The first sonnet sequence in English was Philip Sidney's Astrophel and Stella - published in 1591, but probably composed in the early 1580's. (It was common to circulate poems in manuscript before publication).
Sidney's sequence has 'songs' interspersed with the sonnets, but the sonnets carry the narrative of the sequence.
