I am so sad to know this news.

Georgia wrote an early and important chapter on Woolf's essays that helped
me conceive of my dissertation and which I re-read many times in the
process of working on Woolf's essays.

I am still grateful and humbled by her grace and generosity when we met,
decades ago. She treated me like a person who mattered when I was very
young, unpublished, and feeling shaky. As many have said here, her
kindness, care, and warmth were profound. She was a lovely woman.

Very sad indeed that her life ended too soon,

Anne
