Summary:
"Interweaves the bloody events of
Henry
VIII
's reign with the story of English love poetry and the life of its first master,
Henry
VIII
's most glamorous and enigmatic subject: Sir
Thomas
Wyatt
. Learned divines despised it, sober heads ignored it, but for
Henry
, the beau ideal of chivalry, poetry made things happen. It affected his wars, his diplomacy and his
many
marriages. It was at the root of his fatal attraction to Anne Boleyn, a source of her power and a means of her destruction.
Poet
,
statesman
,
spy
,
lover
of Ann Boleyn and favorite both of
Henry
VIII
and his sinister minister
Thomas
Cromwell, the brilliant
Wyatt
was admired and envied in equal measure. His love peotry began a risqué entertainment for ambitious men and women at the slippery top of the
court
. But when the axe began to fall and
Henry
VIII
's laws made his subjects go silent in terror,
Wyatt
's poetic skills became a way to survive. He saw that a love poem was a place where secrets could hide" -- Publisher's description.
