[Vwoolf] FW: Alex Zwerdling

[Maggie Humm]

A very sad loss. Alex came often to the London Modernism Seminar, sitting modestly in the audience, asking the kindest questions, never grandstanding, a lovely man.

Thank you Mark and Brenda.  Alex was a kind man and wonderful colleague, full of wit and wisdom.  He will be missed though his contribution to our understanding and thought live on.  His work on Woolf and his other scholarship are testaments to this. I am sad to know that he is no longer among us--and cannot find the words...

Another death in the Woolf community, Alex Zwerdling, whose book Virginia Woolf and the Real World did so much to counter the prevailing myths about her at the time.  Alex had to fight his publisher to use the title; he also fought to support and legitimize the younger Woolf scholars at the time, myself included.  I wanted to share his obituary for those who knew him.
