Hating on P&V has become a meme. I thought the translations were competent and enjoyable. There is far, far worse out there. I read one "modernized" version of the Gambler that was so butchered it was like reading a YA novel.

Has it? Using P&V-fueled/-inspired superiority to hate on Victorian translations (or anything non-P&V, really—including e.g. Magarshack) seems to have a lot more meme energy than the reverse.

You linked to the same anecdote with more words.

>>slotht+EP
Yes. And there's an orange bar across the top of HN.

Were you expecting something else from a link labeled "Previously"?

I was expecting something not completely redundant, like something to support your pov.
