This is especially true when the subject at hand is controversial, as it is in the case of queer sexuality. Here, a sensitive subject to approach through poetry stayed sensitive as an object of critical inquiry in the twentieth century. This article combines research done in the fields of translation studies and queer theory, and it reevaluates the domesticating translations of some poems by Arthur Rimbaud, Stefan George, and Federico García Lorca to uncover an intense endurance of denial and censorship in the translations of modern poetry. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Neophilologus is a copyright of Springer, 2014.
