∙ 14y agoNo important development of Petrarchan sonnetform took place during the reign of Elizabeth - either in England or in Italy.
Both Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnetforms were already well-established in English: Thomas Wyatt wrote Petrarchan sonnets, and the Earl of Surrey wrote Shakespearean sonnets during the reign of Henry VIII.
Sometime in the 1580's Sir Philip Sidney and Samuel Daniel seem jointly to have developed the idea of a sonnet sequence(Sidney's Astrophil to Stella and Daniel's Delia were both first published in 1591 - but were already well-known by then). This in turn seems to have started something of a sonnet craze, beginning in the late 1580's and lasting until perhaps 1600.
But the fad was primarily for Shakespearean sonnets, and the next important technical development in Petrarchan form (suppression of the volta) would wait until Milton.

∙ 11y agoThere was a huge fashion for sonnets which seems to have started around 1590, and to have continued until early in the 1600's. Lots of different poets were writing sonnets, and even folk who were hardly poets at all (sonnets in the 1590's were like rap is today:- cool).
The fashion seems to have begun to wane during the early 1600's. By the time Shakespeare published his sonnets (1609), sonnets were already a bit old fashioned. But most of Shakespeare's sonnets seem to have been originally written long before he actually published them (probably in the 1590') - so Shakespeare may well have just been putting together a collection from poems he had had lying around for years.

∙ 10y agoAs the name implies Sonnets [little songs] were poems that were sometimes set to music, used as the lyrics for songs. The were a way to show the poet's skill and wit with words. Many were written to or dedicated to women for the same reason that a rock star puts the name of a woman in a song, today.
