Critical Reactions to and Early Research into Shakespeare’s Bawdy (Wordplay) in Romania(n)
Shakespeare’s wordplay and bawdy have largely been neglected for most of the playwright’s history in Romania. The only mentions made of this topic are often relegated to the occasional brief remark in paratexts or fleeting statements regarding characters that often deploy such language or stylistic device. Therefore, one cannot speak of a Romanian critical tradition in the case of Shakespeare’s obscene vocabulary and ribald puns. However, several hypotheses on the evolution of scholarly and translational attitudes towards these instances of language can be extracted from these sporadic comments and the quantitative and qualitative analyses conducted on the translation of the playwright’s bawdy and wordplay into Romanian. What this article aims to achieve is, on the one hand, to demonstrate that critiques of Shakespeare pun/ bawdy translation long predate contemporary studies of this kind and, on the other, to highlight the premises they give way to, which future research may validate or refute.
