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

Sonnets originated in Italy during the 13th century, well before Shakespeare wrote his sonnets in the late 16th century. Shakespeare helped make the form famous in English, but he did not invent it, and he wrote in forms other than sonnets. Thus, the accurate fact is that sonnets were invented in Italy before Shakespeare’s time.
