In Memory of Marilyn Butler

Submitted by rc-admin on Fri, 03/14/2014 - 14:24

The Guardian has posted a rememberance of Marilyn Butler, who died recently.

The first paragraph reads,

Marilyn Butler, who has died aged 77, was one of the leading scholars of Romanticism of her generation. She perhaps did more than any other academic of recent decades to return Romantic literature to the boisterous history out of which it grew. Her books and editions established her reputation among fellow scholars, but were also read with pleasure by students. In person as well as in print she was wonderfully accessible.

The full article is available here.

Many folks on the NASSR listerv are posting their rememberances of Professor Butler as well.
