Re: Discipline and Punish

Clare

I have the Penguin edition, which gives the following information:-

This translation first published by Allen Lane 1977
Published in Peregrine Books 1979
Reprinted in Penguin Books 1991

The translator is down as Alan Sheridan (he was Sheridan-Smith earlier, not
later I think).

There was an American Vintage Books edition in 1979 as well I think.

But you're right about the French edition. Sheridan makes some important
slips in his translation.

Hope this is helpful, though I realise it is not complete.

Best wishes

Stuart
