Selected Poems - Softcover

Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542) 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 passionate and vulnerable poems. This book contains a representative selection of his works. Hardiman Scott sees Wyatt as a modern poet before his time and demonstrates the impact he 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.
