Stephen Hawes

Stephen Hawes c.1475-1530, English poet. His best-known works, the two allegories Example of Virtue (1504?) and Pastime of Pleasure (1505?), use typically medieval conventions, but they differ from medieval allegory in their humanist emphasis on learning, fame, and the perfection of life in this world.

Hawes, Stephen (c.1475–1511), a poet of the school of Chaucer and Lydgate, was groom of the chamber to Henry VII. His Passetyme of Pleasure or The Historie of Graunde Amoure and La Bell Pucel (1509) and his Example of Vertu (1512), both allegorical poems in rhyme-royal, were printed by Wynkyn de Worde.
