Most critics thought that Hamlet＇s week personality resulted in the tragedy. Coleridge offered the theory of psychological balance to interpret Hamlet＇s prevarication. He said that Hamlet＇s inner world is too rich to consider the outer world. Shakespeare valued action more than knowledge, and action is the great aim of existence. This profound philosophical and psychological interpretation transcended the forerunners, and enlightened later criticisms on Hamlet.展开更多

The first translation of an English Romantic poem was published in 1831 at the time when Yugoslav peoples were split under foreign governments of Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires and later, during the twentieth century, they were healing the wounds of the two world wars. The English were seen, or wanted to be seen as liberal, rebellious, ready to die for the just cause, through the verses of their major Romantic poets; in both centuries, some of them seemed apposite for translation while encouraging national liberation spirit and social justice, patriotism, and some were read in that key despite the original, thanks to translators＇ efforts to make it look that way. Translators were not solely guided by the assessment of the source culture readership and critics, but by the needs of the target culture too. As a result of such tendencies of adjusting Romantics to national purpose, Byron＇s satirical works remained completely neglected, Wordsworth was primarily seen as a poet of nature, and Coleridge＇s irrational visions were inappropriate for the 20th century dominant communist doctrine relying on rational, material rather than spiritual; Shelley＇s longer poems were not translated in its entirety, only its excerpts, explicitly emphasizing liberty and equality.展开更多
