| Summary: | Should Thomas More be considered England's lost Renaissance poet? This essay investigates the printing and reception of More's vernacular verses in light of the Marian restoration of Catholicism, including More's overall treatment as a martyr, an opponent of heresy, and the political uses of his reputation. In the context and events of 1556-57, More's status as a poet diminishes while his public persona as a divinely inspired author of theological controversies grows. Thomas More devrait-il être considéré comme le poète perdu de la Renaissance anglaise? Cette étude explore la publication et la réception des poèmes anglais de More lors de la restauration du catholicisme sous Marie Ière, y compris dans la compréhension de More comme martyr, opposant à l'hérésie et dans l'usage politique qui fut fait de sa réputation. Dans le contexte des événements de 1556-57, le statut de More comme poète décline alors que grandit le personnage public vu comme auteur d'inspiration divine, dans les controverses théologiques. |
