Exploring the English Sonnet
By Lady Dulcibella de Chateaurien
Sonnet - from Italian sonneto (‘little sound’ or ‘little song’)
What is a Sonnet?
A sonnet is a fourteen line fixed form poem, which varies in style depending on the country of the poet. The
Italian style (also known as the Petrarchan style) dates from the thirteenth century, the French style from the late
fourteenth or early fifteenth century, and the English style (also known as the Shakespearean style) from the sixteenth century. There are other styles as well, but these three are the most common. William Shakespeare took
the English style sonnet to its greatest heights of popularity in the late sixteenth century.
The English sonnet pattern is written in iambic pentameter (having five “feet). This means that each line is decasyllabic (has ten syllables) and that the vocal emphasis will always fall on the even numbered syllable. A line
in an English sonnet would read: - — - — - — - — - —. It is usually presented as three quatrains and a couplet
with a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg in the Shakespearean style. An alternate style, the Spenserian, which
was also developed by an Englishman, would follow an abab bcbc cdcd ee rhyme scheme.
The Italian sonnet pattern, the most widely used style in period, is a fourteen line fixed form poem. It is hendecasyllabic, meaning that each line has eleven syllables. The vocal emphasis must always fall so that it stresses the
tenth syllable. A line in an Italian sonnet would read - - — - - — - — - — - . An Italian sonnet is presented as
an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (6 lines) and has an abbaabba cdecde rhyme scheme.
The French sonnet pattern is a fourteen line poem developed at the beginning of the fifteenth century. The lines,
called alexandrines, require twelve syllables per line and an abbaabba ccdede rhyme scheme.
All of the sonnet forms have a tradition of a volta, a turning point, in the poem, usually at the eighth line. The
English sonnet pattern is a bit less particular about where the volta occurs. However, in many cases, the volta
seems to naturally occur at around the eighth line, the middle, per se, of the poem.
In the Italian and French sonnet patterns, the first part, the octave, of the poem sets up an idea or situation, and
the sestet turns it on its ear with a twist, reversal, repudiation of some kind. The English form posits an idea or
situation (if-then motif) and a consequence, or a thought and refutation of that thought. The reversal, consequence, or refutation begins around the eighth line just as it does in the Italian sonnet. Then poet uses the last
quatrain to discredit the first two and the couplet to sum up the entire poem.
History/Background
When most people think about sonnets, their minds usually leap to William Shakespeare and the last decade or
two of the sixteenth century. However, the roots of the sonnet are sunk much deeper in the cultural history of
both England and continental Europe.
According to the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, the first recognizable predecessors of the sonnet probably emerged in Italy around the dawn of the thirteenth century B. C. E. although it is unclear exactly
when the sonnet was born. The encyclopedia article conjectures that the earliest sonnet form may have evolved
with the addition of two tercets to the Sicilian strambatto, a two quatrain poem, or may have been an extrapolation modeled on the canzone, (a favorite poetic form of Dante’s), which was divided into two parts, the fronte
and the sirma (head and tail) like the Italian sonnet with the fronte also being divided into two metrically identical piedi (feet), suggesting the English sonnet.
Giacomo da Lentini introduced the first “proto-sonnet,” a fourteen line, hendecasyllabic (11 syllables per line)
poem with an abababab cdecde rhyme scheme, at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The form was quickly
The Dancing Moon
Page 11
adopted by Lentini’s fellow poets, and the quatrain-tercet subdivisions became the standard for this type of poem. Guittone d’Arezzo introduced a change in rhyme scheme to abbaabba cdecde, and Dante and Petrarch’s
use and support of d’Arezzo’s version solidified it as the standard rhyme structure for the Italian sonnet.
By the fifteenth century, the Italian sonnet pattern was a popular poetic form among poets all over Europe. Poets in various countries had no compunction, however, about experimenting with the form to make it better fit
their languages or their purposes.
