Zola, Emile: Therese Raquin. v2, 12 Dec 2017
Emile Zola (1840-1903) was the most prominent French novelist and short story writer of the late 19th century, was a social activist, and was persecuted for his exposure of the Dreyfus Affair.
Edward Vizetelly (1847-1903) was an English war correspondent and writer, who provided a preface and an afterword for this 1902 translation. Thérèse Raquin was Zola's third work, published in 1867, and tells of events before and after a man's murder by his wife's lover. The text was taken from the University of Adelaide ebook library. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced diacritics, and made changes to spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com. Version 2 corrects a mistake in the 'About this ebook' section. This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

Who's the translator? Edward or Ernest Alfred? Or is Edward a mistake? And how did Henry Richard provide material for a translation done after his death?

The author was Edward Vizetelly, (1847-1904). I have been unable to find anything like a biography, or even whether he was part of the Vizetelly family. He is known to have written several travel books, including The Reminiscences of a Bashi-Bazouk, and there are several references to him being the translator for Therese Raquin. One of the references I found was https://readingzola.wordpress.com/ca...etelly-edward/ I'll upload version 2 of Therese Raquin within a day or two. Thanks for drawing the error to my attention. |
