| book description |

Barbara Bray (1924-2010) was an English woman of letters who translated some hundred novels, plays, and essays from French to English and was Marguerite Durasâ€™s preferred translator. She also collaborated with some of the most prestigious directors and playwrights of the 20th century â€“ Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett, Joseph Losey, and Franco Zeffirelli â€“ helping them write screenplays and radioplays. This literary biography (re)evaluates in a textual, sociological, and historical perspective the social role of an English writer and translator in the history of ideas and contemporary art. Highlighting Brayâ€™s influence in cultural transfers of ideas and literatures between France, Great Britain, and the United States, it renders visible the yet unrecognised work of a female mediator and creator. It nourishes the debate about womenâ€™s public voice and the representation of women in the media industries and contributes to enrich the â€˜otherâ€™ history that is being currently written by feminist scholars around the world.
