Events

[edit]
  • Scottish poet James Thomson moves to London, where he continues writing verse and becomes a playwright, living first in East Barnet and later Richmond in 1736.[1]
  • Edward Taylor, a puritan minister in Westfield, a small settlement in Western Massachusetts, concludes his private spiritual verse diary, begun in 1682. He forbids his family from publishing the work after his death, and none of it sees publication for two centuries.[2] When it is finally published, according to Robert Hass, many are surprised by its quality, although "the assessments of how good he was were quite mixed".[3]
