39、onnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in lyric poetry originating from Italy, and it originally means “little song”. By the 13th century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. Giacomo da Lentini is credited with the in
40、vention of the sonnet. His poetry concerns courtly, chivalrous love. Other Italian poets of the time, including Dante Alighieri (12651321) and Guido Cavalcanti (c. 12501300) wrote sonnets, but the most famous early sonneteer was Petrarca (known in English as Petrarch 1304-1374).

In the early 16th century, sonnets were introduced intoEngland by Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542).Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1516-1547) gave them the rhyming meter, and division into quatrains that now characterizes the English sonnet.

Modernism takes the irrational philosophy and the theory of psycho-analysis as its theoretical base.
