Explanation:

Petrarch's sonnets often centered on unrequited love. Wyatt's unrequited - love influenced his poetry. Spenser was one of the most popular poets, went to Cambridge University, was part of an intellectual circle, invented the Spenserian sonnet (a variation of the Italian sonnet, with 3 quatrains and a couplet and a specific rhyme - scheme), wrote in an archaic style to make his poetry sound more elevated, and his The Faerie Queene was a tribute to Queen Elizabeth I and English virtues. Sidney wrote literary criticism, argued poets could create worlds parallel to the real world. Shakespeare was known for his plays and sonnets.
