This article presents a list of the historical events and publications of literature during 1597. ==Events== *February - Pembroke's Men contract with Francis Langley to play the next year at his new Swan Theatre in London. *March 17 - Following the death of William Brooke, 10th Baron Cobham on March 5, his place as Lord Chamberlain of England is taken by George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, the son of a previous Lord Chamberlain. Lord Hunsdon reverses Cobham's policy of hostility toward the actors of English Renaissance theatre, and returns to his father's policy of general tolerance and patronage. The playing company under Hunsdon's patronage (which includes William Shakespeare and Richard Burbage) becomes the Lord Chamberlain's Men. *April 23 - Feast for the Order of the Garter at the Palace of Whitehall in London; likely occasion for the first performance of Shakespeare's comedy ''The Merry Wives of Windsor''. *c. May 1 - First performance of George Chapman's ''An Humorous Day's Mirth'', the first comedy of humours, by the Admiral's Men at The Rose theatre in London. *July - The season goes disastrously wrong for Pembroke's Men, when they stage the scandalous play ''The Isle of Dogs'' in London, which provokes the authorities to close all of the London theatres for the remainder of the summer. Ben Jonson, co-writer of the play with Thomas Nashe, is arrested on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I of England's "interrogator", Richard Topcliffe, briefly jailed in Marshalsea Prison and charged with "Leude and mutynous behavior". 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「1597 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
