Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey Selected Poems

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.Howard, Henry is the author of 'Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey Selected Poems' with ISBN 9781857546996 and ISBN 1857546997.
