This article presents a list of the historical events and publications of literature during 1661. ==Events== *August 24 - Samuel Pepys sees the new production of ''Hamlet'' by Sir William Davenant's troupe of actors, the Duke's Company, with the innovation of stage scenery. The Duke's Company have recently moved from the Salisbury Court Theatre to the theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields, where they have been joined by Thomas Betterton; Pepys praises Betterton's Prince Hamlet as "beyond imagination." *December 28 - Controversial author James Harrington is arrested on a charge of conspiracy. *The Book of Kells (ca. 800) is presented to Trinity College, Dublin. *Bishop John Gauden claims authorship of ''Eikon Basilike'' (1649). *Third edition of Izaak Walton's ''The Compleat Angler''. *The trend toward closet drama (often highly politicized), which distinguished the English Civil War and Interregnum periods, does not immediately end once the theatres re-open with the Restoration — as the publication of ''Hell's High Court of Justice'' (below) illustrates. *Abraham Cowley's pamphlet ''The Advancement of Experimental Philosophy'' helps inspire the foundation of the Royal Society. *The library of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, is opened to the public at Cölln as the "Library of the Elector" ((ドイツ語:Churfürstliche Bibliothek zu Cölln an der Spree)), foundation of the Berlin State Library. *A legal deposit obligation is laid on publishers in Sweden. 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「1661 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
