Question 1

Sir Thomas Wyatt (Whoso List to Hunt)

Answer 1

• Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Wyatt himself (hidden identity so not open to treason, concealment)
• Divine right of Kings, God’s representative on earth, all kings subjects were his property
• credited with bringing sonnet into English
• women had little identity, property of men
• women expected to be chase to not undermine man’s reputation (double sexual standards)- Anne executed for adultery whereas Wyatt imprisoned then let off
