I am shocked to hear this very sad news. Dickensians around the globe will miss Simon enormously. Such a wonderful scholar and a lovely man. @dickenssociety.bsky.social @dickensfellowhq.bsky.social
I attended Thursday’s lovely service in Durham to remember and celebrate this incredible man, who had such an exuberance for life and positively impacted every person he came into contact with: Professor Simon James.
