Tribute to Professor Lisa Jardine

We are deeply saddened to share the news that Professor Lisa Jardine CBE FRS passed away on Sunday 25 October 2015. Lisa joined UCL in 2012 as Professor of Renaissance Studies, and was Director of the UCL Centre for Humanities Inter-Disciplinary Research Projects (CHIRP). She was also the founding Director of the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters (CELL), which develops archive-based research projects of relevance to the period 1500-1800. Lisa published over fifty scholarly articles, and wrote or co-wrote seventeen books, including influential studies of Shakespeare, Humanism, and Erasmus and lives of Bacon, Wren and Hooke. In her later work, she made particularly important contributions to the history of science in Europe and to the study of Dutch history and of Anglo-Dutch relations. Several of Lisa's books have won international prizes. Lisa wrote reviews for many major UK national newspapers and magazines, and both presented and appeared regularly on arts, history, and current affairs programmes for television and radio.
