第41~45為題組    A sonnet is a poem that is almost invariably made up of fourteen lines. In the English or Shakespearean sonnet, four divisions are used: three quatrains and a rhymed concluding couplet. The typical rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. The Spenserian sonnet complicates the Shakespearean form, linking rhymes among the quatrains: abab bcbc cdcd ee. The Spenserian sonnet is very rare; among modern poets of any distinction, Richard Wilbur is virtually alone in using the form.   The sonnet developed in Italy probably in the thirteen century. Petrarch, in the fourteen century, raised it to its greatest perfection and gave it, for English readers at least, his name. The form was introduced into England by Thomas Wyatt, who translated Petrarchan sonnets and left more than thirty of his own compositions in English. Surrey, an associate, shares with Wyatt the credit for introducing the form to England and is important as an early modifier of the Italian sonnet. Gradually the Italian sonnet pattern was changed, and, because Shakespeare attained for the greatest poems of this modified type, his name has often been given to the English form. Among the most famous sonneteers in England have been Sydney, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Keats, D. G. Rossetti, Geoffrey Hill, and so on.   Certain poets following the example of Petrarch have written a series of sonnets linked to one another and dealing with a single, although sometimes generalized, subject. Such series are called Sonnet Sequences. Some of the most famous in English literature are Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella, Spenser’s Amoretti, Rossetti’s House of Life, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese, etc.
