Today we do a quick look at some of the poetry of Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey, who is credited with the development of the English sonnet and of blank verse.  We'll look at "The Night Piece," "Love that Doth Reign," and  “Alas, so all things now do hold their peace."Support the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen.
