Best Answer

The Sonnet form was introduced to England by Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey in the 16th century. They adapted the Petrarchan form of the sonnet popularized by Italian poet Petrarch, creating the English or Shakespearean sonnet structure with 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme. William Shakespeare later popularized the sonnet form in England through his famous sonnet sequences.

Did Shakespeare introduced the sonnet to England?

The sonnet was popularised in England by Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard Earl of Surrey, who were some two generations before Shakespeare. (Shakespeare was born in 1564, Henry Howard in 1517). The sonnet was already well established in Italy by the time of Howard and Wyatt; it had been made the natural form for Renaissance lyric by Petrarch during the 1350's. The English sonnetteers were imitating an established Continental model. By Shakespeare's time the sonnet was still new, but no longer cutting-edge.
