Scott Moncrieff Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scott Moncrieff Prize, named after the translator Charles Scott Moncrieff, is an annual £2,000 literary prize for French to English translation, awarded to one or more translators every year for a full-length work deemed by the Translators Association to have "literary merit". Only translations first published in the United Kingdom are considered for the accolade.

Sponsors of the prize include the French Ministry of Culture, the French Embassy, and the Arts Council of England. Past recipients include Gilbert Adair for his translation of La Disparition and Linda Asher for her translation of Milan Kundera's Ignorance.
