Biographical Note
The PEN Translation Fund was established by PEN America in the summer of 2003 through
a gift from an anonymous donor in response to "the
dismayingly low number of literary translations currently appearing in
English." Its purpose is to promote the publication and reception of
translated world literature in English.
Over the seven years of its existence (to 2010), the Fund has given grants to a total
of 72 translations from 30 languages, including Armenian, Basque, Estonian, Farsi,
Finland–Swedish, Lithuanian and Mongolian, as well as French, Spanish, German,
Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic.
Scope and Content Note
The PEN Translation Fund mss., 2007, 2009–2010, consists of sets of applications for
PEN Translation Fund grants for the years indicated, together with a list of winners
for each year. The competition is open to any literary translator, regardless of
nationality or citizenship, and the original text can be in any language. The
translation must be in English. The files do not include the judges' reactions or
comments, which were confidential.
