Reviews

This is an impressive, thoroughly documented, highly readable study of eight women who collectively dedicated decades to bridging the literary, cultural, and political gap between the USSR, the UK, and the United States across the twentieth century … this book is a valuable, even pioneering, addition to the sum of knowledge on translator history from below. * Modern Language Review *
