在文学史上，Della cruscanism主要与1787年至1791年间英国诗歌中爆发的不良品味有关，罗伯特·梅里（Robert Merry）对此负有责任。它的名字来源于笔名“德拉·克鲁西卡”，这个笔名是梅里在1787年至1789年期间与汉娜·考利夫人（她署名为“安娜·玛蒂尔达”）和其他女士在世界各地进行的诗意通信中使用的。它是多情的最高级、酒神的撇号、满是华丽形容词的自命不凡的装饰和一种令人陶醉的浪漫主义的混合物，完全缺乏拜伦和雪莱后来在处理类似主题的浪漫主义诗歌中所达到的相对有纪律的艺术。这种夸夸其谈的情绪在英国被威廉·吉福德制止了，他在《巴维亚德》（1791年）和《梅维亚德》（1795年）中进行的讽刺攻击，使梅里从此被打上了诗人的烙印。
Della cruscanism has been primarily associated in literary history with a rash of bad taste which broke out in English poetry between 1787 and 1791 and for which Robert Merry was held responsible. It took its name from the pseudonym “Della Crusca” which Merry used in a poetical correspondence carried on in the World between 1787 and 1789 with Mrs. Hannah Cowley, who signed herself “Anna Matilda,” and other ladies. It was a compound of amorous superlatives, dithyrambic apostrophes, pretentious ornament overflowing in flowery epithets, and a heady romanticism completely lacking the comparatively disciplined artistry which Byron and Shelley were later to achieve in Romantic poetry dealing with similar themes. This flood of bombastic sentiment was stemmed in England by William Gifford, whose satirical onslaughts in the Baviad (1791) and the Maeviad (1795) have left Merry branded as a mere poetaster ever since.
