We were sorry to hear from George Thomas that John Coyle sadly passed away in March at the age of 69.
John was Honorary Senior Research Fellow and former Head of the Department of English Literature at the University of Glasgow, specialising in modernist and postmodernist fiction, particularly Proust, but also publishing on Woolf, Joyce and others. He edited the Carcanet editions of Ford’s Provence and It Was the Nightingale, and contributed essays to two volumes of the International Ford Madox Ford Studies series.
John was known for his intellectual generosity, deep erudition, and quiet wit. As George Thomas remarks, he “was my master’s dissertation supervisor on Ford at Glasgow once upon a time. John will be a great loss to the FMF Society.”
