1. Transcendentalism:
Transcendentalism is a philosophical and literary movement. It
exalted feeling over reason, individual expression over the restraints of
law and custom. It expressed a new outlook or new ideas on life. It
believed individualism, human beings’ divinity, nature, spiritual life,
dignity of manual labor, self-trust/ self-reliance, democracy. (Emerson,
Henry David Thoreau)
2． Free verse:
"free verse," that is, poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme.
A looser and more open-ended syntactical structure is frequently favored.
Lines and sentences of different lengths are left lying side by side just as
things are, undisturbed and separate. There are few compound sentences
to draw objects and experiences into a system of hierarchy.
3. The Lost Generation:
It refers to, in general, the post-World WarⅠgeneration, but
specifically a group of expatriate disillusioned intellectuals and artists,
who experimented on new modes of thought and expression by rebelling
against former ideals and values and replacing them only by despair or a
cynical hedonism. (Hemingway, Ezra Pound/ The Sun Also Rises)
4. Local Colorism:
“ Local colorism” is a unique variation of American literary realism.
Generally, the works by local colorists are concerned with the life of a
small, well--defined region or province. They worked from personal
experience; they recorded the facts of a unique environment and
suggested that the native life was shaped by the curious conditions of the
loca1e. (Writers whose works are characterized with local colors are
Mark Twain, Sarah Orne Jewett, Joseph Kirkland and Hamlin Garland.)
5. The Hemingway Code Hero:
It refers to some protagonists in Hemingway's works. To behave well in
the lonely, losing battle with life is to show "grace under pressure" and
constitutes in itself a kind of victory, a theme clearly established in The
Old Man and The Sea. Though life is but a losing battle, it is a struggle
man can dominate in such a way that loss becomes dignity; man can be
physical1y destroyed but never defeated spiritually.
6. Iceberg theory:
"The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it
being above water.” Seemingly simple and natural, Hemingway's style is
actually polished and tightly contro1led, but highly suggestive and
connotative. While rendering vividly the outward physical events and
sensations Hemingway expresses the meaning of the story and conveys
the complex emotions of his characters with a considerable range and
astonishing intensity of feeling. (Less is more.)
7. Prose epic:
Moby-dick is regarded as the Great American Novel, the first American
prose epic(散文史诗： a long narrative poem telling of heroic deeds of
reflecting the values of the society from which it originated), though it is
presented in the form of a novel.
