Few great American writers resist classification into eras, styles, and schools to the extent that nineteenth century poet Emily Dickinson does. While some readers cite her recurrent themes of nature and death in order to pigeonhole her work in the Romantic era that coincided with the years of her short life, others want to associate her with the end of Puritanism or the emergence of new, distinctly American, or even feminine, voices. Still others become mired in psychological interpretations related to the poet’s reclusive life. Yet, each characterization of this unique poet is, as Dickinson once wrote of a fly, a kind of “uncertain stumbling Buzz.” Dickinson’s poetry seems simultaneously behind, anchored in, and ahead of her time.

Much has been made of how Dickinson’s meter replicates the meter of Protestant hymns, especially those of Isaac Watts, who composed in the early 1700s. Her punctuation and capitalization, so bizarre by modern standards, reflects what she learned at the local Mount Holyoke Female Seminary and, to some degree, letter-writing conventions of her time. Her many uses of weapon imagery are consistent with the Civil War that raged during one of the most prolific eras of her output. Yet, the treatment of her themes is sometimes wholly modern, as when she dispenses with the grand gestures of death, God, and eternity to elevate the arrival of a fly. Indeed, there is a peculiarly modernist sensibility at work in a poet who interrupts death with the irritating buzz of a filthy pest, especially in an era that set so much store by the dignity of final words and parting gestures. There is even a kind of modern minimalism to Dickinson, who works single words and single marks of punctuation harder than any farmer ever worked a farm animal in a field. But no matter how she reaped or how she sowed, her work, like the effects of the speaker in “I heard a Fly buzz—when I died—,” is not wholly “Assignable.”

1. All of the following are mentioned in the passage as characteristics of Dickinson’s work EXCEPT:
(A) unexpected punctuation.
(B) arms imagery.
(C) muted naturalism.
(D) unorthodox capitalization.
(E) modernist tendencies.


2. Which of the following statements can most reason ably be inferred from the passage?
(A) “I heard a Fly buzz—when I died” is Dickinson’s best known poem.
(B) Words in a Dickinson poem typically evoke a multiplicity of meaning.
(C) Dickinson sought to preserve the punctuation patterns of literary correspondence of her day.
(D) Dickinson’s copying of the meter of Christian hymns has contributed to her reputation as a less than original poet.
(E) The categorization of poets into specific schools, styles, and eras is typically misguided.


3. The author intersperses quotations from Dickinson’s work in order to
(A) illustrate the scope and variety of Dickinson’s major themes.
(B) contrast selected word choices with the Puritanism with which Dickinson is sometimes associated.
(C) compare selected word choices with minimalist expressions in modern poetry.
(D) exemplify the bizarre punctuation and capitalization that characterize Dickinson’s work.
(E) provide telling bits of poetic evidence that help present and prove the writer’s thesis.


4. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
(A) Historical influences from Protestant hymns to Puritanism to the Civil War combine to define Dickinson’s poetry.
(B) Dickinson is at the height of her powers when she reverses traditional expectations for poetry.
(C) To interpret Dickinson’s work along narrowly psychological lines is patently wrong.
(D) Dickinson’s work is a label-defying mix of what Dickinson knew and the new ground that she broke.
(E) Although Dickinson’s work has been called “feminist,” Romantic is a more apt label for the work

文章结构
提出观点1——举反例——否定反例——提出观点2——举例说明1.2.3.4.5——观点3(加强观点1)
文章内容:
观点1:艾米丽拒绝被分类——人们尝试艾米丽分到浪漫主义时代、女性主义、心理学领域——这些分类都不成立+对应引用“微妙起伏的嗡嗡声音”(我自己的理解是前面那些分类都是屁话)——观点2:艾米丽诗歌在她的的时代同时具有超前性和落后性(艾米丽作品特点总结)——举例说明总特点:1.现代标准下怪异的标点符号(解释Behind)2现代标准下怪异的字母大写(behind)3使用武器意向4现代化的处理主题方式(ahead)5现代主义极简主义(ahead)——总结:无论怎么样,她的作品并不是刻意完全被理解(无法被准确分类)
作者态度:
主要想介绍艾米丽这个诗人的作品特点,通过先提出一个观点“艾米丽作品无法被分类”,然后从艾米丽作品本身的特点入手解释为什么无法被分类(behind+ahead)。
反思
-介绍文学和作者的文章一般有一些难度,我认为主要难在专业词汇以及文学引用(比如这里的苍蝇嗡嗡声的意象),同时这类文章的错误答案都错得非常明显(与原文所说完全相反或者并非原文中内容),所以如果做题时发现无法迅速锁定正确答案可以通过排除法。
-另一方面我认为这类文章把握结构比把握内容更重要,比如这篇文章的主要目的其实就是介绍艾米丽诗歌作品的特点,但是作者没有用直白简单分总结构(艾米丽作品特点12345+特点总结);而是先提出自己对艾米丽诗歌的看法(无法被分类)——无法被分类的主要原因(艾米丽诗歌总特点:behind+ahead)——艾米丽诗歌具体特点(从时代流派解释具体特点12345)——总结不能被分类:因为不能被完全理解(引用一段很多人不理解的艾米丽诗歌)。在作者这种介绍中读者不仅可以更深入了解艾米丽诗歌特点,还可以在引用中切实体会为什么说“assignable”。
-通过对上面结构的把握,再来分析题目更容易。第一题是细节题,只要找出对应的具体特点就可以,当时误选A是因为自己脑补:艾米丽作品被归入romantic,又有自然的主题,那肯定是muted,但是从结构上就可以知道这里是“其他人尝试归类艾米丽作品”反例部分,后面已经被否定,所以只有关于自然和死亡的主题是真,是不是romantic这个不好说,所以不能联想到muted,客观来说排除法其他都提到,只有这C没有明确提到。当时认为A选项的unexpected原文没有提到,也是因为不认识bizarre,但是从结构上来说,前面既然已经说了总特点(behind+ahead),后面肯定也是关于怎么behind和ahead,猜测也可以把这个题猜出来。第2题也是从全文结构把握,多重意义不就是(具体特点12345),内容上可以从解释“用苍蝇打断死亡”那里看出,即苍蝇是意象描述。第3题:我觉得作者的引用的最根本目的就是用艾米丽作品本身去对应喝酒解释其特点是最有说服力——从结构上来说作者的观点开头给出,全篇目的解释艾米丽作品的特点。最后一题对应“behind+ahead”
