The Fleshly School of Poetry was a hostile label attached to a group of Victorian poets, especially Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and William Morris, whose writing was criticized for its sensual imagery, aesthetic richness, and emphasis on physical beauty. The phrase is now remembered mainly as a piece of literary controversy rather than a neutral school name.
Example
Critics accused the poets of the Fleshly School of Poetry of caring more about beauty and sensual detail than about moral instruction.
