This article presents a list of the historical events and publications of literature during 1599. ==Events== *January 13 - Edmund Spenser dies in London, followed by burial in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey. *Spring/Summer - Globe Theatre built in Southwark, London, utilising material from The Theatre. *June 4 - The Bishops' Ban of 1599: Middleton's ''Microcynicon: Six Snarling Satires'' and Marston's ''Scourge of Villainy'' are publicly burned as the English ecclesiastical authorities crack down on the craze for satire of the past year. The Bishop of London and the Archbishop of Canterbury tighten their enforcement of the existing censorship regime. Earlier, minor works like pamphlets and plays were being published only with the approval of the Wardens of the Stationers Company, and without ecclesiastical review; this arrangement is terminated. *June 7 - John Day kills fellow playwright Henry Porter, allegedly in self-defence. *September 21 - First recorded performance of Shakespeare's ''Julius Caesar'' at the Globe Theatre in London, reported by Swiss traveller Thomas Platter the Younger. * Late - War of the Theatres: Satire, being prohibited in print, breaks out in the London theatres. In ''Histriomastix'', Marston satirizes Jonson’s pride through the character Chrisoganus; Jonson responds by satirizing Marstons's wordy style in ''Every Man out of His Humour'', acted by the Lord Chamberlain's Men.〔A reverse sequence of events is argued in: 〕 * The English comic actor Will Kempe leaves the Lord Chamberlain's Men earlier in the year, to be replaced by Robert Armin by its end (probably). * King James VI of Scotland arranges for a company of English players to erect a playhouse and perform in his country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1599 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
