The Rhymers' Club was a gathering of noteworthy male poets, founded in 1890 by W. B. Yeats and Ernest Rhys, who met at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese public house, off Fleet Street, London, to read and criticise each other's work. They were not a coherent movement, as their two volumes of poems show, but more a loose representative group of fin de siècle poets. Notable members included John Davidson, Arthur Symons, and Lionel Johnson.
