The term "sonnet" derives from the Provençal word sonet and the Italian word "sonetto," both meaning "little song." By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. The conventions associated with the sonnet have evolved over its history
The Sonnet originated in Italy in the 13th century, popularized by poets like Petrarch and Dante. It consists of 14 lines written in iambic pentameter and follows specific rhyme schemes, such as the Petrarchan and Shakespearean forms. Sonnets are often used to explore themes of love, beauty, and nature.
There is the Petrarchian (Italian sonnet), which is the oldest one; the Spensarian sonnet; and the Shakespearean (English or Elizabethan) sonnet. True sonnets have 14 lines, but the forms of the three sonnets named here differ.
A Petrarchian sonnet is comprised of an octet (8 lines) followed by a sestet (6 lines), all written in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme can vary, but it is generally abbaabba in the octet, and either cdecde, cdcdcd, or cdcdee for the sestet.
The Spensarian sonnet has an interlocking rhyme scheme of abab,bcbc,cdcd,ee.
The Shakespearean sonnet has three quartets and a couplet, and a rhyme scheme of abab,cdcd,efef,gg.
The sonnet you will most often see when you study literature in a high school English class is the Shakespearean sonnet.
The sonnet was originally developed by Giacomo da Lentini in Sicily. It became a favourite Italian metre largely due to the sonnets of Petrarch (Francisco Petrarca) during the middle of the fourteenth century.
Once the sonnet was closely identified with Renaissance ideas, and with Italian (the foremost language for the new learning) it became popular all over Europe.
Giacomo Da Lentini is credited with the development or invention of the sonnet. He was an Italian poet who lived during the 13th century.
