Re: Thomas Mann: Royal Highness
Interesting, Eric. I quite like the idea that the translator is a woman. A quick check on amazon tells me she also translated books by Arthur Emanuel Christensen (Danish?). No wiki help for him either!
This edition has a postscript by Constance McNab which is not dated and is biographical in nature rather than discussing what she did to "revise" the book. There are not any footnotes on the pages, which I am glad of, but they could have given clues as to what she revised.
Further searches show that Constance McNab was also a translator, e.g. Michelangelo [by] Rolf Schott. So did she revise the translation, I wonder!
