Anthony Briggs
Professor Tony Briggs, Senior Research Fellow at Bristol University, has written, translated or edited more than twenty books on Russian and English literature. After gaining a reputation as a leading authority on Alexander Pushkin, he has turned to Tolstoy in recent years, writing for Penguin Books. His translation of 'Resurrection' is in press, 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and Other Stories' has just been published, and his translation of 'War and Peace' (2005) has been widely acclaimed and described by an American critic as 'the best translation so far of Tolstoy's masterpiece into English.
