约翰逊是玄学派经典化历史上起到重要的双向作用的批评家。从17世纪到18世纪中后期,玄学派的文学地位经历了由鼎盛到衰微的过程。约翰逊的《考利传》首次围绕“巧智”概念较系统地阐述了以考利和多恩为代表的玄学派诗人的才华属性和创作得失:他既批判了玄学派诗歌耽于卖弄学问,难以摹仿人世风俗、触动普通人情感的缺憾,又肯定了“玄学巧智”所蕴含的思想能量和创新潜能。约翰逊的评判成为后世包括T.S.艾略特在内试图恢复玄学派经典地位的批评家所必须面对的权威。
Johnson was a critic who played an important two-way role in the canonist classics. From the 17th century to the mid-18th century, the literary status of the metaphysical school underwent a process of decline from peak to decay. For the first time, Johnson’s “Cowley biography” elaborates the talented attributes and creative gains and losses of the metaphysical poets represented by Cowley and Donne around the concept of “cleverness”: he not only criticized the metaphysical poetry for showing off , It is difficult to imitate the customs of the world, touching the common people’s feelings of shortcomings, but also affirmed the “metaphysical cleverness” implied by the energy and innovative potential. Johnson’s judgment became the authority that critics of later generations, including T.S. Eliot, trying to restore the metaphysical classicism had to face.
