Dr Cathy McAteer is Postdoctoral Fellow on the ‘Dark Side of Translation’ project (rustrans.exeter.ac.uk) at the University of Exeter. Her main research interests lie in the field of classic Russian literature in English translation during the 20th century, using archival material to shed light on the people and processes behind historical commissions, specifically Penguin’s Russian Classics. Her academic monograph, Translating Great Russian Literature: The Penguin Russian Classics, was published by Routledge as Open Access in 2021. Dr McAteer is currently researching the private, archived papers of 20th-century female translators of Russian literature as the basis for her next publication.
