The 1890s witnessed an explosion of interest in the metaphysical and other seventeenth‐century poets, a fact that warrants further scholarly exploration. This article outlines the background of the revival: the cultural and religious politics that shape mid‐century commentary on the metaphysicals, and Coleridge's marginalia which rehabilitate the poets, especially Donne. It then presents an overview of criticism by Gosse, Symons, Meynell, Thompson, and Johnson, tracing the similarities and differences among aesthetic and decadent visions of the seventeenth century. Finally, it suggests a number of areas for new work on the topic
