This article presents lists of the literary events and publications in 1642. ==Events== *May - 35-year-old John Milton marries the teenage Mary Powell. A few weeks later she leaves him in London and returns to her family in Oxfordshire.〔 〕 *May–June - English Cavalier poet Richard Lovelace is incarcerated in the Gatehouse Prison, Westminster for defying Parliament, during which time he perhaps writes "To Althea, from Prison". *September 2 - The theatres in London are closed by the Puritan government; the "lascivious mirth and levity" of stage plays are to "cease and be forborn" for the next eighteen years, during the English Civil War and the Interregnum. Reportedly Richard Brome's ''A Jovial Crew'' is staged on the final day, and so is the last play performed during the era of English Renaissance theatre. *John Denham's ''Cooper's Hill'' is the first example in English of a poem devoted to local description, in this case the Thames scenery around the author's home at Egham in Surrey. 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「1642 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
