The Bard from the North: A Journey into the Life and Times of Henry Howard

Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was a man of contradictions. He was a poet and a courtier, a soldier and a lover. He was ambitious and passionate, but also reckless and impulsive. His life was short and tragic, but his work continues to be read and enjoyed today.

This biography tells the story of Surrey’s life and work against the backdrop of the tumultuous Tudor court. It explores his relationships with his family, his friends, and his enemies. It also examines his role in the political and religious upheavals of his time.

Surrey’s poetry is some of the most beautiful and moving in the English language. He was a master of the sonnet, and his work helped to introduce the Italian Renaissance to England. His poems are full of passion, wit, and insight into the human condition.

Surrey’s life was cut short by tragedy. He was executed for treason in 1547, at the age of 30. But his work lived on, and it continues to inspire poets and readers to this day.

This biography is a comprehensive and engaging account of Surrey’s life and work. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Tudor history, English literature, or the life of one of England’s most fascinating and tragic figures.
