Even though Shakespeare did not invent this sonnet style, he was among the most prolific, writing over 150 in his lifetime. Other notable authors include Michael Drayton, Fulke Greville, and, of course, William Shakespeare. Published in 1591, the sonnet set "Astrophil and Stella" by Sir Philip Sidney established the form of the English sonnet. You'll find each line traditionally consists of 10 syllables - divided into five pairs - with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The "volta" appears in the third quatrain and the traditional rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.Įnglish sonnets typically adhere to iambic pentameter more strictly than Italian sonnets. The final stanza is a couplet, meaning it contains two lines. The first three stanzas are quatrains, meaning they contain four lines each. These sonnets are divided into four stanzas, comprising 14 lines in total. The second most common form of sonnet is the English sonnet, otherwise known as the Elizabethan or Shakespearean sonnet. Of course, nowadays, you'll find many fine examples written in the English language too. The rhyming nature of these poems lent itself well to the lyricism of the Italian language. Meaning, either the first (iamb) or the second (troche) syllable may be stressed in the two-syllable metric "foot." You'll note that, while Italian sonnets generally follow iambic pentameter, the meter for the sestet tends to be more flexible. Later, the variation of CDCDCD was introduced. Initially, the rhyme scheme for the octave was ABABABAB.
The volta usually appears in the ninth line. In an Italian sonnet, there is a "volta" or "turn," which signals a change from the proposition of the poem to its resolution. The first stanza contains eight lines, or an octave the second stanza contains six lines, or a sestet. These sonnets are divided into two stanzas. Other notable sonneteers from Italy include Dante Alighieri, Guido Cavalcanti, and Michelangelo. Giacomo de Lentini penned almost 250 sonnets. Giacomo da Lentini is attributed as the inventor of this form of poetry, even though they're named after Francesco Petrarca (commonly referred to simply as Petrarch), one of the most revered Italian poets.
The first and most common type of sonnet is the Italian sonnet, otherwise known as the Petrarchan sonnet.
