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.
