LEWIS CARROLL’S HUMOROUS VERSES IN UKRAINIAN TRANSLATIONS BY MYKOLA LUKASH IN COMPARISON WITH THEIR LATER EDITORIAL CORRECTIONS BY IVAN MALKOVYCH AND NEWER TRANSLATIONS BY VALENTYN KORNIENKO

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of poetic artistry displayed by the Ukrainian translator Mykola Lukash in his re-creative versions of Lewis Carroll’s humorous verses in the tales about Alice («В країні чудес» and «В задзеркальній країні», 1960). Mykola Lukash’s translations are being closely compared with their later editorial corrections by Ivan Malkovych and newer translations by Valentyn Kornienko. The author draws a parallel between the organic renditions by Mykola Lukash and the
re-creative translation method practiced by the biggest 20th-century reformer of poetic translation poet-modernist Ezra Pound.
