In a strange other world. Urszula Kochanowska by Bolesław Leśmian translated into English
View through CrossRef
The article focuses on English translations of Bolesław Leśmian’s Urszula Kochanowska, especially those by Marian Polak-Chlabicz and Krzysztof Bartnicki. The author of the article aims to
achieve a critical comparison between different translation strategies ventured to conquer the diffi culties associated with translating this verse, which is strongly connected with Polish culture and
literature. The close-reading of the translations is accompanied by a short outline of Leśmian’s
existence in English language along with an attempt to answer the question of whether translating
his poetic language is at all possible or is Leśmian’s work an evident proof (as many critics say)
of the phenomenon known as untranslatability.
