Scott Glosecki

From the ISAS list:

Colleagues,

I am sorry to report that fellow ISAS member Steve Glosecki has passed away. Member Elaine Treharne has sent the following message for distribution on our list::

Colleagues will be saddened to hear that Steve Glosecki has died after a long and courageous battle against cancer. A Professor of Old English at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Steve was a renowned teacher, scholar and poet, a wonderful and dynamic man, and a lively ambassador for Anglo-Saxon Studies everywhere he went. He recently finished his cherished project: translating Beowulf, and many of you will, no doubt, have heard his unforgettably stirring readings of the poem. He will be much missed by his friends and colleagues, and our sympathies are with his wife Karen, and his boys Dylan and Christopher.
