About the Book

Known above all for his translations of Proust, Charles Scott Moncrieff also had his own poetry, short stories and war serials regularly published in literary periodicals. Here for the first time is a collection of these, put together with an introduction by Jean Findlay, author Chasing Lost Time - the life of CK Scott Moncrieff, Soldier, Spy and Translator (Chatto and Windus 2014, Vintage 2015, Farrar Straus and Giroux 2015)


About the Author: Jean Findlay was born in Edinburgh. She studied Law and French at Edinburgh University and Theatre under Tadeusz Kantor in Cracow, Poland. She co-founded an award winning theatre company and wrote and produced plays which toured to London, Berlin, Bonn, Rotterdam, Dublin, Glasgow and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. She wrote drama and book reviews for the Scotsman, and has written for the Independent, Time Out, the Guardian and Performance magazine. For work in progress on Chasing Lost Time she won a Hyam Wingate Award, an Authors Foundation Award and was shortlisted for the Alistair Horne Fellowship at Oxford University. She lives in Scotland with her husband; together they have six children. She is the great-great-niece of CK Scott Moncrieff. Charles Scott Moncrieff was born in 1889 in Stirlingshire, Scotland. He published poetry in periodicals from the age of 16. He served as a Captain in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers during the First World War and from the trenches wrote trenchant literary criticism, humorous war poetry and war serials. Wounded out, working at the War Office he continued to contribute short stories for TS Eliot's Criterion, CK Chesterton's New Witness and JC Squire's London Mercury. Later as an editor on The Times, he translated the Song of Roland and Beowulf and started on Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, a work that was to make him famous. Working as a spy in Italy from 1923, he translated Proust, Stendhal, Abelard and Eloise and much of Pirandello. He died in Rome in 1930.
