Later examples of those writing substantial numbers of sonnets in the US number the scholar N. B. Minkoff, who included a sonnet cycle in Lieder (1924), his first publication after immigrating, [142] and Aron Glantz-Leyeles (1899–1968), who published a whole collection of poems in mediaeval forms in 1926.
For that generation, Milton's example was the one generally followed, although the long history of the Italian sonnet was not forgotten, especially among women writers. Charlotte Smith incorporated a few translations from Petrarch among her Elegiac Sonnets , [ 4 ] while Anna Seward 's sonnet "Petrarch to Vaucluse" is an imitation written in the ...

Another form of sestet has only two rhymes, ABABAB, as is the case in Gray's famous sonnet On the Death of Richard West. The sestet marks the turn of emotion in the sonnet. As a rule, with the octave having been ...
