[Vwoolf] Murray Beja

[Hagen, Benjamin]

Thank you for letting us know, Mark.

I know many of us—especially the Woolf Salon Conspirators (and Vara!)—were happy that Murray joined us for the VWM at 100 event last May (Woolf Salon No. 27). Murray starts to speak at around the 49:00 mark, which I’ve tried to link to below. Usually access to these recordings is limited to IVWS members, but it feels appropriate to share this more widely:

I think this was the first time that Murray joined us for a Salon? It was a treat to hear from him.

My condolences to those who knew and loved him. I’m so grateful for the foundations he and his conspirators established for so many of us.

Ben

Thank you so much, Mark.

Murray also founded this VWoolf Listserve at the Ohio State University. Murray's most recent contribution to Woolf Studies is his article in Issue 100 of the Miscellany<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://virginiawoolfmiscellany.wordpress.com/virginia-woolf-miscellany-issue-100-spring-summer-2023/__;!!KGKeukY!znvcfXqdvICiLTJnpd9zlBDrAHFsRYRSwsxEk6LrQrmQE-sbNj-Q0Be9uN6SQ_Z9S9iMd_0Fzhb-0UmL7_xyT9CuzN5v$> (pages 26-28), which is primarily about the origins of the (I)VWS. Over the decades, Murray influenced Woolf Studies in invaluable ways.

For those of you who remember Murray, I would be very grateful to hear from you. I would like to create a tribute for him in the next issue of the Virginia Woolf Miscellany. Thank you in advance for sharing your remembrances.

With sorrow,
