Remembering Rhys Isaac

Some of the late Rhys Isaac's friends and colleagues were reflecting via email on Rhys and on his significances for them and for the profession. They did this because they needed to, and to help two of them who had been asked write the obituary for the Journal of Southern History that ends this suite of remembrances. The author of this essay, ‘Remembering Rhys Isaac', wrote this memoir of him out of his personal and from their shared knowledge, as much as possible in the spirit of its subject, and unintentionally – because it is still too early and the memories too strong – in the episodic forms of his narrative style. Our readers felt that it evokes its subject. There will be time later to understand better what he meant to us. If this piece feels like the spirit of this remarkable man, it is in tribute to him
