen as detached from the major social, political and aesthetic currents of her time, she continued to be distinguished from her male contemporaries. Jerome McCann, for example, insists that Austen does not espouse the Romantic ideology. Anne Mellor declares that Austen, along with other “leading women intellectual and writers of the day” “did not”, participate in the Romantic “spirit of the age” but instead embraced an alternative ideology that Mellor labels “
feminine Romanticism
“,
To be sure, some critics throughout the years have argued for Austen’s affinities with one or more of the male Romantic poets. A special issue of the Wordsworth Circle (Autumn 1976)was devoted to exploring connections between Austen and her male contemporaries. Clifford Siskin in his historicist study of Romanticism argued that Austen does participate in the same major innovation, the naturalization of belief in a developing self, as that characterized in Wordsworth’s poetry and other key works from the period. Recently, three books have appeared (by Clara Tuite, William Galperin, and William Deresiewicz) that in various ways treat Austen as a Romantic writer and together signal a shift in the tendency to segregate the major novelist of the age from the major poets.
The present essay seeks to contribute to this goal of firmly integrating Austen within the Romantic movement and canon. It does so by pointing out affinities between Austen and a writer with whom she has not commonly been associated, John Keats. Most comparisons of Austen and the Romantic poets have focused on Wordsworth and Byron, whose works we know she read. Although Austen could not have read Keats’ s poems, which only began to appear in print during the last years of her life, and there is no evidence that Keats knew Austen’ s novels, a number of important similarities can be noted in these writers’ works that provide further evidence to link Austen with the Romantic movement, especially the period of second-generation Romanticism when all of her novels were published.
According to the passage, compared to critics trained in “historicist and feminist criticism” (highlighted) earlier critics of Austen were
选项
A、more likely to represent her as isolated from the major intellectual currents of her period
B、more likely to represent her as departing from Augustan modes of thought
C、more likely to find connections between her novels and Romantic poetry
D、less likely to neglect the influence of Romantic ideology on her work
E、less likely to notice affinities between Austen and her female counterparts
答案
A
解析
对应第四句Even with the advent of historicist and feminist criticism, which challenged many previous characterizations of Austen as detached from the major social…。题干中的earlier critics指的是定位句的previous characterizations。历史主义者批判了之前的研究者认为简.奥斯汀背离主流的观点,因此之前的研究者更会认为简.奥斯汀背离主流,所以选项A正确。B项表述相反,奥古斯都模式对应非浪漫,而earlier critics也认为简.奥斯汀非浪漫。C项文中未提及。D项文中未提及。E项文中未提及。
