Short answers, pulled from the story.
Thomas Wyatt is credited with introducing the sonnet to English literature. His thirty-one sonnets, published posthumously in Tottel's Miscellany in 1557, were the first sonnets written in the English language.
Their acquaintance is certain, but whether they shared a romantic relationship is not. Several of Wyatt's poems appear to allude to Anne Boleyn, including Whoso List To Hunt and If Waker Care, and his grandson George Wyatt recorded a story about a jewel Wyatt took from Anne. Henry VIII heard of the jewel during a game of bowls.
Thomas Wyatt was born in 1503 at Allington Castle near Maidstone in Kent. He died on the 11th of October 1542 at around age thirty-nine and is buried at Sherborne Abbey.
Tottel's Miscellany, printed in 1557, was the first major book to publish and attribute verse to Thomas Wyatt. It appeared fifteen years after his death and ascribes ninety-six poems to him, making it the foundation of his posthumous reputation.
On the basis of objective documentary evidence, 156 poems can be attributed to Wyatt with certainty. Richard Harrier's 1975 philological study, confirmed by subsequent scholars, showed that 101 of the 285 poems in the standard Rebholz edition are not Wyatt's work.
Wyatt introduced the Petrarchan sonnet form and modified it with a closing couplet of his own design. He also introduced poulter's measure, a form combining a twelve-syllable iambic line with a fourteen-syllable iambic line, and is considered a master of the iambic tetrameter. He experimented with the rondeau, terza rima, ottava rima, epigrams, and satires.
