1. Romance（北外2011研）

Key: ①It refers to a fictional story in verse or prose that relates improbable

adventures of idealized characters in some remote or enchanted settings; or,

more generally, a tendency in fiction opposite to that of realism. ②The term now

embraces many forms of fiction from the Gothic novel and the popular escapist

love story to the scientific romances of H.G. Wells, but it usually refers to the tales

of King Arthur’s knights written in the late Middle Ages. ③Medieval romance is

distinguished from epic by its concerning on courtly love rather than warlike

heroism. Later prose romances differ from novels in their preference for allegory

and psychological exploration rather than realistic social observation, especially

in American works like Nathaniel Hawthorne’s

The Blithedale Romance.

2. Arthurian legend

Key: It is a group of tales (in several languages) that developed in the Middle

Ages concerning Arthur, semi-historical king of the Britons and his knights. The

legend is a complex weaving of ancient Celtic mythology with later traditions

around a core of possible historical authenticity.

三、简答题

France”, the “Matter of Rome”, and the “Matter of Britain”.
