Evelyn C. Bristol

[Frank Y. Gladney]

It is with great sadness that I report the passing, on Friday, July 28, 
after a brief illness, of my esteemed colleague Evelyn C. Bristol.  Eve, 
as her friends knew her, earned her Ph. D. at Berkeley in 1959, 
taught four years at the University of Texas, and joined the 
Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures here at the 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1965.  She retired in 
2003.  She is known for her History of Russian Poetry (Oxford U. P., 
1991) and over 60 articles, encyclopedia entries, and reviews 
dealing with Russian poetrry and Siver Age literature.  Her critical 
acuity and erudition won her the respect of colleagues and students 
alike.  A memorial service is being planned for September.
