Shakespeare Sonnets poem

Features Shakespeare Sonnets poem

Shakespeares sonnets are poems that William Shakespeare wrote on a variety of themes.
When discussing or referring to Shakespeares sonnets, it is almost always a reference to the 154 sonnets that were first published all together in a quarto in 1609.
However, there are six additional sonnets that Shakespeare wrote and included in the plays Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Loves Labours Lost.
There is also a partial sonnet found in the play Edward III.Shakespeare’s sonnets are considered a continuation of the sonnet tradition that swept through the Renaissance from Petrarch in 14th-century Italy and was finally introduced in 16th-century England by Thomas Wyatt and was given its rhyming meter and division into quatrains by Henry Howard.
With few exceptions, Sonnet shakespearien observe the stylistic form of the English sonnet— the rhyme scheme, the 14 lines, and the meter.
But Chakespeare’s sonnets introduce such significant departures of content that they seem to be rebelling against well-worn 200 year old traditions.
