This article presents lists of the literary events and publications in 1769. ==Events== * January 21 - First of the Letters of Junius, criticising the government, appears in the ''Public Advertiser'' (London). The identity of Junius remains a mystery but modern scholarly consensus favours Philip Francis. * February–April - John Wilkes is expelled from the Parliament of Great Britain three times. * May - First publication of one of 16-year-old Thomas Chatterton's poems attributed to the imaginary medieval monk "Thomas Rowley", ''Elinoure and Juga'', in Alexander Hamilton's ''Town and Country Magazine''. This year also Chatterton sends specimens of "Rowley"’s poetry and history ''The Ryse of Peyncteynge yn Englade'' to Horace Walpole who at first offers to print them but, discovering Chatterton's age and rightly considering the pieces might be forgeries, later scornfully dismisses him. * September 5–7 - English actor-manager David Garrick stages a Shakespeare Jubilee festival in Stratford-upon-Avon (with no performances of Shakespeare's works). On October 14 a version opens at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London as ''The Jubilee''. * Jean-François Ducis stages Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'' in Paris. 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「1769 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
