Does anyone know about this English translation of THE SEAGULL? Who has done it and when? Is it a pure translation or has it been altered?
I am not sure about the translation on the site
http://www.online-literature.com/ant...khov/sea-gull/
but it is probably by Constance Garnett:

Thanks, but I really need to know for sure who the translator is and what year it was done. I get the feeling that the play has been modernized in this translation, and I would appreciate all the info I can get about this specific translation.
Is there anyway to find out for sure where it comes from?
According to Project Gutenberg there is no translation of The Seagull by Constance Garnett:
http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/g#a2858
But I'm not sure whether they have all her works listed or just some?
No I don't think Gutenberg has all of her translations listed. Some of them are probably not in the public domain (published *after* 1923), hence not on the internet.
There was another discussion of her work here:

oh, and check your email :)
