[摘要]在中英文学史上都出现过玄学诗，虽两者都冠之以“玄”，但两者之“玄”却相差悬殊。前者，玄于内，后者，玄于外。正是基于此，才使得中英玄学诗在不同国度却命运反差很大。本文将通过中西方宗教文化背景的差异、后世文化领袖认识的差异、后人传承能力的差异三个方面来比较研究两者命运反差之大的成因。

中英玄学诗的诞生经历与她们的命运发展历程有很多相似的地方，首先，中英玄学诗歌产生的历史背景上有相似之处，如二者都诞生在各自国家社会动乱时期。其次，中英玄学诗的命运起初也是相似的，都因不合传统而遭到冷遇。然而英国玄学诗经过一段时间的沉寂之后在20世纪的英国文坛东山再起，并且被标榜为英国文学中的经典。而魏晋玄言诗虽然开创一代之文学，风靡魏晋百年，但在历经中国文坛数千年的发展之后却最终于却落了个“冷冷清清、凄凄惨惨凄凄” [1]的悲凉境地。
为何同样冠名以“玄”的玄学诗歌在不同国度的命运反差如此之大呢？通过仔细研读中西方的玄学诗，从比较的角度研究英国玄学诗和魏晋玄言诗这两种不同国别、不同文化形态下诞生的不同诗歌形式，再由“玄”这一形而上的概念交汇点出发，本文将通过以下三个方面寻到答案。
