Russian readers' responses to Beryl Bainbridge's novels

In response to the interest shown in Adam Thorpe's account of translating Madame Bovary into English (an article reprinted in Footpath-5) we have decided to devote a special section to translations of modern English literature into Russian together with articles on the process of literature translation. Our first article is on Russian translations of Beryl Bainbridge, author of Master Georgie, who died in 2010. We also publish an article by Oliver Ready of St Antony's College, Oxford University who has translated Dostoevsky into English. His thoughts about translation (in Russian) should be of interest to all readers.
