A lot of them have to do with the transience of youth and beauty, number XVIII for example. A number are love-poems, such as number XX, or number CXVI. Some are commentaries on Art and Reality, such as number LXXXIII or the exquisite CXXX.

Astrophel and Stella is a sonnet sequence by Sir Philip Sidney. The sequence was first published in 1591, but there is evidence the sonnets were in private circulation during the 1580's. Many critics consider Astrophel and Stella the first sonnet sequence in English, and consider the book to have been stronly instrumental in furthering the sonnet craze of approximately 1580 - 1600. The sequence is a series of love sonnets between Astrophel (from Greek 'Star Lover') to Stella (Latin for 'Star').
It is an endless source of debate. Scholars have identified a "handsome youth" and a "dark lady" as the persons to whom the sonnets are addressed. Some people think the "handsome youth" was Shakespeare's patron Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton.

There are at least three sonnets in Romeo and Juliet. The prologue to Act One is a sonnet, as is the prologue to Act Two. Romeo and Juliet also create a unique two person sonnet in Act One, Scene Five starting where Romeo says "If I profane with my unworthiest hand" (Romeo 1.5.91) and ending with "Then move not while my prayer's effect I take" (Romeo 1.5.104).

We do not have precise dating for any of Shakespeare's sonnets. Versions of 138 and 144 appear as part of an anthology The Passionate Pilgrim in 1599, but the sonnets are first published as a collection in 1609.There are a few references to sonnets written by Shakespeare before this, but we do not know which sonnets these were (or even if they form part of the final collection).Most scholars consider that most of the sonnets were probably written between 1592 and 1598. There was a fashion for writing sonnets which followed the publicaton of Philip Sidney's Stella sonnets in 1591, and a young writer trying to make a name for himself would very likely have joined in.By 1609 sonnets were already starting to seem a bit old-hat, and it is something of a riddle why Shakespeare collected and published them at all so long after they were composed.One interesting theory was advanced by John Mortimer in his 1978 TV series Will Shakespeare - but it is only speculation, and too complex to go into in a short note.
