How very sorry I am to learn of the late sufferings and final passing
of Kent Hieatt! I knew him for so long I can't remember when we first
met, but I owe him a tremendous debt; the piece I wrote in the Spenser
Encyclopedia on Amoretti and Epithalamion -- and indeed much else --
would not have been possible without his imaginative work.
Ground-breaking is hardly the word for it -- imagination is what he
had, and tough scholarship to go with it. And such a collaborator with
others! A very great loss. Germaine
