He had to agree. I was his student at ucla in the Spring of 1964 in a course called “Spanish Literature 1850-1898.” The Galdós novel scheduled to be read by us was Fortunata y Jacinta. (I remember thinking: “I hope it’s a short one, like Marianela.” ) I was at that party because it was among the festivities in connec- tion with the symposium given at suny Buffalo in his honor. Some of the papers from that symposium, and other solicited ones, ap- peared in a Festschrift published in my Juan de la Cuesta—Hispanic Monographs series. This book,Cervantes for the 21st Century, is popu- lated by a Who’s Who of Cervantists who wrote articles to show their appreciation for Ed’s contribution to our field. Ed Dudley’s major contribution to the field, his magnum opus without a doubt, is his award-winning The Endless Text. Don Quixote and the Hermeneutics of Romance. Since it was published at the end of the century, as one reviews the Cervantine scholarship from that hundred-year period, it can safely be said that it was one of the ten best books about Don Quijote in the 20th century. It was also pub- lished at the end of Dudley’s active career. With a lifetime of study— in Spanish literature, in English literature, and in Comparative Literature—he put everything together into this groundbreaking work. Certainly he forsook other projects over the years to devote his scholarly attention to this book. 5 6 Edward Dudley Cervantes John Cull ends his on-line review for the American Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain by stating: “Dudley’s study is a provocative and challenging reading which proves at times to be both controversial and brilliantly insightful.” And Nicholas Spadaccini, in his review publsihed in this Bulletin (18.2 (1998): 148- 50.) begins by saying: “This beautifully-written, erudite book is the work of a distinguished comparatist who combines the best tools that philological scholarship has to offer with sophisticated contem- porary theories of reading.” If there are csa members who do not know that book yet, they should go immediately to their university library—it’s in the colleci- tont—and check it out. What follows is an obituary written by Edward Wescott, a short appreciation of Ed Dudley by Geoffrey Ribbans, and a listing of Dudley’s pubished works. Tom Lathrop Edward J. Dudley July 18, 1926 — July 21, 2008 Edward J. Dudley, Ph. D., Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature and longtime chairman of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the State University of New York at Buffalo, died from the effects of Parkinson’s disease July 21 in Sanford University of South Dakota Medical Center, Sioux Falls. He was 82. Born in St. Paul, Minn. in 1926, Ed Dudley joined the Navy at 17 and served in the final years of World War II. After the war, he re- turned to the University of Minnesota on the gi Bill and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English literature. He traveled ex- tensively in Europe and South America during the early 1950s, work- ing as an English language professor, before teaching Spanish at St. John’s University in Minnesota and earning his doctorate in Spanish literature in 1963. In 1959, he married Patricia Hayes, a concert pianist.
