William Shakespeare is widely regarded as having written the greatest number of sonnets in the English language. He wrote a collection of 154 sonnets that are considered some of the finest in English literature.
Italian poet Petrarch wrote sonnets to Laura in his collection "Canzoniere." These sonnets explore his unrequited love for a woman named Laura and are considered a classic example of love poetry.
Petrarch is considered a humanist because he placed a strong emphasis on the importance of studying classical texts, particularly those by Roman authors like Cicero and Virgil. He believed in the value of humanistic education to improve society and individuals, focusing on the development of human potential and virtue. His works, such as his collection of sonnets known as the "Canzoniere," also express humanist ideals of individualism and introspection.
