- Description
- Wyatt's awareness of the power of direct language is Chaucerian, as is the flexibility of his use of rhyme royal. Unlike Chaucer, however, Wyatt is a poet of the contraries existing within the individual, and whereas Chaucer advocates a stable mind in an ordered society, Wyatt stresses inner integrity and self-sufficiency in the face of mutability.
