Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a comparative study of the collection of poems Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939) by T. S. Eliot and the collection of children’s verses Mother Goose Old Nursery Rhymes (published in 1760), compiled and illustrated by A. Rackham (1913). Consisting of 15 poems, and distinguished by its frivolity against the background of other works by Eliot, the cycle Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats has been overlooked by both Russian and foreign researchers for a long time. Recently a surge of interest in this book of verse has been provoked by the release of a feature film Cats (2019) based on the world-famous musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. This fact as well as the lack of serious academic studies of Eliot’s book of verse has determined the urgency and novelty of this paper. It is also important to show the involvement of this segment of Eliot’s poetry into the English literary tradition. The aim of this research is to identify the influence of Victorian aesthetics of nonsense on the poetry of T. S. Eliot’s cycle. The method of comparative analysis has been chosen as the main research method. Besides, structural-semantic and linguistic-cultural methods have been used. In understanding and interpreting the term “tradition” the author relies on Eliot’s aesthetics, in which this concept is central. The terminological unit “nursery rhymes” is used in its original traditional meaning since its historical and cultural background disappears in any Russian translation or scholarly interpretation. In the course of work, certain features of nursery rhymes have been identified in the poetic texts by the great Modernist. The study of the specificity of this genre (the playful atmosphere of the text, the special rhythms and forms of coding historical events, animalistic perspectives, the use of various repetitions and imitations, the creation of author’s occasionalisms and unusual names of characters, etc.) confirms strong influence of the tradition of English nursery rhymes on T. S. Eliot’s works.

Abstract:
The growing interest in the Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats poetic cycle by T. S. Eliot, associated with the theatrical release of the film Cats in 2019, which is based on the musical under the same name by E. L. Webber, as well as the lack of serious academic research on the poetics of the great modernist poet’s cycle, determine the novelty and relevance of this study. The article provides a comparative analysis of Russian translations (by A. Sergeev, S. Dubovitskaya, V. Betaki, S. Sapozhnikov) of poetic refrains in the poems included in the cycle. The research is based on the material presented in the annotated, authoritative edition of Eliot’s poetry full collection The Poems of T. S. Eliot (Volume Two, 2015), compiled and edited by one of the leading modern Eliot researchers Christopher Ricks. The analysis is focused on such aspects as the degree of translation accuracy, the refrain subject structure, professional challenges and translation decisions adopted by the authors to convey the typical characteristics of English children’s folk poetry (nursery rhymes), the traditions of which Eliot follows. This article also discusses various approaches to defining refrain. Existing in many forms and having various goals, the refrain is a universal graphic and expressive tool that is used to highlight the main theme of the work and create its structure, in order to bring any important points to the attention of the reader and to facilitate their memorization. The translators’ desire to reproduce all the signs of the original refrain: the poetic structure, graphic highlighting of components that are significant for the author, the rhyming methods and the refrain emotional reflection, makes it possible to embody the features of children’s folk poetry as a literary tradition on which the stylistic unity of all the texts included in the cycle is based.

Abstract:
Knjiga starog mačka o mačkama svakodnevnim (Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, 1939.) zbirka je pjesama Thomasa Stearnsa Eliota, velikana engleskoga pjesništva prve polovice dvadesetoga stoljeća. Izvorno namijenjene djeci, Eliotove pjesme o mačkama interpretativno su bogate i kao takve zahvalno štivo za raznoliku publiku. Ovaj rad bavi se pitanjem imena i identiteta oslanjajući se na književno-animalističko iščitavanje Eliotovih stihova pri čemu se uočava negiranje antropocentrične hijerarhije živih bića. Baveći se identitetom personificiranih mačaka, Eliot potiče čitatelja na humanije razmišljanje o mačkama i svojim živopisnim prikazima mačjih tipova i dogodovština upućuje na to da je njihov život jednako vrijedan i opterećen sličnim problemima kao što su ljudski, evocirajući ono što će se tek desetljećima kasnije nazivati bioetičkim egalitarizmom, posthumanizmom i teorijom identiteta. Dok u pojedinim književnim tekstovima mačke figuriraju samo kao simboli dobre ili loše sreće, smrti, čarobnjaštva, i sličnoga, kod Eliota one su punopravna živa bića koja dijele ovaj zemaljski dom s ljudima i drugim neljudskim bićima.

Abstract:
Each literary era is characterized by certain models of literary animalism with their own semantic accents and symbolism, types of communication “man — animal”, genre preferences. The article examines the features of literary felinistics of the Art Nouveau era, identifies the cultural and social causes of artistic felinophilia. As a material for the study there were three texts written in the period from 1869 to 1939, considered both in the wide cultural context of the modern era, and within the boundaries of their time (modern): “Ménagerie intime”, 1869 by Gaultier T., “The Cats of Copenhagen’’ (1936) by Joyce J. and “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” (1939) by Eliot T. S. In the course of our research, we relied on both historical and literary works devoted to the analysis of specific animalistic images, works of a culturological nature, and also turned to the experience of structuralist studies and the ideas of new posthumanistic knowledge (Human-Animal Studies). The animalistic texts of Gauthier — Joyce — Eliot unite not only the acting cat characters, but also certain artistic perspectives, similar types of human-animal relationships, social and cultural contexts in which their heroes are represented. The feline characters of Gauthier-Joyce-Eliot have much in common: they are anthropomorphic inhabitants of the urban space of the industrial era, leading an appropriate lifestyle and possessing qualities inherent in the middle class. Gautier, Joyce, Eliot’s cats have a bright personality, extraordinary abilities, a lively mind, a rich emotional world, they live according to the laws of human society. They are attractive, intelligent, vital, civilized individuals with unique, eccentric characters (humors).
