The article deals with the analysis of the interpretation of the famous Thomas Campbell's ballad «Lord Ullin’s Daughter» (which was published in 1809) made by V. A. Zhukovsky in 1833. The English author intentionally gives geographical details and it helps him to make an impression that the ballad was created on the shore where the action took place, while the Russian interpreter doesn’t give many topographical descriptions and misses the detailed description of the place which was effectively made by Campbell in order to make this composition more understandable for Russian readers. V. A. Zhukovsky made his translation shorter, reached the laconicism and impetuosity of the narration, deleted extra details, made the main characters more individual, gave them proper names, made stronger Campbell's illegible sound images, gave successive original actions the sharp beginning and final, found cause and effect connections.
