Answer 1

1. sonnet:
The sonnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in lyric poetry from Europe. The term "sonnet" derives from the Occitan word sonet and the Italian word sonetto, both meaning "little song". By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure.
代表人物：One of the best-known sonnet writers is William Shakespeare, who wrote 154 of them (not including those that appear in his plays).

2. epic:
An epic (from Greek: ἔπος "word, story, poem"[1]) is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation.

代表人物：Homer

3. neo-classicism
Neoclassicism (sometimes rendered as Neo-Classicism or Neo-classicism) is the name given to quite distinct movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that draw upon Western classical art and culture (usually that of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome). These movements were dominant during the mid 18th to the end of the 19th century.
代表人物： T. S. Eliot， Wyndham Lewis

4. romantic
(of music, literature, etc) marked by feeling rather than intellect; preferring wild nature, passion, etc to order and proportion
代表人物： William Wordsworth， Samuel Taylor Coleridge

5. Renaissance
(period of the) revival of art and literature in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, based on classical forms.
代表人物： Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) and Francesco Petrarca (1304–1374)

6. humanism
1) a rationalistic system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. 2) a Renaissance cultural movement that turned away from medieval scholasticism and revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought.

7. metaphysical poetry
The metaphysical poets were a loose group of British lyric poets of the 17th century, who shared an interest in metaphysical concerns and a common way of investigating them, and whose work was characterized by inventiveness of metaphor (these involved comparisons being known as metaphysical conceits). These poets were not formally affiliated; most of them did not even know or read each other. Their poetry was influenced greatly by the changing times, new sciences and the new found debauched scene of the 17th century.
代表人物：George Chapman (c. 1559–1634)，John Donne (1572–1631)
