The Poet and the Queen: Thomas Wyatt and Anne Boleyn in Historical Biofiction

Introduction: Historical biofictions from Australia and New Zealand

“…The texts examined here all involve subjects who have died, so we categorise them as 'historical biofictions' rather than 'biofictions' alone (see also Bergmann (2021), Russo (2021) and van Luyn (2019), who likewise use this qualifier). Importantly, this differentiates the works considered here from those portraying individuals who still live.…”
