This article presents a list of the historical events and publications of literature during 1745. ==Events== *September 21 - Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock delivers a speech on epic poetry – ''Abschiedsrede über die epische Poesie, kultur- und literargeschichtlich erläutert'' – to mark his leaving school. *October 19 - Jonathan Swift, Irish satirist and Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, dies aged 78. His body is laid out in public for the people of Dublin to pay their last respects, and he is buried, in accordance with his wishes, in his cathedral by Esther Johnson's side with his own epitaph: ''Ubi sæva Indignatio / Ulterius / Cor lacerare nequit'' ("where savage indignation can no longer lacerate the heart"). *November 17 - In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg of the Moravian Church asks innkeeper Samuel Powell to begin importing and distributing books, the origins of a bookstore which continues in existence as of 2007. *The London theatres stage competing productions of Shakespeare's ''King John'' in response to the Jacobite rising begun this summer by Bonnie Prince Charlie. David Garrick's production of the original text at Drury Lane contrasts with Colley Cibber's adaptation ''Papal Tyranny in the Reign of King John'' at Covent Garden. The rivalry anticipates "the ''Romeo and Juliet'' war" of five years later. 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「1745 in literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
