In 2008 the Modern Humanities Research Association set up a new series, MHRA Tudor & Stuart Translations, whose aim was to re-publish key early modern translations into English of foreign-language works. The Association now wishes to expand this enterprise and to launch a more wide-ranging Translation Series, for which proposals are invited.
MHRA Translations falls into three main categories: first, the series already established: translations into English made during the Tudor and Stuart periods; second, other translations between European languages, normally pre-1900; third, new translations. The guiding principle of the first two categories is to make available translations that had a significant impact on the receiving culture at the time of their publication, but that are now either completely or relatively inaccessible. The guiding principle of the third is to publish new translations into English of important works that have been hitherto imperfectly translated or that are entirely untranslated. Volumes in all the sub-series will be published both online and as print-on-demand publications.
