Early Sixteenth Century Lyrics

0/5 ( ratings)

Thomas Wyatt the elder and Henry Earl of Surrey were leading lights of English poetry in the early renaissance period. They had both traveled in Italy and France, both admired the work of Petrarch, and both produced translations and adaptations of Petrarch's poems. Through their work they were responsible for the introduction and development of the sonnet form into English poetry.

Accompanying the poems of Wyatt and Surrey is a section of "miscellaneous" poets - these include George Buleyn, W Cornysh, Nicholas Grimoald, Guido Guinicelli, Rychard Hattfield, Henry VIII, John Heywood, Anthony Lee, Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas Phelyppis and Edwarde Somerset.

In preparing this book, Padelford went back to the original sources to make fresh transcriptions. Each poem is followed by variant readings which had previously appeared, for example in Tottel's Miscellany. There are extensive notes, including biographies of Wyatt and Surrey, a glossary and a bibliography.

Revised 2017 to correct proofing errors.
