Proposals. For New Translations, proposals are invited from prospective authors who should submit a completed Book Proposal Form. The work to be translated or re-translated should be aesthetically or intellectually important. The proposal should cover such issues as copyright and, where relevant, an account of the faults of the previous translation(s); it should be accompanied by independent statements from two experts in the field attesting to the significance of the original work (in cases where this is not obvious) and to the desirability of a new or renewed translation. Translations should be accompanied by a fairly substantial introduction and other, briefer, apparatus: a note on the translation; a select bibliography; a chronology of the author’s life and works; and notes to the text. (The Oxford University Press World’s Classics could serve as a model.) The MHRA would especially encourage submissions for translations from ‘smaller’ languages.
