约翰.邓恩是名噪一时的玄学派诗歌的开山鼻祖。他的诗歌在当时曾脍炙人口,对17世纪以本.琼生为代表的骑士派诗歌的繁荣也有一定的贡献。但在随后的18世纪,遭到了当时执文坛牛耳者约翰逊博士的强烈批评。文学具有时代性,是毋庸置疑的事实。所以有“楚之骚,汉之赋,六代之骈文,唐之诗,宋之词,元之曲”。文学与时代血脉相通,所以王国维说:“凡一代有一代之文学”。约翰.邓恩在漫长的文学史进程中所经历的冰火两重天的待遇,这既是时代对文学潜在支配作用的外在显化,也是其诗歌悖理悖俗、独异于世的必然结果。 John Dunne is the foundering originator of the metaphysical poem. His poetry was very popular at that time, and contributed to the prosperity of the knight-errant poems represented by Ben Qiong in the 17th century. However, in the subsequent eighteenth century, he was strongly criticized by Dr. Johnson, then chief justice of the literary world. Literature has the times, is no doubt about the fact. So there is “Chu’s Sao, Han Fu, six generation of prose, Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan song ”. Literature and the era of similarities and differences, so Wang Guowei said: “Every generation has a generation of literature.” John Donne’s experience in the long history of literature and history, which is experiencing the same climate and suffering, is not only the external manifestation of the potential dominating role of the times in literature, but also the inevitable result of his poetry being contrary to the contrary and unique in his own life.
