Wyatt and Surrey died young and English poetry suffered a heavy loss form their premature death.

They published nothing in their life-time.Their songs and sonnets were published for the first time in 1458, in Tuttle’s Miscellany. Their influence could not be felt immediately, a “Whole generation passed before the lead of Wyatt and Surrey was followed’. It was during the Elizabethan era that their poetry fired the imagination of young poets and Italianism took firm root in the English soil.
