Surrey's Verse Influences
Sir Thomas Wyatt is known for adapting Petrarch's Italian sonnets into English, influencing the development of Petrarchanism in English poetry.
In contrast, the verse of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, moved beyond Petrarch's direct influence. While Wyatt engaged with Petrarchan forms, Surrey's work drew inspiration from earlier classical traditions.
Surrey's verse looked back further in literary history, predating Petrarch's flourishing period. This backward look was primarily towards Latin verse, tapping into classical Roman poetic traditions.
Therefore, where Wyatt adapted Petrarch and Petrarchanism, Surrey's verse explored influences preceding Petrarch, notably drawing from Latin verse.
The correct answer is Latin verse.
