Henry Howard, the Poet Earl of Surrey: A Life

By W.A. Sessions

Book Overview

The first comprehensive biography of Henry Howard, this book fills a major gap in the history of early modern British culture. Sessions's narrative combines historical scholarship with close readings of poetic texts and Tudor paintings to reveal the unique life of the first Renaissance
courtier and a poet who wrote and created radically new forms (such as the English sonnet and blank verse).
