This article presents a list of the historical events and publications of literature during 1581. ==Events== *January - Francis Bacon takes his seat as an MP in the Parliament of England for the Cornish pocket borough of Bossiney. *Torquato Tasso's epic poem ''Jerusalem Delivered'' (''La Gerusalemme liberata'') is first published complete, a pirated edition printed in Parma being followed by an authorized edition from Ferrara, where the poet is confined in the Ospedale di Sant'Anna.〔Oxford World's Classics ed.〕 Also this year, Aldus Manutius the Younger prints a selection of Tasso's lyrics and prose in Venice. *Stationer Thomas Marsh publishes ''Seneca's Tragedies in English'', a collected edition of ten dramas written by Seneca the Younger (or attributed to him), translated by Jasper Heywood, John Studley, Alexander Neville, Thomas Newton, and Thomas Nuce. Most of the texts have been printed previously, from 1559 onward; but Newton's version of ''Thebais'' is new, and earlier printed texts of Studley's versions of ''Hercules Oetaeus'' and ''Hippolytus'', if they ever existed, have not survived. *John Dee starts to write ''Libri mysteriorum I-XVIII'' (Spiritual Diaries). *First record of bookselling at No. 1, Trinity Street, Cambridge, England; it will continue to be a bookshop for at least 430 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cambridge.org/about-us/visit-bookshop/history-bookshop/ )〕 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「1581 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
