Marcus, Laura, 1956-2021

This is a collage of analyses and memories by friends and colleagues, fifteen in all – one writer described it as a ‘polyphonic’ document. All Laura Marcus’s work broke new ground. Colleagues discuss the major scholarly works in life-writing, cinema, psychoanalysis and modernist literature, Virginia Woolf (her great love), and the unfinished posthumous work on rhythm (to be published by OUP). Also featured are the many academic environments she worked in – Kent, Southampton, Sussex, London, Edinburgh, and Oxford, New College, as Goldsmiths’ Professor.
