Abstract
Comparing Srečko Kosovel's poems with their English translations
This master's thesis focuses on the oeuvre of the Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel. It presents the development of his poetry and the avantgarde movements that influenced it (futurism, impressionism, expressionism, zenitism, dadaism, constructivism and surrealism). I analyze and comment on a selection of poems representing these movements, alongside their English translations, offering my own suggestions. I also explore how different translators approach translating poetry, focusing mostly on what and how much is lost in the process.
