Terence Kilmartin

Terence Kevin Kilmartin CBE (10 January 1922 – 17 August 1991) was an Irish-born translator who served as the literary editor of The Observer between 1952 and 1986.

As literary editor of The Observer, Kilmartin commissioned reviews from Anthony Burgess beginning in 1960[3] and from Martin Amis in the early 1970s.

The revision of the Scott Moncrieff translation of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past by Kilmartin was published in 1981.

The reader is thus enabled to locate almost any reference, such as Hector Berlioz, or The Arabian Nights, or Madame Verdurin in any particular scene or setting, or Versailles.

The volume and page numbers are keyed to the 3-volume Remembrance of Things Past of 1981, translated by Scott Moncrieff and revised by Kilmartin.
