Sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter, which employ one of several rhyme schemes and adhere to a tightly structured thematic organization. It originated in Italy, and is invented by Giacomo da Lentini. The Petrarchan Sonnet is the first and most common sonnet is the Petrarchan, or Italian. Named after one of its greatest practitioners, the Italian poet Petrarch, the Petrarchan sonnet is divided into two stanzas, the octave (the first eight lines) followed by the answering sestet (the final six lines). The tightly woven rhyme scheme, abba, abba, cdecde or cdcdcd, is suited for the rhyme-rich Italian language, though there are many fine examples in English. Since the Petrarchan presents an argument, observation, question, or some other answerable charge in the octave, a turn, or volta, occurs between the eighth and ninth lines. This turn marks a shift in the direction of the foregoing argument or narrative, turning the sestet into the vehicle for the counterargument, clarification, or whatever answer the octave demands. Sir Thomas Wyatt introduced the Petrarchan sonnet to England in the early sixteenth century. His famed translations of Petrarch’s sonnets, as well as his own sonnets, drew fast attention to the form. Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, a contemporary of Wyatt’s, whose own translations of Petrarch are considered more faithful to the original though less fine to the ear, modified the Petrarchan, thus establishing the structure that became known as the Shakespearean sonnet. This structure has been noted to lend itself much better to the comparatively rhyme-poor English language. The Shakespearean Sonnet is the second major type of sonnet, the Shakespearean, or English sonnet, follows a different set of rules. Here, three quatrains and a couplet follow this rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg. The couplet plays a pivotal role, usually arriving in the form of a conclusion, amplification, or even refutation of the previous three stanzas, often creating an epiphanic quality to the end. In Sonnet 130 of William Shakespeare’s epic sonnet cycle, the first twelve lines compare the speaker’s mistress unfavorably with nature’s beauties.

Pushkin was born into Russian nobility in Moscow. His matrilineal great-grandfather was Abram Petrovich Gannibal, who was kidnapped from what is now Cameroon (there are various scholarly views on this) and raised in the household of Peter the Great. He published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. While under the strict surveillance of the Tsar's political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832.

Pushkin was fatally wounded in a duel with his brother-in-law, Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès, also known as Dantes-Gekkern, a French officer serving with the Chevalier Guard Regimentwho attempted to seduce the poet's wife, Natalia Pushkina. Chloe Manuel Gr 9 - St Claudia

Poet: William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)

Published: 1609

Sonnet 18 is a part of Fair Youth sequence of Shakespeare’s collection of 154 sonnets. It is a hugely influential and often quoted work; and there are several double meanings in the poem which give it greater depth. Shakespeare starts Sonnet 18 with a flattering question to the beloved: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”

Poet: Percy Bysshe Shelley

Published: 1818

Ozymandias was a Greek name for the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, perhaps the most powerful king of Ancient Egypt. In Percy’s poem the speaker recalls meeting a traveller who tells him about two huge stone legs and a damaged head of a statue whose sculptor had captured the pride of his subject.

Poet: John Donne

Published: 1633 (posthumously)

Along with Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, John Donne is regarded as the most important sonnet writer of the Elizabethan era. Death Be Not Proud is his best-known poem with its opening lines being extremely popular. It is part of his 19 poems known as Holy Sonnets. In it, Donne directly speaks to Death, as though he is a person, and tells him not to be proud due to the awe in which people hold him because he can’t truly kill anyone as their souls live on in the afterlife.----------Ara Mascariña

William Shakespeare
Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, at age 49, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, which has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.[5]

Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613.[6][nb 4] His early plays were primarily comedies and histories, which are regarded as some of the best work ever produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language.[2] In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights.

A sonnet is a poem in a specific form which originated in Italy; Giacomo da Lentini is credited with its invention.

The term sonnet is derived from the Italian word sonetto (from Old Provençal sonet a little poem, from son song, from Latin sonus a sound). By the thirteenth century it signified a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. Conventions associated with the sonnet have evolved over its history. Writers of sonnets are sometimes called "sonneteers", although the term can be used derisively

Sonnet
is simply a poem written in a certain format. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, a poetic meter with 10 beats per line made up of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables.
All sonnets have 14 lines which can be broken down into four sections called quatrains. The first three quatrains contain four lines each and use an alternating rhyme scheme. The final quatrain consists of just two lines which both rhyme.

