Victoria Harding
Victoria Harding has managed the online discussion group, known variously as gaddis-l, eGad, the Gaddis list, and Gaddis Conversations, since about 2000. At the same time she set up and began constructing the Gaddis site, building around an electronic version of Steven Moore's early book on The Recognitions, created by Ron Dulin, an avid Gaddis reader who importantly also originated the Gaddis list in the mid-1990s. She and Curtiss Leung, an early Gaddis list member with technical skills, conceived of the site as reader-oriented, and assembled a group of dedicated Gaddisians in various parts of the world to propose and discuss, as well as receive from others, notes and related materials for all the novels. Their names appear on the site, where work was done with valuable help and much additional material from Steven Moore; suggestions for additional notes or other information continues to be happily received.
