	Sir Thomas Wyat (Poet) - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		WYAT, SIR THOMAS (1503-1542), English poet and statesman, elder son of Henry Wyat, or Wiat, afterwards knighted, and his wife Anne, daughter of John Skinner of Reigate, Surrey, was born at Allington Castle, near Maidstone, Kent, in 1503.
		His son, Thomas Wyat, was admitted at St John's College, Cambridge, when about twelve years of age, took his B.A. degree in 1518, and proceeded M.A. in 1522.
		The marriage was an unhappy one, for a letter (29th March 1537) from the lady's brother to Thomas Cromwell complains that Wyat had gone abroad and made no provision for his wife, and a letter from the Spanish ambassador Chapuys to Charles V.

	Wyatt, Sir Thomas ca. Criticism and Essays
		Wyatt's private life, filled with discord due to his public position on the king's court and his personal relations which often defied the moral judgement of England at that time, became the center of his poetry.
		Wyatt's younger contemporary, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was held in greater esteem for his developed use of the Renaissance style, but it is Wyatt's rough meter and his experiments with form that have earned him recognition in this century as the more original and complex of the two poets.
		Wyatt's role in the courts, first in Henry's and then in the early Tudor, in addition to his personal work as a representative of the progressive poetry of his time, have ensured him a place in the history of English literature.

	Thomas WYATT, The elder (Sir)
		Cromwell knew that Wyatt was acquainted with at least one member of the Marquis of Exeter’s household, Elizabeth Darrell, who had already been forced to give evidence, and who had mentioned Wyatt’s visit to her when he was last in England.
		Wyatt's inablity to improve the relations between Henry VIII and the Emperor were in part responsible for Cromwell's fall.
		She bore 3 sons of Sir Thomas: Henry, who died in infancy, Francis, born in 1540, who took the name of Darrell, and Edward, whose date of birth has not been traced and who was executed among the rebels after the Wyatt's rebellion of 1554.

	Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard
		The sonnet (from French, "little song"), which both Wyatt and Surrey adapted from Petrarch, is a lyric probably not meant for instrumental accompaniment and reliably composed of fourteen lines of iambic pentameter.
		For instance, a Wyatt poem saluting "my falcon" and her fellow birds of prey on their freedom from his position of confinement almost certainly refers to Anne Boleyn and members of her affinite, who wore the image of a falcon on the badges that identified them.
		Wyatt's and Surrey's poems were among the first lyrics from the courtiers' manuscript tradition to find their way into mass-production print in the form of the poetry collection traditionally called "Tottel's Miscellany" (1557).

	The Richard Vallance Sonnet Review, December 2001
		Wyatt was one of two pioneers in the adaptation of lyric poetry to Renaissance English.
		Wyatt also was intricately familiar with the intrinsically melodic rhythms of the Italian lyrics that pervaded all of Petrarch's beautifully polished sonnets.
		Wyatt, who is no-one's political fool, is apparently warning his King against Anne, whom he knows to be overly flirtatious and too free with her favours.

	They Flee from Me
		But Wyatt didn't just turn the page, or change the subject, between the first stanza and the second; he didn't put the birds over there, and the man and woman over here.
		Though Wyatt apparently meant to publish a collection of his poems, only a few of the poems were printed before his death (several appeared in a collection published between 1536 and 1540 entitled The Court of Venus).
		Wyatt's translations of Petrarch's Italian sonnets were particularly important to Tottel's stated project of showing that the English "tongue" is capable of producing poems written no less "praisworthily" than those in Latin and Italian ("The Printer to the Reader").

		Tom's grandson, George Wyatt, speaking of Thomas and Anne, said Sir Thomas "could gladly yield to be tied forever with the knot of her love." If I had inherited Tom's way with words, I could express how deeply this book touched me. I do not know what else to say except thank you Wendy.

		Wyatt was a well-loved, accomplished diplomat who was entrusted with many critical tasks, but he wound up twice in the Tower of London with good reason to believe that he would be killed unjustly by the state he served.
		Wyatt tells Poins that he is loyal to the King and Court, but that loyalty is a pragmatic one without false belief that the royal entities are worthy of the essential role they play in the social order:
		Wyatt respects "the power of them to whom Fortune hath lent / Charge over us," but his respect is for their power, not for them.

		Sir Thomas Wyatt was born at Allington Castle, Kent, in 1503, the son of Henry Wyatt and Anne Skinner.
		Tottel supplied Wyatt's poems with titles of his own and, in his desire to appeal to contemporary taste, frequently departed from the manuscript copy of his earlier authors, removing archaisms and smoothing out the rhythm.
		Wyatt also published Petrarch's De tranquillitate animi in English translation: see Tho, wyatis translatyon of Plutarckes boke, of the quyete of mynde in 1528 (STC 20058.5) and Plutarch's Quyete of Mynde translated by Thomas Wyat (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1931).
