近几十年来，国内外有关玄学和约翰·邓恩(1572-1631)的研究一直是学术界的热门话题，与此有关的论文从不同的侧面多角度地研究了十七世纪的玄学，例如从宗教、诗韵、心理学以及邓恩的爱情观等。令人遗憾的是，我国国内受文学萧条大气候的影响，与此相关的研究也仅仅是口头的“话题”或想法，研究论文却比较鲜见，至于探讨邓恩秉承的文学传统以及对后人的学术作品影响更是凤毛(？)有。本文试从玄学作品本身入手，着重探询邓恩的文学传统。首先，本人认 邓恩的生活阅历对其作品的形成有着举足轻重的作用，约翰邓恩从一个花花公了到圣保罗教堂的教长，其人生痕迹和不可能对他的作品没有触动。从另一方面来看，邓恩是一个天主教徒，然而当时的英国朝廷正在推行国教，对天主教徒加以多方限制，使邓恩一生多次起伏。当今的教材对当时的天王教少有涉猎，因此对邓恩的玄学风格也无法把握、本人同时也意识到在对邓恩做进一步阐述前，应先对“玄学”有一个界定，故本文提供有国外学术界对此术语的理解，在此基础上，文章又对玄学的特色进行了深入探讨，例如悖论在玄学作品中的使用，奇思的形成等；然后又对邓恩诗歌中的意象做了粗浅的解释，特别是其诗歌中频繁出现的“圆”，“地球”等图形和地理符号，希望能对理解玄学诗歌有所裨益。
In recent decades, John Donne (1572-1631) and Metaphysical Poetry have been a hot topic home and broad. Different angles related to his works have been touched upon such as from the points of view of religion, rhyme, psychology and love. Unfortunately elaboration from these angles is quite vague and hard for Chinese students. In China, there have been few essays about Donne, even less about the tradition that Donne inherited and left to the poets of the next centuries. This paper tries to trace the tradition of John Donne. As far as the poetry of John Donne is concerned, it lies squarely within the English tradition. The reader can be positive that Donne was interested in the past both by what he followed and more importantly, by what he rejected and ridiculed. He took some of the Renaissance ideas that had been overused and reinvigorated them. Many of his poems deal with conventional Petrarchan subjects: love, sadness, separation. Yet Donne turns tradition upside-down, or inside-out, by employing the elaborate conceit and by intellectualizing emotion, traits that would become his trademarks. The author, first of all. hopes to touch upon the life of Donne that left great influence upon his writing as he was an apostasy both in his belief and in his works from Jack Donne, the lover of ladies and the theatre, to Dr Donne, the great preacher. He was in the first place a Catholic. Our textbooks make so little of the English Catholics that one is apt to forget they ever existed or justimagine as if Catholic were a merely political problem. The author of the paper also endeavours to present various views on the key word "metaphysics" in order to give further explanation about its characteristics, such as paradox, conceit and wit. Much effort has been laid on the explanation of images in Donne"s poetry in which the author wishes to provide some clues to fully understand the poetry of metaphysical tradition.
