I enjoyed this book and have really enjoyed reading it. If you love history and particularly the history of England, one can only take pleasure in reading this book is going on during the last years of the reign of the Virgin Queen. We discover London in the sixteenth century as the Court rife with rumors and their cruelties through the eyes of the heroine, Ann. The relationship between the lady (Ann) and the poet takes time before you settle down, but quickly becomes quite sensual. It is a relationship based on verbal exchanges between the two characters who are not devoid of mind. This is why lon sattache easily to them, because they have a fairly well constructed psychology. While some poems are cited by here and there, the story focuses mainly on the history of the young woman, Ann More. A major interest of this book is the account of this story of love, combining fiction with reality, making us discover a poet little known in France and the intense relationship that he had with the niece of his employer. So I highly recommend this book for all amateur romance, keen on of history, costume movies and poetry. Finally, I will mention lauteure that perfectly summarized his intentions in the afterword of the book: "The Lady and the Poet, based on fact and imagination are aussi, tells an extraordinary and little-known love story and Attempts to paint a picture, my picture, of the Ann who is missing from history.
