- Title
TOWN AND COUNTRY: ON TRANSLATING NEKRASOV'S "V DEREVNE".
- Authors
Morse, Ainsley
- Abstract
The translator's note addresses formal and thematic difficulties encountered in the process of translating Nikolai Nekrasov's "V derevne" into English. Characteristically for the poet generally, varieties of speech (including socially-determined and -determining register as well as folkloric elements) are central to the poem and notoriously difficult to translate into a different cultural context. Formal features like rhyme and meter typical of Nekrasov and nineteenth-century Russian poetry more generally are also discussed.
