Before the Romantics by Geoffrey Grigson, published in 1946 by Routledge, is a literary study exploring pre-Romantic poetry and thought. Grigson examines the poets and influences that paved the way for the Romantic movement, shedding light on lesser-known figures and themes that shaped 18th-century literature.

Known for his sharp critical eye, Grigson brings a nuanced perspective to the transition between classical traditions and the emergence of Romantic sensibilities. The book is valuable for those interested in literary history, particularly the evolution of poetic expression before the rise of major Romantic poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge.
