When were the sonnets first published?
Shakespeare's Sonnets were first published in 1609, by the London printer Thomas Thorpe. Sonnets 138 and 144 had appeared earlier, in the 1599 anthology The Passionate Pilgrim. The fashion for sonnets lasted from about 1580 until the very early 1600's - and for those twenty years sonnets were as cool and hip as rap is today. So by publishing in 1609, Shakespeare's sonnets had missed the boom years. But there are many references to sonnets written by Shakespeare much earlier than this (and we can see from the subject matter of many of the sonnets that they must have been written long before they were published). So it looks like Shakespeare's sonnets were originally passed round by hand, and only published as an afterthought (after Shakespeare had already become the most famous living playwright).

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 In 1598 Francis Meres referred in print to Shakespeare's unpublished "sugared sonnets".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.
