The Tartar Steppe

Italian true first: Rizzoli, Milan–Rome, 1940. The first English translation is Stuart C. Hood's, published in 1952 by Secker & Warburg, London, and Farrar, Straus and Young, New York. Precedence between the two is not established: the translation's setting was made and printed in Great Britain by William Clowes and Sons of London and Beccles, which is suggestive of British priority (and of the US issue possibly using imported sheets), but no source consulted states which appeared first, so both 1952 issues should be treated as collected and precedence left open. 'First thus' trap: the Lawrence Venuti translation (2023) is a new text, not a reissue of the Hood first.
