    When English sonnets were introduced in the early 16th century, Thomas Wyatt and the Earl of Surrey translated sonnets from Italian and French into English. While Wyatt introduced the form, Surrey established the rhyming meter and structural division into quatrains that characterize the typical English sonnet. Both poets' sonnets were first published in 1557 in Richard Tottel's Songes and Sonnetts, better known as Tottel's Miscellany, having previously only circulated in manuscripts.

    When English sonnets were introduced by Thomas Wyatt in the early 16th century, his sonnets and

    those of his contemporary the Earl of Surreywere chiefly translations from the Italian of Petrarch and
    the French of Ronsard and others. While Wyatt introduced the sonnet into English, it was Surrey
    who gave it a rhyming meter, and a structural division into quatrains of a kind that now characterize
    the typical English sonnet. Having previously circulated in manuscripts only, both poets' sonnets
    were first published in Richard Tottel's Songes and Sonnetts, better known as Tottel's
    Miscellany (1557).
