English author William Shakespeare ranks as perhaps the most famous writer in the history of English literature. Shakespeare earned recognition from his late 16th- and early 17th-century contemporaries writing plays, but may have looked to poetry for enduring fame. His poetic efforts include a series of 154 sonnets, in which he developed the Shakespearian sonnet as a new poetic form, arranged with three quatrains and a couplet. Sonnet 18 (recited by an actor) comes from The Sonnets of Shakespeare (printed in 1609).
