Preface

Dr. Beare has been very much part of the Department of Classics for longer perhaps than she cares to remember. Her career at Newcastle began in early 1966 and has been characterised by long devotion to her subject and to her students, and an inquiring mind that devotes itself naturally to the minutiae–not only of Classics but also of other subjects including Tolkien. Her interests in the classical world continue well into medieval times, and in these circumstances she has been an invaluable source of answers to the thorny questions that the public have directed (launched, even) at the Department. She has survived many changes in the shape of the Department and in the needs and demands of the students, and she has emerged from it all in surprisingly good shape. She retains an agile mind, capable of retaining anything other than the names of her students, and, so far from being moulded by the necessities of life into a recognisable pattern; she remains, like her long-term colleague Godfrey, sui generis. She will be missed for her intellectual gifts, for the colour she has brought to the Department, and for her generosity towards it. We wish her every happiness back in England.

Prof. Harold Tarrant,
Dept. of Classics
