520			_aThis anthology of sixteenth-century verse features the courtier voices of the middle to late Tudor period, from Henry ⅤⅠⅠⅠ's Reformation to the uncertanties over the succession which clouded the last years of Elizabeth's reign. These poems are loving, witty, sometimes theologically solemn—even apocalyptic. Some are laments, others are triumphant, weaving fictions about monarchical supremacy (and quietly undercutting them). Sometimes they imitate older modles like Virgil, or more recent ones such as Petrarch, but above all the poems are startlingly contemporary in their concern with contingency, power, politics and with humanity's ability,through poetry, to transcend persecution and imprisonment.
