The Master & Margarita Translations

Wed May 2 17:23:30 UTC 2012

Dear Colleagues:

Next year I will be teaching an undergraduate course in which the students will be reading THE MASTER & MARGARITA in translation.  If you have used the novel in a course, which English translation have you found to be the most successful?  By successful I mean a generally faithful translation that captures the humor and satire, but also provides some additional background information.  As a reminder the choices are the Ginsburg, Glenny, Peavar/Volokhonsky, or Burgin/O'Connor translation. I would appreciate any recommendations.  Please reply to me off list at cynthia.ruder at uky.edu<mailto:cynthia.ruder at uky.edu>.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best, Cindy
