Editing With Fire and Sword (section)

==English translations==
The novel was initially translated by [[Jeremiah Curtin]] in 1898. Curtin was Sienkiewicz's "authorized" translator, meaning the publisher, [[Little, Brown and Company|Little, Brown and Co.]], paid a commission to Sienkiewicz for his endorsement because at the time, as a foreign work, it was not copyrighted in the USA. Thus, another translation by [[Samuel A. Binion]] (who translated many other books by Sienkiewicz) was published by R. F. Fenno and Co. around the same time as Curtin's, but without Sienkiewicz's endorsement. Both translations have since lapsed into the public domain.

A modern translation was published in 1991 by [[W. S. Kuniczak]], at the behest of the Copernicus Society of America, as part of a series of Polish classics in modern translation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Segel |first=Harold B. |date=1991 |title=Review of With Fire and Sword, in Modern Translation |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25778602 |journal=The Polish Review |volume=36 |issue=4 |pages=487–494 |issn=0032-2970}}</ref>
