Buy this book : Renaissance Self-Fashioning. Renaissance Self-Fashioning is a study of sixteenth-century life and literature that spawned a new era of scholarly inquiry.
It is internal and external at the same time; Tyndale remakes himself after Christ's model while also putting this work on display in order to inspire the same kind of self-fashioning in believing readers.
Wyatt is something else entirely, and I'm not really clear on how he's the third term in the opposition between Tyndale and More. Greenblatt focuses most closely on Wyatt's translations of the penitential psalms David's confessional poems in the Old Testment and his court poetry, especially his translation of "Whoso List to Hunt".
Wyatt's writing, although it recycles stale tropes, is fresh and new because of how "internal" and heartfelt it seems. Greenblatt's main point is that he is not More, not completely controlled by court and church, nor is he Tyndale, given over to the Word entirely. He manages to negotiate political and sexual struggles at court without being absorbed into a court-identity. He is a diplomat, a skilled translator of language and experience , who attempts to conceal his criticism of the court but whose pain is palpable.

Instead of looking at literature as the reflection of eternal truth or general human nature mimetic criticism or the expression of an authorial genius romantic expressive criticism or the expression of ideological superstructure Marxist criticism the New historicists like Greenblatt see it as the product of the negotiation between the author, the reader and the culture of which it is a product. As social actions receive meaning only in its cultural contexts, a literary text gets meaning only in its social embeddedness.
