There is
no agreed canon of Wyatt's poems, nor any particular order in which
they should or should not be presented. Most readers initially come
across his work in anthologies. Here all poems from the manuscipts are
included and the order followed is that of A. K. Foxwell, i.e.
Rondeaus, Sonnets, Epigrams, Miscellaneous poems, Satires, Poems
written after 1536, Poems from the Devonshire manuscript, Poems absent
from E & D, Poems from Tottel's Songes and Sonettes. The
translations of the Penitential Psalms have not been included. The main
corpus derives from the Egerton manuscript (E) (BM 2711). Other poems
are found in the Devonshire manuscript (D), in various other manuscript
sources, and in Tottel's Miscellany (T).
All
sections are now on line, as may be seen from the links listed to the
left. A few poems not given in Foxwell have yet to be added. The first
line index is also now available.
