In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

I Editor's Fence I ELT Web Site (www.uncg.edu/eng/elt): We've travelled far since the first issue of the journal, mimeographed from stencils, was "printed" at Purdue University in 1957. Forty years later ELT offers new features through its site on the World Wide Web. But have no fear, you charming curmudgeons who relish the scent of fresh ink and paper. We persist in our old-world affection for good typography, black ink, and quality paper—the kind of paper that lasts for centuries. As students of the Transition era, however, you must admit new ideas are worthy of your attention. And so it is that the Internet technology nicely complements our regular publication. In addition to a complete listing of the contents pages from the current volume οι ELT and excerpts of reviews, our Web site contains information on how to subscribe, details about books in ELT Press's 1880-1920 British Authors series, images of the dust jackets, and guidelines for submitting articles and manuscripts. Announcements like those below will be updated periodically. I welcome information on conferences and topics related to the period. More useful features on the Web site will be added later this year. Coming, Summer 1997: Five years ago we published ELT Index III, covering Volume 26 (1983)-Volume 35 (1992). It was expensive to print and time-consuming to distribute. Instead of publishing a new index in the same way, later this year we will "post" ELT Index IV on the Web site free of charge, updating it as each new issue appears. It will catalog everything from Volume 26 (1983) to the current number. The new index will be, as they say, but a click away on the Web. ELT Press: We published the press's first book in 1988, The Poems of John Gray, edited by Ian Fletcher. Approximately two new titles have appeared each year. Colin Smythe, a dedicated publisher with a longstanding interest in the period, distributes our books in Europe. The 1880-1920 British Authors series is solidly established, and the press's mission remains unchanged: to make available affordable yet handsome cloth-bound books on critical, biographical, bibliographical and primary works of Transition authors. We are a modest but important passage for books that university presses cannot afford to print. ELT Press simply wants to meet expenses and extend the series. Please encourage your library to order ELT Press titles. Our Web site makes it easy to find descriptions of the books and information on how to order. A note or phone call from you to your acquisitions librarian or department representative won't take long but will help immensely. Librarians may contact me directly by email if they wish (Langen® fagan.uncg.edu). Your support is crucial and much appreciated. Welcome Michèle Bowman: Louise Kennelly served ELT ably for two years, graduating from the MFA program this past spring. We sincerely thank Louise for her steadfast work. Michèle Marie Bowman assumes the responsibilities of Assistant Editor. She is a poet in the MFA program. In 1991 she graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where she earned a B.A. in the Honors Liberal Arts program. She subsequently earned her J.D. at the University of Texas School of Law, where she was an editor on the American Journal of Criminal Law. After graduating from law school in 1994, she interned in the editorial department at Texas Monthly Magazine. She practiced law for a year in Austin before coming to Greensboro. Michèle is from Little Rock, Arkansas , and I think you'll find her Arkan-Texan background helps season Précis with a engaging independence.
