4. SONNET
The sonnet is one of the most famous forms in English poetry. A poetic form is
a type of poem: each form has its own “rules” and is associated with a particular
theme. Sonnets are associated with desire: for centuries poets have used the frame
of the sonnet to explore the complicated human experience of romantic love.
English poets borrowed the sonnet form from the Italian poet Francesco
Petrarch. Traditionally, it has fourteen lines of iambic pentameter linked by an
intricate rhyme scheme. Iambic pentameter refers to its rhythm; basically, each line
of the poem has ten syllables, and every other syllable is stressed. For example,
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day,” which is the first line of a sonnet by
William Shakespeare.

Petrarchan or Italian Sonnet
The Petrarchan Sonnet is named after the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch, a lyrical poet of
fourteenth-century Italy. Petrarch did not invent the poetic form that bears his name.
Because of the structure of Italian the rhyme scheme of this sonnet is more easily fulfilled
in that language than in English. The Petrarchan or Italian sonnet perfected by poet
Petrarch, divides the fourteen lines into two sections ABBAABBA and six line stanza
(sestet) rhyming CDCDCD or CDECDE. John Milton’s “When I Consider How My Light Is
Spent” and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee” were written in this form.

A Shakespearean sonnet is a variation on the Italian sonnet tradition. The form evolved in England during
and around the time of the Elizabethan era. These sonnets are sometimes referred to as Elizabethan sonnets
or English sonnets.
Although Shakespeare’s sonnets have prominently endured for centuries, he was hardly alone in his
embrace of this poetic style. Many prominent English poets of the day, from John Donne to John Milton, also
wrote sonnets.
Shakespearean sonnets feature the following elements:
1. They are fourteen lines long.
2. The fourteen lines are divided into four subgroups.
3. The first three subgroups have four lines each, which makes them “quatrains,” with the second and fourth
lines of each group containing rhyming words.
4. The sonnet then concludes with a two-line subgroup, and these two lines rhyme with each other.

A Spenserian sonnet is a type of sonnet a fourteen-line poem with a particular rhyme
scheme that is almost always written using iambic pentameter. Sonnets were first
introduced by a poet named Giacomo da Lentini in the thirteenth century, but later poets,
such as William Shakespeare, established their own specific types of sonnets. The
Spenserian sonnet was established by Edmund Spenser. Other sonnet types include the
Shakespearean sonnet and the Petrarchan sonnet (created by Petrarch, an Italian poet).
Edmund Spenser was a prominent English poet who lived from 1552 to 1599. He wrote
several types of poems, including epics like The Faerie Queen and his namesake, the
Spenserian sonnet. Spenser was both religious and loyal to his queen (Queen Elizabeth),
and, as such, he wrote many sonnets for Elizabeth which coincided with various
celebrations in the Church calendar. He wanted his work to reflect his culture, values, and
beliefs.

Named after the English poet John Milton, Miltonic sonnets use the same rhyme
scheme ABBAABBA CDECDE and structure (an octave and a sestet) of a
Petrarchan sonnet.
Miltonic sonnets deal with different themes than the other types of sonnets,
though. Instead of tackling questions of romantic love or nature, Miltonic sonnets
often deal with politics and moral issues thematically, and they use something
called enjambment to tighten the sonnet’s structure.

Before William Shakespeare’s day, the word sonnet could be applied to any short lyric poem.
In Renaissance Italy and then in Elizabethan England the sonnet became a fixed poetic
form, consisting of 14 lines, usually iambic pentameter in English. Different types of sonnets
evolved in the different languages of the poets writing them, with variations in rhyme
scheme and metrical pattern. But all sonnets have a two-part thematic structure, containing
a problem and solution, question and answer, or proposition and reinterpretation within
their 14 lines and a volta, or turn, between the two parts.
Sonnets share these characteristics:
Fourteen lines: All sonnets have 14 lines, which can be broken down into four sections called
quatrains.
A strict rhyme scheme: The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, for example, is ABAB
/ CDCD / EFEF / GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme).
Written in iambic pentameter: Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, a poetic meter
with 10 beats per line made up of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables.

The sonnet is a unique form of poetry. It became famous and prominent especially in western
literature, in which it has maintained its appeal for major poets for five centuries. Sonnet seemed to
originate in 13th century and spread to Tuscany in 14 century, where it reached its highest
expectations. Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard introduced the sonnet in England in 16th century.
This period was marked as a golden period of sonnet.
The course, which was adaptation of Italian literature, was not rich in forms and structure.
Therefore, the arrival of Elizabethan sonnets has changed the form and rhyme scheme of sonnet. The
rhyme scheme of English sonnet was ABAB CDCD EFEF. After this change, the sonnet became rich in
rhymes but the greater numbers of rhymes had made it a less demanding form. By the time, forms of
sonnet developed and the writers started writing about different topics, apart from love.
John Donne wrote his religious sonnet and John Milton wrote sonnets on the subject of politics and
religion. He also wrote on personals themes, like his own blindness.

In the 20th century, poets like Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Lowell, and W.H. Auden
continued to use and evolve the form of the sonnet by creating their own variations.
These modern variations are more extreme than the difference between Italian and
English sonnets. Modern poets have written unrhymed sonnets, "inverted" sonnets in
which the sestet precedes the octave, and sonnets with unusual rhyme schemes.
Although today when people refer to sonnets they usually mean the original form of
the English or Petrarchan sonnet, and some modern poets still write traditional sonnets,
modern sonnets can be any poem of 14 lines, with or without a rhyme scheme.
