In 1826, Poland's national poet, Adam Mickiewicz, wrote a sonnet sequence known as the Crimean Sonnets, after the Tsar sentenced him to internal exile in the Crimean Peninsula.

For the generation of the 1880s it was Jacques Perk's sonnet sequence Mathilde which served as a rallying cry.

1914

A few days later, Boscán began trying to compose sonnets as he rode home and found the form, "of a very capable disposition to receive whatever material, whether grave or subtle or difficult or easy, and in itself good for joining with any style that we find among the approved ancient authors." Nobel Prize-winning Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez wrote Sonetos espirituales 1914–1916 (1916; "Spiritual Sonnets, 1914–15").

1918

Hopkins' poetry was, however, not published until 1918. ===20th century=== This flexibility was extended even further in the 20th century. Irish poet William Butler Yeats wrote the major sonnet "Leda and the Swan", which uses [rhyme]s.

1936

Of these, the best are Hot Rifles, Christ in Uniform, The Alcazar Mined, and Toledo 1936. Half-rhymed, unrhymed, and even unmetrical sonnets have been very popular since 1950; perhaps the best works in the genre are Seamus Heaney's Glanmore Sonnets and Clearances, both of which use half rhymes, and Geoffrey Hill's mid-period sequence "An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England".