For instance, when sonnets became popular in France at the beginning of the sixteenth century, the French developed a separate style using lines called alexandrines. These lines are twelve syllables long and use an abbaabba ccdede rhyme scheme. Clement Marot and Mellin de Saint Gelais brought the form to France, but it was
Joachim du Bellay who wrote the first non-Italian sonnet cycle. Major poets Pierre de Ronsard, Phillipe Desportes, and Francois de Malherbe all supported the alexandrine version of the sonnet, making it the standard form
in France. They were also stimulating interest in the sonnets among English poets.
The experimentation with sonnet form and rhyme hit its greatest heights in England, where the poetic form was
changed so profoundly that it became a separate style, independent of its Petrarchan forbearer.
Sir Thomas Wyatt introduced the Italian sonnet pattern to England, but, while remaining faithful to the Italian
octave, he preferred to end his sonnets with a couplet as the last two lines of the sestet, thus breaking the standard Italian rhyme scheme. Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey took the Wyatt’s twist to the Italian pattern even further and established the English sonnet rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. According to Preminger and Brogan, this rhyme scheme was easier to use with English because the language is “rhyme-poor” compared to Italian. While English poets embraced Surrey’s sonnet style, they by no means used it exclusively.
William Shakespeare took Surrey’s English sonnet pattern to its finest point. His sonnets have, in many ways
become the epitome of this poetic form. However, some of his contemporaries preferred alternate rhyme
schemes. Spenser, for instance, favored a closer compromise between the English and Italian styles, employing
an abab bcbc cdcd ee scheme.
Although many historians tend to give all the credit for the ancestry of the English sonnet to the Italians, Amanda Holton notes in her article, that “the speed and comfort with which the form settled into English reflects the
fact that the sonnet per se was preceded by a longstanding tradition of fourteen line poems in English written in
forms derived from French.” She points out that other types of fourteen line poems had been well established in
England before Wyatt imported the Italian sonnet. For instance, in the late fourteenth century, Chaucer introduced the rhyme royal stanza, a 7 line poetic segment with an ababbcc rhyme scheme that could be used by itself or with other rhyme royal stanzas to make a longer poem. A rhyme royal could have any number of lines as
long as they were divisible by seven. Two stanzas would provide the basic line count for a sonnet.
Holton maintains, however, that the most important ancestor of the English sonnet form is the French roundel,
also known as ‘rondel.’ This poetic style only has two rhymes, but features decasyllabic lines, several repeated.
Although roundel is unified, the rhyme scheme, ABbaabABabbaAB (capital letters indicate repeated lines), suggests a natural eight plus six stanza break, echoing the Italian sonnet pattern. The poem’s standard fourteen line
format and decasyllabic lines bring it much closer to the sonnet style than the rhyme royal or other forms.
By the end of the seventeenth century, the popularity of the sonnet, English, French, or Italian, had waned. Out
of fashion for most of the eighteenth century, the sonnet was “rediscovered” by the Romantic poets of the nineteenth century, who, like their Renaissance and Elizabethan predecessors, couldn’t resist exploring and tinkering with the form. Sonnets have enjoyed varying degrees of favor amongst poets throughout the twentieth and
into the twenty-first century, but, as is always the case, each generation of wordsmiths has put its own stamp on
this venerable fixed verse style.

Nature’s Tapestry
by
Lady Dulcibella de Chateaurien
At winter’s wane, fair Nature warps her loom
With spring’s silk strands of rain and warming sun.
Worked through, long wefts of flowers all abloom
And emerald buds and early lambs do run.
Her tapestry displayed at summer’s dawn,
She loves her masterpiece and, sunny, smiles,
But soon, “What’s this? A flaw I look upon!”
She frowns, unweaving work she now reviles.
Bright autumn’s wealth from Nature’s loom is shed
As fruited trees and golden honey wine.
Her wafting threads, all brown and orange-red,
Unraveled, fall, a leafy shroud, a sign
That Nature’s winter loom shall bare remain
Until she warps in spring and weaves again.
