In the present paper, I want to briefly introduce and interpret three important disputes around translations into German: the first one concerns Martin Luther’s translation of the Bible, the second one focuses on the 18th-century discussion around translations of Shakespeare into German, and the third one refers to the fierce polemic on the translation of Lawrence Norfolk’s novel Lemprière’s Dictionary and the criteria for translation criticism that flared up in Germany in the 1990s.}, doi = {10.4467/16891864PC.25.008.21605}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przekladaniec/article/drogi-niemieckiej-krytyki-przekladu-literackiego-prolegomena-do-badan-historyczno-kulturowych} }
