4.我是初二的一名学生,不喜欢看课外书,怎么办啊
看散文佳句可以从《萌芽》、《读者》、《青年文摘》开始啊！这些越看越喜欢的。我当时就是这么过来的。
看小说的话从自己的爱好出发啊！没有爱好就培养啊。男生的话先去看点武侠小说……比如金庸的或是现在比较流行的网络玄幻小说啊。不过网上的书良莠不齐，比较杂。建议楼主先从《诛仙》开始好了。
当然楼主要是对名著感兴趣那就最好了。可以去图书馆随手借几本来品味一下。
楼主实在没兴趣的话可以看日本的动漫，比如《火影忍者》、《死神》……但要小心上瘾，否则就过犹不及了！

6.急要有关英美文学方面的知识
英国文学 一、中世纪文学 古英语文学 英格兰岛的早期居民凯尔特人和其他部族，没有留下书面文学作品。
5世纪时，原住北欧的三个日耳曼部落——盎格鲁、撒克逊和朱特——侵入英国，他们的史诗《贝奥武甫》传了下来。诗中的英雄贝奥武甫杀巨魔、斗毒龙，并在征服这些自然界恶势力的过程中为民捐躯。
它的背景和情节是北欧的，但掺有基督教成分，显示出史诗曾几经修改，已非原貌。按照保存在一部10世纪的手抄本里的版本来看，诗的结构完整，写法生动，所用的头韵、重读字和代称体现了古英语诗歌的特色。
6世纪末，基督教传入英国，出现了宗教文学。僧侣们用拉丁文写书，其中比德所著的《英国人民宗教史》（731年完成）既有难得的史实，又有富于哲理的传说，受到推崇，并译成了英文。
此后，丹麦人入侵，不少寺院毁于兵火，学术凋零。9世纪末，韦塞克斯国王阿尔弗雷德大力抗丹，同时着手振兴学术，请了一批学者将拉丁文著作译为英文，并鼓励编写《盎格鲁—撒克逊编年史》，这是用英国当地语言写史的开始。
中古英语文学 1066年诺曼人入侵，带来了欧洲大陆的封建制度，也带来了一批说法语的贵族。古英语受到了统治阶层语言的影响，本身也在起着变化，12世纪后发展为中古英语。
文学上也出现了新风尚，盛行用韵文写的骑士传奇，它们歌颂对领主的忠和对高贵妇人的爱，其中艺术性高的有《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》。它用头韵体诗写成，内容是古代亚瑟王属下一个“圆桌骑士”的奇遇。
14世纪后半叶，中古英语文学达到了高峰。这时期的重要诗人乔叟的创作历程，从早期对法国和意大利作品的仿效，进到后来英国本色的写实，表明了英国文学的自信。
他的杰作《坎特伯雷故事集》用优美、活泼的韵文，描写了一群去坎特伯雷朝圣的人的神态言谈；他们来自不同阶层和行业，各人所讲的故事或雅或俗，揭示了多方面的社会现实。同时，还有教会小职员兰格伦写的头韵体长诗《农夫皮尔斯》（一译《农夫彼得之梦》），用梦幻的形式和寓意的象征，写出了1381年农民暴动前后的农村现实，笔锋常带严峻的是非之感。
同样宣泄下层人民情绪的还有民间歌谣，它们往往是在长时间的口头流传之后才写定的，其中最初见于15世纪抄本的罗宾汉歌谣，描绘了一群农民劫富济贫、打击教会僧侣和执法吏的事迹，传诵至今。 二、文艺复兴时期文学 16世纪，由于新航路发现后海外贸易发达，英国国力逐渐充实，民族主义高涨，1588年一举击败大陆强国西班牙派来入侵的“无敌舰队”。
文化上也出现了一个活动频繁、佳作竞出的文艺复兴局面。 一如在14世纪的意大利，文艺复兴在英国是以重新发现希腊、罗马的古典文化开始的。
大学里恢复了古希腊语的教学，接着出现了规模宏大的翻译活动，众多的学者、作家将古代希腊、罗马和近代意、法等国的学术和文学名著译成了早期近代英语。哲学家、教育家、历史家、政治家、宗教人士纷纷从事著述，用不同方式表达了人文主义思想，其中有托马斯•莫尔用拉丁文写的《乌托邦》（1516）。
这部作品借一个旅行者谈海外见闻的方式，描绘了一个没有私有制和宗教压迫而崇尚学术的理想社会，而对为了能多产羊毛而大规模圈地、迫使贫苦农民流离失所的“羊吃人”的现实英国作了有力的谴责。 诗歌创作空前活跃，大批诗集出版，开一时风气的重要诗选也陆续问世，其中《杂集》（1557）发表了华埃特和萨里两人对于意大利十四行诗的仿作，使这一诗体在英国生根。
到了90年代，锡德尼等著名诗人都出版了十四行诗集，虽然仍以歌颂爱情为主，却能突破旧格局而注入新内容。比十四行更重要的还有其他诗体，或抒情，或叙事，或讽刺，或探讨哲理，都有出色的代表作家，而成就最大的则数斯宾塞。
他的主要作品《仙后》（1590~1596）规模宏大，内容丰富，利用中古骑士传奇的体裁，以寓言为主要手法，在精神上却反对天主教而歌颂作为英国民族象征的伊丽莎白女王，传达了正在兴起的清教主义的严峻的道德观，并且出之以优美而多变的韵文，使得斯宾塞不仅独步当时诗坛，而且成为后世讲究诗艺的作家所仰慕的“诗人的诗人”。 诗歌的成就还包括无韵体诗在剧本里的成功运用。
诗同剧的结合产生了这一时期文学最骄傲的成果：诗剧。从16世纪80年代起，诗剧作者们摆脱了中古神秘剧、奇迹剧、道德剧的宗教色彩和粗糙技巧，建立了一种生气勃勃的新戏剧，敏锐、强烈地表达了时代精神，在艺术上作了多方面的大胆创新。
第一个成功地使无韵体诗变成戏剧媒介的是马洛。他用“壮丽的诗句”写壮丽的人物，如《帖木儿》（1590）中的中亚大帝国的创立者和《浮士德博士的悲剧》（1604）中的追求无限知识的德国博士，同时又在《爱德华二世》（1594）里将一个国王的遭遇写成了英国第一个历史剧。
马洛早死，但是诗剧继续成长，经过基德、格林、查普曼、德克、米德尔顿、马斯顿、海伍德等人的创作实践，题材扩大，技巧更趋成熟，至莎士比亚而集大成。 莎士比亚是演员和剧作家，一生写了37部剧本。
他博采众长而又自有创造，在历史剧、喜剧、悲剧、传奇剧各方面都写出了杰作。他。
