With great sadness, we have learnt that Alan Rudrum passed away on April 19, 2024. He was not only the doyen of Vaughan studies and a leading expert in seventeenth-century poetry and culture but also a founding member of Connotations and a member of our editorial board. We will miss a true friend and clear-sighted adviser of our project and the critical exchange fostered by Connotations. For his latest contribution, written with Julia Schatz, see this link.
