Karen Blixen - Isak Dinesen home

Sara Stambaugh, Professor Emeritus at the University of Alberta, Canada, was author of The Witch and the Goddess in the Stories of Isak Dinesen: A Feminist Reading (Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press, 1988) and author of the lecture: Isak Dinesen in America.
 
A friend writes:
 
Although I'd often chatted with Sara about everything from soup to nutsy novels (for light reading she'd recommended to me Janet Evanovich's Stephane Plum, Bounty Hunter Series), it was only after her death that I chanced upon, and read, her Blixen lecture. Although I knew of her reputation as a professor of Elizabethan literature, I  had no idea the extent of her knowledge about Blixen/Dinesen.

I think her lecture's text illustrates what a warm, witty and charming personality she was.
