英美文学选读教案之一 　　 这是我这学期上课的教案,自己觉的参考价值不像文学史教案那么高,但是也更新上来吧,对我的学生来说,上课有笔记没记上的也可以参考,我选用的教材是中国对外翻译出版公司出版的《英美文学选读（增订版）》吴翔林编注。Lecture1WilliamShakespeare1.Introductionofthecourse(1)ThiscourseiscalledSelectedReadingsinEnglishandAmericanLiterature,apulsorycourseforyou.Itwillbefinishedin12weeks.Andineachweekwe’llmeeteachothertwotimes.(2)Inthiscourse,youwillhavetoreadsomeoriginalworkstakenfromEnglishandAmericanclassics.Itmaybealittlebitdifficultforyou.However,it’salsoachanceforyoutoknowsomegreattreasuryinworldliteratureandI’llhelpyouunderstandthem.(3)Comparingwiththeliteraryhistorycourses,thiscoursemainlyfocusesonoriginalproductions.Thecoursebookisaniceonewithclassicalworksanddetailednotes.(4)Forthefinaltest,10%willbedecidedbyyourattendance,20%byyourhomeworkand70%bythetestpaper.Aboutthehomework,afterwefinisheachwriter,I’llgiveyouanamelistofremendedworkswrittenbythewriter.Inthewholesemester,youshouldchooseatleastonepieceofEnglishwriter’sworksandonepieceofAmericanwriter’sworksremendedbyme.Andthenyoushouldwriteasmallpaperonthepieceofworksyouchose.Thatmeansyoushouldturnintwopapersinthewholesemester.(5)Averyimportantsuggestion:previewtheproductionsbeforetheclass;otherwiseit’llbeverydifficultforyoutocatchmeintheclass.2.WilliamShakespeare(1564–1616)(1)HistoricalBackgroundA.QueenElizabethI:apowerfulEnglandwiththefastdevelopmentofcapitalismB.Renaissance:anintellectualmovementsprungfirstinItalyinthe14thcenturyandgraduallyspreadalloverEurope.Twofeaturesarestrikingofthismovement.Theoneisathirstingcuriosityfortheclassicalliterature.Anotheristhehumanism,whichmeansthenewfeelingofadmirationforhumanbeautyandhumanachievement.C.ShakespearelivedinsuchaperiodandalsosuchaperiodmadehimthemostfamousandmostimportantEnglishwriter.(2)Life(Readparagraph1and2onpage1afterclass.Thesetwoparagraphsaretheintroductionofthegreatwriter’slife.)A.Hispleteworksinclude37plays,2narrativepoemsand154sons.B.Heismainlyfamousforhisgreatplays,especiallytheoutstanding“FourGreatTragedies”.(“Hamlet”,“KingLear”,“Othello”and“Macbet
