V.A.MERKHURJEVA AS A TRANSLATOR OF P.B.SHELLY’S POEMS
The article considers the peculiarities of the great English poet of the XIX century, P.B.Shelly in the interpretation of V.A. Merkhurjeva exemplified by the poem «The Ode to the West Wind». It points out that despite the fact that some meaningful literary details were omitted, V.A. Merkhurjeva as a translator was able to depict tonality of description in poliyical poems by P.B.Shelly requiring deep thoughtful reading. V.A. Merkhurjeva pays attention to rhythmicity of Shelly's poetry, her ability to reproduce subtly the state of expectation of forthcoming changes as well as the active use of tropes and figures of speech. However, the poem translated by V.A. Merkhurjeva has lost the inherent musicality and expressiveness of the original.
