The Best WAR & PEACE English Translation of All Time?

[Sarah Hurst]

That's great, you've scored a point against her for her qualification.

It's a shame Russian literature experts can't be a bit more welcoming of
some mainstream media publicity for the debate over translations of Tolstoy,
instead of dissing someone who's gone to the trouble of reading the new
translation and comparing it with another one for the purposes of informing
the general reader.

Ha! It turns out she has an MFA from Columbia. 

So, objectively, she is a "writing program" type, unlike say, Lev
Nikolaevich.
