Thomas Wyatt Paperback / softback

Edited by Alice Oswald, Alice Oswald

Part of the Poet to Poet series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past.

By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets of our literature.

Sir Thomas Wyatt was born in Kent in 1503 and educated at St John's College, Cambridge.

He served Henry VIII as a diplomat in Europe but was imprisoned and almost executed for his close relationship with Anne Boleyn.

On his release, Wyatt became Sheriff of Kent and later Ambassador to Spain, and died 1542 from a fever caught on a diplomatic mission.
