This article presents lists of the literary events and publications in 1819. ==Events== * April - John Keats begins his "Great Year" or "Living Year", during which he is at his most productive, having given up work at Guy's Hospital and taken up residence at a new house, Wentworth Place, on Hampstead Heath on the edge of London. On April 3, Charles Wentworth Dilke lets his house, next door to Keats, to Mrs Brawne, whose daughter Fanny would become the love of Keats' life. Between April 21 and the end of May Keats writes ''La Belle Dame sans Merci'' and most of his major odes: ''Ode to Psyche'', ''Ode on a Grecian Urn'', ''Ode to a Nightingale'', ''Ode on Indolence'' and ''Ode on Melancholy''. In the summer he writes ''Lamia''; on September 19 he writes his ode ''To Autumn'' at Winchester; and on October 19 proposes marriage to Fanny. * April 1 - In London ''The New Monthly Magazine'' publishes John Polidori's Gothic fiction ''The Vampyre'', the first significant piece of prose vampire literature in English, attributing it to Lord Byron (who partly inspired it). It is first published in book form later in the year. * June 23 - Washington Irving begins publishing ''The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.'' in seven installments — the first including "Rip Van Winkle" and a later one including "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" — simultaneously in New York and London (where Irving is living at this time). * August 16 - The Peterloo Massacre takes place in England, inspiring Percy Bysshe Shelley, in Italy, who, like Keats, has one of his most productive years. After hearing the news on September 5 he writes ''The Masque of Anarchy'' and sends it to a newspaper (although it is not published until 1832, after his death), also writing the political sonnet ''England in 1819'' (published 1839), ''Ode to the West Wind'' (published 1820), ''The Cenci: A Tragedy, in Five Acts'' (printed in Italy, but not first performed publicly until 1922) and ''Julian and Maddalo'' (published in his ''Posthumous Poems'' of 1824) and beginning his prose work ''A Philosophical View of Reform''. * October - In Britain, Richard Carlile is convicted of blasphemy and sent to prison for publishing ''The Age of Reason'' by Thomas Paine. * Joseph Perl's epistolary novel ''Megalleh Temirim'' ("Revealer of Secrets"), written under the name "Obadiah ben Pethahiah" and published in Vienna, is the first novel in the Hebrew language. * The publisher Collins is founded as a printer of religious literature in Glasgow by William Collins. * W. & R. Chambers, established by brothers William Chambers of Glenormiston and Robert Chambers in Edinburgh, begin publishing. 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「1819 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
