WHAT DOES ENGLISH SONNET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

English sonnet

Sonnet

A sonnet is a poetic form which originated in Italy; the Tuscan humanist, Petrarch, is credited with its invention. The term sonnet is derived from the Italian word sonetto. By the thirteenth century it signified a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. Conventions associated with the sonnet have evolved over its history. Writers of sonnets are sometimes called "sonneteers", although the term can be used derisively.
