<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
