Since Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 is a poem, shouldn't it be in quotation marks and not italicized. 64.85.225.94 (talk) 16:50, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done I think so. It depends on if a sonnet is considered a major work. See MOS:ITALICTITLE. Long poems on Wikipedia are italicized. I'm not an expert, but I think sonnets are relatively short, so you would be correct Toddst1 (talk) 16:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
