[Milton-L] Richard Helgerson, 1940-2008

[Shannon Miller]

Dear Miltonists,

It saddens me greatly to announce that Professor Richard Helgerson of UC
Santa Barbara died on Saturday, after a long battle with cancer.  In
addition to being an award-winning, ground-breaking, and inspiring scholar,
he was also a wonderful teacher and mentor.  The field of Renaissance
literature has lost a great man.

A memorial service will be held on May 23rd at UC Santa Barbara.  His
colleagues at UCSB have posted a full obituary as well as reflections on his
scholarly and teaching career at http://emc.english.ucsb.edu

Best,

Shannon Miller
Department of English
