The Three Wartons, a Choice of Their Verse offers a curated selection of poetry from one of the most influential families in eighteenth-century English letters. Edited by the scholar Eric Partridge, this collection brings together the works of Thomas Warton the Elder and his two sons, Joseph and Thomas Warton the Younger. These poets were pivotal figures in the transition from the strict Neoclassicism of the early 1700s toward the evocative, nature-focused sentiments of the Romantic era.

The volume showcases the diverse stylistic contributions of the Wartons, from the elder Warton's lyrical experimentation to Joseph's critical advocacy for invention and imagination and Thomas the Younger's deep engagement with medievalism and the history of English poetry. Readers will find examples of the Graveyard School influence, a renewed appreciation for the works of Spenser and Milton, and a departure from the heroic couplet in favor of more flexible forms. This collection serves as an essential resource for those interested in the evolution of British verse and the intellectual foundations of the Romantic movement.
