<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Oh my god. I am so deeply saddened. Georgia was a generous scholar and colleague and a beautiful, gentle, warm human being. She was interested, as Gill has said, in everyone. And where
you taught, who you were, what you had or had not done never mattered to her. She was always, always warm and welcoming. I had a wonderful conversation with her after a panel I was on at the Woolf Conference a few years back. Such a loss for we as a community
of Woolf scholars and friends, for her students—as I’ve no doubt she was a talented and generous teacher—and for her family and loved ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I am heartbroken. I had no idea she was ill. I’m teaching
<i>The Waves</i> this week to a terrific group of upper division undergraduates, and I shall be thinking of Georgia as we continue our discussion: “But for pain words are lacking. There should be cries, cracks, fissures, whiteness passing over chintz covers,
interference with the sense of time, of space; the sense also of extreme fixity in passing objects; and sounds very remote and then very close; flesh being gashed and blood spurting, a joint suddenly twisted—beneath all of which appears something very important,
yet remote, to be just held in solitude” (195).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Terrible news. Georgia was such a steady, thoughtful and generous person. She was interested in everyone and wrote so beautifully. I think of her as calm, composed and without egotism. I also recall her dry sense of humour.<o:p></o:p></p>
