Abstract
The essay analyses the function of words reported by the speaker of the poem as coming from his lover (or ex-lover) and demonstrates how the words can be read as undermining the function ascribed to them by the speaker; this is accomplished in order to sketch a model for the production of 'inwardness', the representation of a psychologically complex interior life, which differs from that given by Stephen Greenblatt in his influential essay on Wyatt.
