Erin is writing about the history of sonnets. Which is a fact Erin can include in her history?

Sonnets originated in Italy in the 13th century, well before Shakespeare wrote in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Shakespeare became a famous sonnet writer, but he did not invent the form, write only sonnets, or create sonnets without rhyme patterns. Therefore, “Sonnets were invented in Italy before Shakespeare’s time” is the fact Erin can include.
