Whoso List to Hunt
The Lover Showeth How He Is Forsaken
by Sir Thomas Wyatt

Sir Thomas Wyatt
Sir Thomas Wyatt is best known for bringing the sonnet form to English poetry. Did you also know that he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, perhaps because of his interest in Anne Boleyn, wife of King Henry VIII? Read Wyatt's biography and click on Anne Boleyn to read about the woman who inspired "Whoso List to Hunt." How might Anne Boleyn have felt about this poem? As Boleyn, write a response to the poem.
