Translating a Fact, Creating a Myth: Rosa Newmarch's Images of Russia

The article explores a relatively new domain of poetic translation - vocal (or music-linked) translation, through the study of translations made at the beginning of the twentieth century by the British poet and writer Rosa Newmarch, who began translating Russian poetry into English due to her professional interest in Russian music. A case study of two vocal translations is used to demonstrate how the poetics of translations are affected by the existence of their musical embodiments.
