Looking for Helen Lowe-Porter?

She’s not here anymore. I wrote a post on her a couple years ago after reading a dissertation about her translations of Thomas Mann. Even though it was basically just a hastily jotted note, it climbed nearly to the top of the Google results (second only to Wikipedia) and I decided it didn’t belong there because it wasn’t carefully written or informative enough.

The important part of that post was the link to John Gledhill’s dissertation, which you can get to from here if you want to know what all the fuss is about!
