Jane Marcus asked the important questions. Go back. Re-read her. All of it. There are gems to be mined there that will guide you, test you, frustrate you, but demand that you rethink possible. Her work will remain generative, bold, and meaningful to our own questions and research as we stay up late reading and writing forgetful of the tea kettle on the stove ...but somehow certain that we're on to something, something that matters. </div><div><br></div><div>Jean Mills</div><div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On May 28, 2015, at 11:40 PM, Christine Froula <<a href="mailto:cfroula@northwestern.edu" target="_blank">cfroula@northwestern.edu</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote>
What very sad news. Jane's pioneering scholarship and devoted
teaching as well as her kindness and generosity have encouraged and
inspired countless scholars of Woolf, Elizabeth Robins, feminism,
modernism, and much more, and the enduring legacy of her own work
will keep her spirit alive. We will miss you, Jane. <br>

It is with extraordinary sadness that I convey the news that
Jane Marcus has died. <br>

Those of us who studied with Jane are reeling from the news,
announced today by her son Ben. <br>
