I met Ana-Karina Schneider, in person, for only a few days, at the ‘Temporalities of Modernism’ conference at the Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj in May 1918. But the impression of her intelligence, warmth, and grace was immediate, and amplified over
succeeding years through involvements with ABC. I recall her ingenious invention of ‘Postcard’ sections – allowing brief reports from unusual literary landscapes – and was particularly grateful, too, for her dedication of a full issue to the culture and identity of
Scotland. As all contributors to the journal – and its readers – will know, she was in every way a meticulous, dedicated, friendly and imaginative editor. In that area, but also through her life and work generally, her influence and memory will remain warmly alive among all who knew her.
