What is the best translation of Eugene Onegin?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the James E. Falen translation (1990) of Eugene Onegin is the best place to start: James Falen's Oxford translation is the one I'd start with — it reproduces Pushkin's tricky 'Onegin stanza' in colloquial, sparkling English that actually reads like the witty poem it is. Hofstadter's favorite, and most readers'. This is where I'd start. For most faithful to the verse, consider Charles Johnston (1977). For most literal, consider Vladimir Nabokov (1964). For worthy alternative, consider Stanley Mitchell (2008).
