@PJFreeth @bornlinguist @OUtranslation TBF there are plenty of celebrity translators in the English-speaking world too (Seamus Heaney's Beowulf etc), but it's rare that they are *solely* translators as in this case. It's an interesting one for sure.
News that stays news.

@brigidsmyth I love Seamus Heaney's translations! I first learned of him from his translation of Beowulf. It was brilliant!💖
