Product Description
Immensely influential in literary history for his development of blank verse and the Petrarchian sonnet form in English, and as the first modern translator of Virgil, this selection reveals the Earl of Surrey to be a subtle and graceful poet and translator whose vigorous and faithful versions of the Aeneid continue to enrich the literary tradition. Reflecting an idealized world of aristocratic virtues of chivalry and honor, these poems have both a rich language and formal sophistication.
Customer Reviews
un merveilleux petit livre sur les poèmes de ce personnage de l'époque d'Henri VIII , il eut une vie terrible et romanesque et comme bien des acteurs de ce temps , il termina par une fin tragique , raffiné et sauvage , poète et guerrier , si vous avez vu la série "les Tudors"saison 4 , vous avez pu entendre un de ses plus jolis poèmes.
