Colleagues --

The international literary journal, Style has a new editor. While Style
renews its call for critical essays on stylistics, language/linguistics in
literature, and narrative as before, it will also welcome essays on the
new psychologies, including those focused upon any of several diverse
domains -- cognition, mind/brain, family systems, adaptation -- and
literature, especially considering those essays that pay close attention
to the text. Style will also add a pedagogical component to at least one
issue of the quarterly, with particular emphasis on the teaching of
literature at both the undergraduate AND graduate level.

to the idea of past, present, and future has been radically
