> Does anyone know of a source on the translator Constance Garnett? A colleague is writing a book on the British Museum's Reading Room and the early women writers, translators, and scholars who were associated with it, and it seems that our very own Garnett plays an important role. How did she learn Russian? Who did she translate first? Who was the publisher? Any leads are appreciated. Thank you.

There is a superb letter, written by her to Joseph Conrad on Dec. 30, 
1897, about the affinity between the brains (!) of Conrad and Tourgenev.

It's available online, p. 28:
