Graven with Diamonds by Nicola Shulman (nonfiction)

The Many Lives of Thomas Wyatt: Poet, Lover, Statesman, and Spy in the Court of Henry VIII.  This book won a Writer's Guild Award for Best Non-Fiction Book, and I know why.  It was a crazy mixture of learned history with poetry analysis, all combined to reset the idea that Wyatt was not a great poet.  This book was a fast read, even though the topic doesn't seem like it would be zippy, I loved it.  I learned new things about the English language, and about how Henry treated his diplomats.
