The period from 1886 to 1891 was the prosperous period of French Symbolist poetry. Representative works of this period include Mallarmé's "Poetry and Prose", Laphroague's "Flowers of Goodwill" and Rainier's "Interlude". The three leading figures of Symbolism are Mallarmé, Verlaine and Rimbaud. Baudelaire, the author of "The Flowers of Evil", is considered the pioneer (originator) of Symbolism. Symbolists opposed realism and naturalists described objective reality truthfully. They believe that the real material world is illusory and painful, and only the inner world hidden behind it is real. The work uses a large number of hints and symbols to metaphorically express people's inner world. There are many vague and confusing lines in the poem, which are very obscure, and the imagery in the poem is disgusting. Some of Verlaine's poems express extremely profound emotions, such as "Speechless Romance"; Rimbaud's representative works include "Vowels" ("Vowels") and "The Drunken Boat"; Mallarmé's most important work is "Afternoon of the Faun" 》. The ideological and artistic characteristics of Symbolist poets are mysticism, aestheticism and pessimism. Their poems are obscure and hazy. In 1891, Moreas first announced his separation from Symbolism. Many Symbolist poets also developed in the direction of their own choice and no longer followed the same artistic standards of Symbolism. French Symbolism as a school disintegrated in the early 1990s. .
