Francesco Petrarca is the Italian poet with whom Thomas Wyatt acquainted England's readers by circulating English translations and imitating Petrarchan styles. The Italian poet in question (July 20, 1304 - July 19, 1374) still makes Italian language-learners out of poetry-lovers. The English poet in question (1503 - October 11, 1542) likewise manages to attract twenty-first century lovers of poetry through his Petrarch-style sonnets.

Why there are Personal feelings in thomas wyatt's sonnets?

There was a great admiration for all things Italian in English Tudor society. Italy was seen (correctly) as the source of the new learning and the new culture of the Renaissance, while several Italian cities (especially Venice) also had the reputation of being excitingly multicultural and capitals of hedonism. Petrarch had made the sonnet an intensely personal and intensely elegant system of self-expression; it was natural that an English courtier who wished to seem à la mode and cultured would imitate the new and exciting Petrarchan poetry. If Thomas Wyatt hadn't had strong and unruly emotions of his own, he would probably have pretended to. As it transpired, he probably didn't need to pretend.
