int, Hemingway made the reading of a text approximate the actual experience as closely as possible. Hemingway was also deeply concerned with authenticity in writing. He believed that a writer could treat a subject honestly only if the writer had participated in or observed the subject closely. Without such knowledge the writer39。s work would be flawed because the reader would sense the author39。s lack of expertise. In addition, Hemingway believed that an author writing about a familiar subject is able to write sparingly(保守的) and eliminate a great deal of superfluous detail from the piece without sacrificing the voice of authority. Hemingway39。s stylistic influence on American writers has been enormous. The success of his plain style in expressing basic, yet deeply felt, emotions contributed to the decline of the elaborate Victorianera prose that characterized a great deal of American writing in the early 20th century.) a brief Introduction of Biography of Edwin Robinson amp。 his writings.(答案:American poet, best known for his poems set in Tilbury Town, an imaginary New England village modeled after Gardiner, Maine, his childhood home. Born in Head Tide, Maine, Robinson was educated at Harvard University. His first volumes of poetry, The Torrent and the Night Before (1896) and The Children of the Night (1897), contain psychological portraits of the townspeople of Tilbury, whose inner depths of character are presented with acute understanding and irony. In 1899 Robinson moved to New York City, where his volume Captain Craig and Other Poems (1902) attracted little interest. In 1905, however, this work was favorably reviewed by President Theodore Roosevelt, and thereafter Robinson39。s poetry received more attention.Robinson39。s book Town Down the River (1910) contains additional character portraits, notably that of Miniver Cheevy, a romantic in love with the past who consoles himself through drunkenness. Robinson achieved his first major success with The Man Against the Sky (1916), which was concerned with the limited nature of humanity. He also posed a trilogy of narrative poems—Merlin (隼)(1917), Lancelot {蘭斯洛特(亞瑟王圓桌武士中的第一位勇士)}(1920), and Tristram (1927。 Pulitzer Prize, 1928)—based on Arthurian legend. His other works include Collected Poems (1921。 Pulitzer Prize, 1922), Roman Bartholow (1923), The Man Who Died Twice (1924。 Pulitzer Prize, 1925), and Matthias at the Door (1931).

What is the use of displaced chronology in the story?(答案: Although Emily is clearly insane and her actions grotesque, she is not portrayed as an isolated feak with no relation to human beings in general, or her munity in particular. This is largely due to the narrator who unquestionably speaks for the munity. Miss Emily, though a recluse, does not act in a social or moral vacumm, all that she does is observed , surmised and reacted to by the munity as represented through the narrator, and therefore she is inevitably linked to it and forms part of it. In addition, we are aware of various subgroups and generations within the munity partly because of the contradictory ways in which Emily is described.Faulker’s handling of time in this story is also noteworthy. The displaced chronology undoubtedly allows the narrator to tell the story in the most dramatic way also fill in useful background details, but it is also a way in which one of the themesthe relation of the individual and his actions to the past, present and futurecan be illustrated and reinforced by the structure of the story itself.)6 What is the idea of Lost Generation?
