This article appears to have been written by someone who wishes to promote the work of John E Woods. The same hand was (before I modified it) at work in the article on Mann's Doctor Faustus. I have there removed the unreferenced expressions of opinion, which had remained for several months despite a clear challenge in the discussion page. In the present article I have posted requests for citations on the contents of statements which appear to be statements of editor opinion without reference. As this article is about H T Porter Lowe (d 1963) the work of John E Woods, whose translations belong to a later generation, cannot have any bearing except in a posthumous comparison, which would require citation for reference in wikipedia.

This article has been thoroughly cleaned up now (by me and others) and seems alright. It's a pity we don't have more information about the life of Lowe-Porter herself. She wrote a little autobiography which I read in the 1960s, but I can't find a trace of it anymore. The translator's role is not a glamorous one....
