Abstract
The editors of Literature and History were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Richard Terry in July 2020. Professor Terry was an esteemed scholar of eighteenth-century literature who had served on the journal’s editorial advisory board since 2016. He numbered among his many acclaimed publications a landmark study of the mock-heroic genre, a fascinating history of eighteenth-century plagiarism allegations, and a recent important edition of John Cleland’s Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (co-edited with Helen Williams). He will be greatly missed by his colleagues and students at Northumbria University, and by the wider academic community.
