Chapter3
The Romantic Period
(1798-1832)
浪漫主义
1.
This
urgency
was
provoked
by
two
important
revolutions:
the
French
Revolution
of
1789-1794
and
the
English
Industrial Revolution which happened
more slowly, but with Astonishing consequences.
英国面临着新的发展动力：一是
1789-1794
< br>年的法国资产阶级大革命，一是同时期英国内部的工业革命。
2.
In 1832, the Reform Bill
was enacted, which brought the Industrial
capitalists into power.1832
年
“
改革法案
”
在议
会通过并实施。
3.
The
Romantic Movement, whether in England, Germany or
France, expressed a more or less negative forward
the
existing social.
浪漫主义运动，无
论是在英国，德国还是法国，都表现相互对工业革命时期现存的社会经济制度及城
市资产
阶级的上升的否定态度。
4.
The
Romantics demonstrated a strong reaction against
the dominant modes of thinking of the 18th-century
writers
and philosophers. Where their
predecessors saw man as a social animal, the
Romantics saw him essentially as an individual
in the solitary state.

18
世纪盛行的文学及哲学基调
---
理性，新古典主义文学家认为人是社会性的动物，
而浪漫主义文
学家认为人应该是独立自由的个体。
5.
Thus, we can say that Romanticism
actually constitutes a change of direction from
attention to the outer world of
social
civilization to the inner world of the human spiri
t.
因此，我们还可以说浪漫主义其实是将人们的注意力从外部世
界
—
社会文明转移到内部世界
---
人类自己的精神实质。
6.
The Romantic period is an age of
