>that feel when the subject of your thesis is pretty much identical to an existing thesis
I just wanted to translate some of the author's work and as I was somewhat forced to engulf it in theory I chose to focus on his style as this was what in my opinion deserved attention.
The same subject has been exploited before, only the person didn't employ his own translations but rather conducted a stylistic analysis of existing ones.
Feels bad and guilty man :(

There's always a risk. A thesis was recently published that covers very similar things that my WIP thesis does. Have to change bits and bobs - luckily there's enough time (physics).
