When were Shakespeare's sonnets written?
Versions of Sonnets 138 and 144 were published in, or shortly before, 1599 (in The Passionate Pilgrime). In 1598 Francis Meres referred in print to Shakespeare's unpublished "sugared sonnets". The First Quarto of Shakespeare's Sonnets was published in 1609.Based on this information, the orthodox view suggests that many of the sonnets were written before 1599 - though some may have been written or amended between that year and 1609. More precision is not forthcoming.However, the independent evidence for the biography in Shakespeare's Sonnets is more helpful (see link below). This evidence suggests that the sonnets were written during three main periods, approximately as follows:1592-95: Sonnets 1-94 and 127-1541596-99: Sonnets 95-1031603-04: Sonnets 104-126.
