Summary

This study reappraises Sir Thomas Wyatt (c.1504-1542) as a poetic innovator. It discusses Wyatt's reflections on the writing process, and his awareness of how words can be turned in new directions - that is, rewritten, amended, transformed manipulated, even performed - over the course of a text's production, transmission, and reception.
