内容説明
This is a comprehensive biography of Henry Howard, poet Earl of Surrey. Sessions's narrative combines historical scholarship with close readings of poetic texts and Tudor paintings to explore Surrey's life. The first cousin of Queens Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (and an influence on his young cousin the Princess Elizabeth), he was beheaded in 1547 on the orders of Henry VIII. Surrey embodied the contradictions of the courtier's role, through his standing both as a representative of the older nobility and heir to the greatest title outside the royal family, and as a poet who wrote innovative texts and created the most enduring poetic forms in England, the English sonnet and blank verse. This book aims to present a contemporary and wider assessment of his role in Tudor society. Sessions uses Surrey's redefinition of the role of Tudor courtier through his poems, his portraits, his military campaigns, and his political presence, to reveal how he created the first image in England of the Renaissance courtier.
