Life and Letters of Sir Thomas Wyatt
Great interest has been stimulated in Wyatt's life and work by the author's remarkable discovery of his unpublished poems in the Blage manuscript, and their publication in 1961. This book contains all Wyatt's letters, a full biography, and a study of his poems. It should be of value to historians as well as to students of literary history. -- Publisher's description.

Thomas Wyatt
Thomas Wyatt (1503?-1542) was the first modern voice in English poetry. 'Chieftain' of a 'new company of courtly makers', he brought the Italian poetic Renaissance to England, but he was also revered as prophet-poet of the Reformation. His poetry holds a mirror to the secret, capricious world of Henry VIII's court, and alludes darkly to events which it might be death to describe.

The Canon of Sir Thomas Wyatt's Poetry
Thomas Wyatt is the finest English poet between Chaucer and the Elizabethans. Many poems have been wrongly attributed to him, however, and the authenticity of different versions of his lyrics has been a matter of dispute.

The only solid foundation for the Wyatt canon is his personal copybook, the Egerton MS, here reproduced in a diplomatic text. The apparatus records all changes within the manuscript and all contemporary variants; explanatory notes are provided. This volume, which includes a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the sources, will stand as the ultimate authority for the text and canon of Wyatt's poems.
