Each displays the hallmarks of his enviable style: one that combines acute insight and sensitivity to language and form with an ambitious intellectual vision, all shaped by a delicate yet robust prose crafted to convey something profoundly engaging and perceptive.' A collection of essays, Literature and Authenticity, 17801900, published in Vince's honour in 2011, includes an 'Afterword' paying full tribute to his achievements, and to his incomparable strengths as a reader, teacher, critic, colleague, and friend. David Walker remembers Richard's role in transforming the image, reputation, and quality of English Studies at Northumbria, and the generosity with which he supported the work of younger scholars: 'he was a close friend for over thirty years, and my colleagues and I miss him sorely'.