Another reason the sonnet is so popular among poets is that it has shown a great ability to adapt to different needs and purposes. Sonnets lend themselves to many subjects and themes, such as love, politics, nature, death -- the possibilities are endless. Even the sonnet’s meter and rhyme, which in some ways define the form, have proven to be fair game for poets who favor innovation and experimentation.

American poet Aaron Kramer couldn't have said it any better.

When asked by students why anyone would want to write a sonnet, he pulled a chair into the center of the room.
"First, " he said, pressing his wrists together, "you are handcuffed by having to write fourteen lines."
"Then, " he said, sitting down to press his ankles together, "you are shackled by having to write with a set meter."
Leaning forward to crouch into a ball, he declared, "They put you into a sack called rhyme."
Rising suddenly from the chair to spread his arms, he declared, "But think what a magic act it is if you can set your meaning free!"

Think of a sonnet as a jigsaw puzzle, or maybe sudoku. It's challenging, time consuming and may even make your head ache but once you finish it, you'll have plenty of reasons for that surge of pride that fills your chest.

A key element to the sonnet is the turn or "volta". Some would say the key element to a sonnet is the volta. So, what is a volta? The volta is a change in subject matter. This usually occurs when the rhyme group changes. A volta occurring alongside a change in rhyme group is supposedly a principle for all rhymed poetry, but not one that is always followed.

Volta is the Italian word for “turn.” In a sonnet, the volta is the turn of thought or argument. For instance, the volta in sonnet 29 happens in the dramatic shift at lines 9-10, when the Narrator stops being Depressed™ at his situation and becomes happy when he remembers that there's somebody out there who loves him.

Sonnets remain significant because they offer examples of how strict, formal poetry can also offer some flexibility to authors.

Francesco Petrarch is an Italian poet who is responsible for the oldest form of the sonnet. Petrarch's sonnets consisted of two stanzas: the eight-line octave and the six-line sestet. Petrarchan sonnets present an observation, argument or question within the octave and then offer a response in the sestet. These sonnets are marked by a turn in meaning, or volta, which occurs between the eighth and ninth lines.

William Shakespeare is responsible for the other major form of the sonnet. Shakespeare's works took a different form than Petrarch's, consisting of three four-line quatrains and a concluding two-line couplet. The ending couplet is a crucial part of the sonnet, typically offering some sort of epiphany or answer related to the previous 12 lines.

William Drummond of Hawthornden

1585–1649

In his book collecting as in his poetry, William Drummond was conservative and imitative. As reported in Notes of Ben Jonson's Conversations with William Drummond of Hawthornden (1842), Jonson said that Drummond's verses were good, "Save that they smelled too much of the Schools, and were not after the fancie of the time". His collection therefore serves as a guide to what contemporaries of William Shakespeare and Jonson were reading. It also shows how a man of moderate means living in a relatively isolated part of Britain acquired his books.

Known in English as Petrarch, he was born at dawn on July 20, 1304, in the city of Arezzo, in central Italy, just south of Florence. He is the son of Ser Petracco, a merchant and notary public. Petrarch studied law with his brother in Montpellier, France, in 1316, and later in Bologna, Italy. He was primarily interested in Latin literature and writing. After the death of his father in 1326, Petrarch abandoned law altogether, later asserting, “I couldn’t face making a merchandise of my mind.” Instead, he served in various clerical positions, which granted him adequate time for his writing and literary studies.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR-Though he is most renowned for his plays, William Shakespeare is also considered one of the most prominent sonnet writers. He wrote a sonnet sequence of 154 poems. Sonnets 1 to 126 of his collection are addressed to an unnamed young man, now referred to as “Fair Youth”; while the rest are known as the Dark Lady sequence. Sonnet 116 provides the definition of ideal love. In the first quatrain, the speaker says that love is not changeable; in the second he says that it is fixed like the north star is to sailors; in the third he says that it not a “Time’s fool”, that it does not change with time; and in the couplet he attests to the certainty of his definition by saying, “If this be error and upon me proved; I never writ, nor no man ever loved.” Sonnet 116 is regarded among the finest in Shakespeare’s entire sequence and it is one of the most famous poems written on love.

