[Vwoolf] Laura Marcus

[Eleanor McNees]

Dear Angeliki and All,

I am so sorry to hear this sad news and wanted to express both my condolences to you, Angeliki, and to those who knew Laura better than I did, though my interactions and snatched conversations with her over the course of the past 15 years were always wonderfully generous and engaging. She was a major participant at the 2008 Virginia Woolf Conference I hosted in Denver, both presenting her own work and introducing Andrew McNeillie. I admired her books and essays  immensely and always marveled at the depth and range of her scholarship. I’m disappointed that I’ll never have a chance to meet and talk with her again.

Sincerely,
Eleanor

Dear Woolfians,

it is with great sorrow that I have to announce the horrible news of the death of Laura Marcus, on 22nd September 2021 at the age of 65. She died of pancreatic cancer diagnosed just two months ago.
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.

love to all
Angeliki
