Summary

"This open-access book tells the story of Nicholas Wreden. It also narrates for the first time, using archival sources to rediscover the lives of Wreden and other translators, the history of the translation of Russian literature in America, its critical reception and its assimilation into American novels. Using theory and methodology from contemporary sociology and the emerging sub-discipline of translator studies, this book sets Wreden's exceptional life story within the context of the history of Russian literary influence on the American imagination in the 20th century. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the University of Exeter"-- Provided by publisher.
