History / Biographical NoteBiographical / HistoricalThe Marlboro Press was a small publishing house founded in 1982 by writer and translator Austryn Wainhouse in Marlboro, Vermont. Committed to translating and publishing little-known or little-remembered works of European fiction and non-fiction, the press developed a catalogue of titles that included works by authors such as Curzio Malaparte, Robert Antelme, Joseph Conrad, Fernando Camon, Mario Rigoni Stern, Karen Malpede, Louis Calaferte, Emmanuel Bove, and Pierre Jean Jouve. With the help of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Press both commissioned translations and published others, including several works by the well-known translator Lydia Davis. In the 1990s, the Press was folded into the Northwestern University Press, which continued to distribute its catalogue of titles after Austryn Wainhouse retired in 2001. |
