Best Answer

Shakespeare was an omnivorous reader, and must have been keenly interested in the poetry of his time --he contributed sonnets and two narrative poems himself as well as the powerful poetry of his plays*. But it is difficult to say how much influence other poets had on his language.

These links offer brief notes on some major poets of Shakespeare's time:

  • Edmund Spenser (c. 1552-1599)
  • Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586)*
  • John Donne (1572-1631)*
  • Ben Jonson (1572-1637)*
