Description
Sir Thomas Wyatt's translations and imitations of Petrarch mark the beginning of the English Renaissance encounter with Petrarchism as a literary movement. Wyatt removes or deemphasizes some important features of his originals, but takes others very seriously; some of the most striking results, as in "They flee from me," come when he brings expectations nurtured in the Petrarchan narrative of unconsummated desire to promiscuous sexual love and its aftermath. **********