Edmund Spenser was born in London in the year 1552 or 1553. Little is known about his family or his childhood, except that he received a scholarship to attend the Merchant Taylor School, where he likely studied Latin and Greek. He went on to study literature and religion at Cambridge University’s Pembroke Hall, receiving a BA in 1573 and an MA in 1576.

Spenser published his first volume of poetry, The Shepheardes Calender (Hugh Singleton), in 1579, dedicating it to the poet Sir Philip Sidney. He was also the author of The Faerie Queene (William Ponsonby, 1596), a major English epic, and Amoretti and Epithalamion (William Ponsonby, 1595), a sonnet sequence dedicated to his second wife, Elizabeth Boyle.

Alongside his poetry, Spenser pursued a career in politics, serving as a secretary first for the Bishop of Rochester and then for the Earl of Leicester, who introduced him to other poets and artists in Queen Elizabeth’s court. In 1580, he was appointed secretary to the Lord Deputy of Ireland; later, in 1596, he wrote an inflammatory pamphlet called A View of the Present State of Ireland (James Ware, 1633).

In 1598, during the Nine Years War, Spenser was driven from his home in Ireland. He died in London in 1599 and was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey.

(YZA ELONA ST CLAUDIA) Understanding sonnets can make you think about different ways ways of expressing yourself in a (sort of) figurative way. Like there's so much it tries to say than it is simply stated. It also has a nice ring to it, y'know...

John Milton 1608-1674

English is often referred to as ‘the language of Shakespeare and Milton.’ Milton’s poetry has been seen as the most perfect poetic expression in the English language for four centuries.

His most famous poem, the epic Paradise Lost is a high point of English epic poetry. Its story has entered into English and European culture to such an extent that the details of our ideas of heaven and hell and paradise, Adam and Eve, Satan and his legions’ war against God, the arch angel Gabriel and all of those Genesis characters and events, come from Milton’s imagining of them in this poem.

Although so many of our ideas about that story come from Paradise Lost Milton is not read much these days. He is still studied in universities that wish to give their students a grounding in classic English poetry, however.

Paradise Lost has all the elements of Greek epic poetry, such as extended metaphors; a hero with cosmic significance (Satan); a setting that encompasses the whole world or, in this case, the universe; battle deeds that go beyond normal acts of warfare; the intervention of supernatural beings in the affairs of humans; and language that is suited to the elevated events and the characters of the epic. Itg is this last characteristic that most distances the modern reader from Milton’s poetry. This extract shows how far distant the poetry is from the modern taste:

Milton was a man of letters, and a civil servant. He was politically active – a pamphleteer – a republican and supporter of Oliver Cromwell. Although by the time of his death Paradise Lost was already being spoken of as the greatest poem in the English language he died poor, as a result of his republican views and anti-monarchist involvement.

Sonnets are poems with 14 lines, usually with 10 syllables in each line, following the traditional English rhythm of unstressed and stressed beats called iambic pentameter. Like haiku, sonnets are strong examples of poetry with a strict form, as opposed to free verse, which allows for unrestricted use of rhyme and stanza structure. The significance of the sonnet is closely linked to this form and how it has been used by authors. Rhyme schemes vary, but notable types have developed throughout literary history.
- Mary Bauzon, Saint Crispin

Sonnets remain significant because they offer examples of how strict, formal poetry can also offer some flexibility to authors. For example, switching the rhythm of a sonnet’s typical unstressed/stressed pattern to a stressed/unstressed pattern in one line draws attention to the line and does not violate the more important formal requirements such as stanza length. Contemporary poets have used the traditional rules of line, rhythm and rhyme and the opportunity to bend these rules as a way to add new meaning and unique expression to their poetry.
- Mary Bauzon, Saint Crispin

Spenserian- this sonnet is very similar to the Shakespearian sonnet in form, though its rhyme scheme is slightly different. It is written with 3 Sicilian quatrains and an ending heroic couplet. It rhymes "abab bcbc cdcd ee", such that the rhyme scheme interlocks each of the quatrains, much like the terza rima is made of interlocking triplets.

He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of nascent Modern English verse, and is often considered one of the greatest poets in the English language.
