Trade paperback. Award-winning biography of the first modern voice in English poetry. Rumoured lover of Anne Boleyn and devoted 'slave' of Katherine of Aragon, ambassador to Charles V, and imprisoned in The Tower twice, his story reveals the secret and capricious world of Henry VIII's court.
Thomas Wyatt (1503?-1542) was the first modern voice in English poetry. At Henry VIII's court, where only silence brought safety, Wyatt played the idealized lover, but also tried to speak truth to power. Wyatt's life provides a way to examine the Renaissance and Reformation in England.
