章节摘录

The italicized phrase could restrict either the clause before or after it; a moderneditor will assign it to one or the other, but Shakespeare had it both ways.  The lexical and syntactic flexibility available to Shakespeare did not outlasthim by long. In the seventeenth century, several dictionaries were printed withan increasing number of entries beyond the specialized vocabularies of the 'hardword' lists, and by the eighteenth century everyday words were also included. Atthe same time, grammars began to appear which at first merely apply the rulesof Latin grammar to English, but then codify rules specifically for English. InI665, the Royal Society impanelled a committee of poets and philosophers tooversee the improvement of the language. Its aims were indicative of the new lin-guistic tide, condemning all 'amplifications, digressions, and swellings of style',and prescribing as ideals 'brevity and purity',s In addition it called for aneconomy of expression altogether antithetical to the repetitive practices we havebeen tracing: 'so many things almost in an equal number of words'. Shakespearedid not fare well under the new regime. Indeed the literature of the Elizabethanage in general was deemed 'barbaric' and in need of rehabilitation and refine-ment. It is in this age that Shakespeare's plays were rewritten for the stageaccording to new linguistic as well as literary criteria; and soon after began themassive editorial labour of 'correcting' what had-come to be judgedShakespeare's errors, excesses, and irregularities.   In this new cultural climate, there was one feature of Shakespeare's style thatrepeatedly came under critical fire: wordplay. The pun in particular was repeat-edly singled out as a 'fault' or 'vice' of Shakespeare and hisage. In retrospect, wecan understand why this prominent Shakespearian feature proved such an irri-tAnt to succeeding ages, The pun is unruly, working in violation of both diction-ary and grammar. Take, for example, Hamlet's famous pun on sun/son.
