Talk:Hilda Ward

Mademoiselle O
Hilda Ward helped to translate Mademoiselle O by Vladimir Nabokov from French to English. It was one of his first English publications.

Nabokov's biographer wrote that Hilda Ward, a translator, was introduced to Nabokov by Elena Mogilat, a teacher of Russian in Colombia. 37.190.50.157 (talk) 16:01, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I am looking for "facts" and have learned that someone introduced Nabokov to intelligent and enthusiastic women at Columbia U and that Ward helped translate the work from Russian, rather than from French. This suggests to me that the translator Ward is different from out Hilda.  But I am still looking. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
