Adrienne Dixon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adrienne Dixon (29 June 1932 - 16 September 1990) was a translator of Dutch and Flemish literature into English. She translated the work of Cees Nooteboom and other authors, including Harry Mulisch. She received the Martinus Nijhoff Prize in 1974 for her translations of Mulisch and Louis Paul Boon.
"Dixon is one of the most prolific translators of Dutch fiction... One reviewer even suggested that she should be honoured for what she has done 'to reclaim contemporary Dutch fiction for anglophone readers'."[1]
