In 1884, Paul Verlaine (1844-1896) coined the term "Les Poetes maudit," or, "The Cursed Poets" which would later be used as the title to a collection of articles he published in 1888. Verlaine used the term in reference to a group of French poets (including himself) who were social outcasts and largely ignored by critics. These poets, such as Stephane Mallarme and Arthur Rimbaud, worked with more mystical and metaphorical approaches to language that differed from the Naturalist, Romantic and Realist literary movements that were of great influence at the time. Verlaine’s analysis and positive critique of these poets coincided with the recognition of the Symbolist movement in literature. His commentary and promotion was a large influence on the wider circulation of Symbolist poetry throughout the Western world and inspired many later poets such as T.S. Eliot.
