Tributes to Professor Susan Manning

Friends, colleagues, students and staff mourn the unexpected passing of Professor Susan Manning, Grierson Professor of English Literature and, for the last 7 years, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh. Susan died peacefully soon after a stroke on Tuesday 15 January 2013.

This news came as a profound shock to all of us at IASH, in the English Department, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and many others around the world whose lives were touched by Susan's kindness, inspiration and scholarship.

Susan's contribution to the University has been enormous and her influence has been felt across the world through the excellence of her scholarship, her warm support of colleagues and her influential roles in many learned societies and professional networks. Our thoughts and sympathy are with her family at this very difficult time.
