[Vwoolf] Jane Marcus

Jane was there from the beginning, encouraging us all.  We are all indebted to her in ways that are too numerous to count.  A very sad day.

A very sad loss indeed. Lauren's word, fierce, is apt. She was fierce. And so very, very generous. And so funny.

She treated me like a colleague from very early on, before I saw myself as one. Her work and her way of being in the world continue to be an inspiration to me.

All sympathies to those who knew her well and worked with her more closely.

She will live on in her work, as Christine said.

It's such a loss I don't even know what to say, apart from simply that she was my mentor, and she taught me how to read, and how to be fierce. I hope I can live up to that legacy with my own students.

Very best
Lauren

This is terrible news -- my very, very best to those who knew her well. Her work has been magnificent; and the generosity and real, insightful interest with which she engaged inexperienced young scholars, and normalized that interest, was wonderful. And she coined "the Virginia Woolf Soap Operas"! She will be missed so much.

Devastating. Jane Marcus was a force to be reckoned with. And as someone once said of Jane Ellen Harrison, another of our intellectual "unmet" mentors and friends...she was a giant upon whose shoulders we all stand. 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.

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.

Dear fellow Woolfians—

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

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