[Vwoolf] Vwoolf Digest, Vol 61, Issue 2

This is sad indeed. I knew Alex for a few years when I was a graduate student in California; he was one of those Woolf scholars there whose work was so influential on us: Lucio Ruotolo, Peter Stansky, Jane Novak Emery.

    ?h no, his work was such a diachronic inspiration and a reference point.

    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.

    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...

    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.
