Frank Davison (translator)

Frank Davison was a British translator. He is best known for his translation of Alain-Fournier's classic novel Le Grand Meaulnes under the title The Lost Domain.[1] This translation, first published by Oxford University Press in 1959, has remained in print ever since. It is the "classic" translation of the work, praised for its "fine literary English." A review by L.A. Brisson in French Studies called Davison's translation of Alain-Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes "reussit à merveille" – "wonderfully successful".[2]
