Literary Jewels: The Elizabethan Sonnet

By abcpoet 175 days ago from http://literarybonanza.blogspot.com

Sonnet, a poem of fourteen lines, was originally invented in Italy. It probably originated with Dante, who wrote a number of sonnets to his beloved Beatrice. But the genre of sonnets flourished under Petrarch. In this post I have explained how this art flowed into the channel of English poetry in the Elizabethan age. Also I have written about the major sonneteers of the this age - Sidney, Spenser and Shakespeare.
