Mark twain\ Benjamin Franklin \ Francis bacon\ William Shakespeare\ Shelley
Most Americans think that Mark Twain is a very famous and great writer, a literary giant of American. He described Huck Finn’s idyllic cruise through eternal boyhood and Tom Sawyer’s endless summer of freedom and adventure. Therefore, this nation’s best-loved writer was every bit as adventurous, patriotic, romantic, and humorous as anyone has ever imagined. Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He adopted his pen name from the cry heard in his steamboat days, signaling two fathoms of water—a navigable depth. His popularity is attested by the fact that more than a score of his books remain in print, and translations are still read around the world. Mark Twain created many excellent creations in his life. Such as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, The Innocent Abroad, The Glided Age, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Life on the Mississippi, The Adventures of Harley berry Fin, The Man That Corrupted Hadley burg, the mysterious strange and his autobiography. He worked for realism and he dealt largely with the lower class of society. He wrote in one of his letters, “to help cultivate the cultivated classes.” He preferred to represent social life through portraits of local places which he knew best. He drew heavily from his own rich fund of knowledge of people and places. One of his significant contributions to American literature lies in the fact that he made colloquial speech an accepted, respectable literary medium in the literary history of the country.
Benjamin Franklin came from a very simple Calvinist background. He was born in a poor candle-maker’s family---“poor and obscure” as he says of himself in his autobiography. As he was a greedy reader, however, he managed to make up for the deficiency by his own effort. Franklin’s public career began in the early 1750s. He wrote a good deal of writing to support the colonies in their disputes with Britain. During the War of Independence, he was made a delegate to the continental congress and a member of the committee to write the Declaration of Independence. Franklin was a rare genius in human history. Nature seemed particularly abundant and happy when he was shaped. His claim to a place in literature rests chiefly on his poor Richard’s almanac and autobiography. For almost a quarter of a century he kept publishing poor Richard’s almanac, expanding its literary part to the intense delight of its readers. The autobiography of Benjamin Franklin was probably the first of its kind in literature. The book consists of four parts, written at different times. The autobiography is, first of all, a puritan document. And second, it is also a powerful explanation of the fact that Franklin was spokesman for the new order of eighteenth-century enlightenment, and that he represented in America all its ideas, that man is basically good and free by nature, endowed by god with certain undeniable rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Francis bacon is the first important English essayist, is best known for his essays which greatly influenced the development of this literary form. He is the founder of English materialist philosophy. And he is also the founder of modern science in England. His writings paved the way for the use of scientific method. Thus, he is undoubtedly one of the representatives of the English renaissance. He had planned a vast work, of which only fragments were written. It began with a survey of the accomplishments of science up to his time and an examination of the reasons why it has not achieved more. The English version of this part forms his Advancement of Learning. Then followed his New Instrument, a statement of what is called the inductive method of reasoning. Next he planned a comprehensive collection of the facts of nature, to which the “new instrument” was to be applied. Bacon is also famous for his “Essays”. He created 58 essays. These essays cover a wide variety of subjects, such as love, truth, friendship, parents and children, beauty, studies, riches, youth and age, and many others. They have won popularity for their clearness, brevity and force. Many of his sentences have become wise old sayings—“Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark.” “Studies serve for delight.” “Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man”

His dramatic career is divided into four periods. At the first period, he wrote historical plays such as Henry VI, Richard III, varieties of comedy, the revenge tragedy, and the very famous romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. In these years he also wrote two narrative poems. The second period of Shakespeare’s work is his mature period, mainly a period of great comedies and mature historical plays. It includes 4 comedies and 5 historical plays. The comedies are a midsummer night’s dream, the merchant of Venice, much ado about nothing, as you like it, twelfth night. At this time, he created roman tragedy Julius Caesar. His sonnets are also thought to be written in this period. The third period of Shakespeare’s dramatic career is mainly the period of great tragedies and dark comedies. It includes 4 tragedies hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth.

The popularity of Shakespeare is a worldwide phenomenon. His name has been known to china for more a hundred years, and many of his plays have been widely read among Chinese people.

Shelley is an intense and original lyrical poet in the English language. His poems are full of classical and mythological allusions. His style abounds in personification and metaphor and other figures of speech. He describes vividly what we see and feel, or expressed what passionately moves us. Before he was 18, he had written two romances and published a collection of poems, in which he glorified freedom, exposed tyranny and expressed his sympathy for the oppressed. He wrote and published an anti-religious pamphlet the necessity of atheism, believing that religion was an instrument of oppression. At the time of the English government was applying the threat of capital punishment to suppress the working-class movements and progressive publications, he wrote his first important poem queen Mab. By 1818 Shelley had completed an important work, the revolt of Islam. And the next year was a great year in his literary career because in that year he wrote his famous lyrical drama Prometheus unbound. Shelley’s political lyrics are among the best of their kind in the whole field of European romantic poetry. He was the first poet in Europe who sang for the working class. Shelley’s short poems on nature and love occupy a very important place in his literary career. To him, nature exists as an unseen life of the universe, and his love of nature is almost boundless. I like his ode to the west wind best because it is so beautiful and powerful. It can bring the hope of new life to the people.
