This article presents lists of the literary events and publications in 1637. ==Events== *January - Pierre Corneille's tragicomedy ''Le Cid'' first performed at the Théâtre du Marais in Paris. Based on Guillén de Castro's play ''Las mocedades del Cid'' (1618), it is first published later in the year and sparks the debate of the ''Querelle du Cid'' at the ''Académie française'' over its failure to observe all the classical unities of drama and supposed lack of moral purpose, but proves popular with audiences. *January 24 - ''Hamlet'' is performed before King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria at Hampton Court Palace. *October 2 - The London theatres re-open, having been closed almost continuously since May 1636 because of a severe outbreak of bubonic plague. *December 11 - John Lilburne is arrested following his return from the Netherlands to England for printing and circulating Puritan books (particularly William Prynne's ''News from Ipswich'') not licensed by the Stationers' Company. * The King's Men mount a production for the English Court of William Cartwright's ''The Royal Slave'', a play that was first staged at Christ Church, Oxford the previous year. The company is paid an extra £30 "for their pains in studying and acting" the drama. * Thomas Browne settles in Norwich as a physician. * Willem Blaeu sets up Europe's largest printing house in Amsterdam, specializing in cartography. 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「1637 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
