- Editors' Note
With this issue of the Southern Literary Journal we are very pleased to welcome as co-editor Minrose Gwin, Kenan Eminent Professor of Southern Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Professor Gwin has long been a leader, nationally and internationally, in women's studies, Faulkner studies, and U.S. southern studies. She is the author of—among other works—the prize-winning Black and White Women of the Old South: The Peculiar Sisterhood in American Literature; The Feminine and Faulkner: Reading (Beyond) Sexual Difference; and The Woman in the Red Dress: Gender, Space, and Reading. She is also author of a widely acclaimed memoir, Wishing for Snow, and is co-editor of The Literature of the American South: A Norton Anthology. Currently she is working on a critical study linking contemporary studies of trauma, memory, and history to literature of and about the U.S. South. We are indeed happy to have her join us in Chapel Hill.
