Accessed 28 February 2013〕 *In response to events of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, John Dryden's topical play ''Amboyna'', about events in the East Indies, is reportedly "contrived and written in a month" — certainly one of the fastest acts of solo dramatic composition known. The drama is premièred onstage in May.〔(Poetry Foundation: John Dryden ). Accessed 28 February 2013〕 *Elkanah Settle's tragedy ''The Empress of Morocco'', premièred on July 3 at the Dorset Gardens Theatre in London by the Duke's Company, is published in quarto; in addition to its frontispiece illustration, the quarto contains five woodcuts depicting scenes in the play — the first English play text illustrated in this way. Settle's play also inspires a farce with the same title, probably by Thomas Duffet, performed by the King's Company and published the following year. * Archpriest Petrovich Avvakum writes his ''Zhitie'' (Life) as the first Russian autobiography. * Antonio Magliabechi is appointed librarian to Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. 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「1673 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
