[Vwoolf] Laura Marcus

[Madelyn Detloff]

This is so terribly heartbreaking.  Angeliki I am so very sorry for your loss.  Marcus was brilliant, witty, and ever so generous with her time and talent.  She was the rare luminary who continued to be kind and supportive to everyone regardless of their status.   She is gone far too soon.  Sending love, especially  to all of you who were close to her.

>> Laura was an English Professor at Oxford, and a distinguished Woolf and Modernism scholar. She was also a very warm, witty and generous person as the people who knew her will agree.
>> Hers is a great loss for her family,  academia, and the Woolf community.
>> Laura was my supervisor at Sussex years ago and a friend ever since, so I feel her loss very acutely. But I am sure many of the people on this list knew and loved her and will be equally devastated by the news.
>> Rest in peace, dear Laura.
