Sir Thomas Wyatt, "the first great English lyric poet", remains one
of the most popular writer's of Henry VIII's court, and the most
romantic, given his entanglement with Anne Boleyn, which resulted -
legend has it - in some of his most passionate and vulnerable
poems. This book contains a representative selection of his work:
all the best-loved poems and many lesser-known pieces which
illuminate a complex and sophisticated sensibility. Hardiman Scott
sees Wyatt as a modern poet before his time and demonstrates the
impact he and his younger contemporary the Earl of Surrey had on
the development of English poetry. Wyatt introduced the sonnet,
terza rima and other Italian verse forms into English and invented
forms and processes of his own. Hardiman Scott's introduction and
notes illuminate Wyatt's importance as "a modern poet before his
time", "at a crossroads in English poetry", and provides a detailed
outline of the social and literary context in which Wyatt worked
and the impact he had on the development of English poetry.
