Interfingering of albic material into the upper part of argillic horizons in Udalfs of New York is interpreted as evidence of degradation by loss of clay proceeding from the top of the horizon downward and from the surfaces of peds inward. These conclusions are based on: (i) albic material lacking oriented clay surrounding ped centers that contain oriented clay; (ii) the volume of albic material decreasing with depth; and (iii) the albic interfingering being least in soils in which high carbonate content is believed to have delayed clay translocation or weathering. The absence of clay skins in the degrading zone—in contrast with thick clay skins rich in fine clay at the Bt‐C horizon boundary—suggests that part of the clay removed at the top is translocated to the bottom of the B horizon. Smaller amounts of inherited mica clays and larger amounts of vermiculite, intergradient clays, and amorphous material in the clay fractions of degraded zones than in the remainder of B horizons indicates some weathering, but losses by this mechanism are believed small.
Although Pushkin is widely regarded as Russia's finest poet and the origin of the modern Russian literary tradition, his works were less frequently translated into English than other major authors. This article traces a reluctance to translate Pushkin to two phenomena: the perception that poetry was untranslatable; and the difficulty of understanding Pushkin within a context dominated by realist prose. It then considers a number of important translations, noting that they were frequently embedded within a discussion of translation theory that itself challenged the myth of transparent translation then dominant in British literary culture. It also argues that alongside literary translation, music played a central role in the reception of Pushkin in Britain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
