Biographical mentions
Martin West, one of the most eminent classical scholars in the world, was a master of literary genre; that will be one of my main emphases. But—quite apart from the fact that an obituary per se seems so wrong for someone who had apparently aged so lightly and was at least as creative and productive as he had ever been at the time of his death, at age 77—a formally perfect but cold example of the genre seems wholly false to his wit, frequent subversiveness, and rather oddball human warmth.
