CHUMINA AS A TRANSLATOR OF ELIZABETH BARRET BROWNING'S POEMS
The article contains the analysis of O.N.Chumina's translations of the following poems by Elizabeth Barret Browning: «Irreparableness», «Tears», «The Prisoner», «Insufficiency», «A Rhapsody of Life's Progress», «The Romance of the Swan's Nest». The analysis of O.N.Chumina's translations results in the conclusion that despite the fact that some meaningful literary details were omitted, O.N.Chumina as a translator was able to depict tonality of description in philosophic poems by Elizabeth Barret Browning requiring deep thoughtful reading. O.N.Chumina was the first to draw attention to aphoristic character of Elizabeth Barret Browning's poetry, her ability to reproduce subtly the emotional state of her characters as well as the active use of tropes and figures of speech. However, some poems translated by O.N.Chumina have lost their inherent energy, psychological tension and expressiveness of the original.
