Pierre Leyris (16 July 1907 – 4 January 2001) was a French translator. The writers who benefited from his talent were, among others, Shakespeare in the complete edition of the Club français du livre, Melville, Jean Rhys, Yeats, Dickens, Stevenson, Hawthorne and De Quincey. He was also an incomparable translator of English-speaking poets, from Milton to T.S. Eliot. His four-volume translation of the works of William Blake, published by Aubier & Flammarion, remains the most complete in French and earned him the 1974 Prix Valery Larbaud.. Source: Wikipedia (en)
