This issue of Postscript includes papers from the 2000 and 2001 annual Philological Association of the Carolinas conferences. Only a few papers were submitted from the 2000 conference, so the executive board combined papers from the two conferences into a single two-volume issue. The issue features papers on topics ranging from 15th century French literature to works by modern British authors Julian Barnes and E.M. Forster. It also includes analyses of poems by John Donne and plays by American writers William Dean Howells and Alice Childress. The editor thanks all those involved in the two conferences and former Postscript editors for their advice in producing this combined issue.

This issue differs from other Postscripts in that it includes
essays from the 2000 Philological Association of the Carolinas annual meeting held on the campus of Winthrop University and essays from the 2001 annual meeting sponsored by the College of Charleston. Because so few papers were submitted for considera- tion from the 2000 conference, the executive board members agreed that papers from the two conferences should be combined into a Postscript two-volume issue. In each issue of Postscript, we publish the very best from those papers read at the annual conference. The selections in this issue are no exception. Topics range from Matthew Morris's historical inquiry into 15th century poets Jean d'Arras' and Couldrette's treatments of the fifteenth century French Melusine romance to Merritt Moseley's overview of contemporary British author Julian Barnes. Dr. Morris looks at the historical and political contexts for the two versions of the work, thus showing how rivalries and censorship within areas influenced the publication of these two works. Dr. Moseley's overview of Julian Barnes' work both illumi- nates the writer's substantial credentials as a chronicler of modern life and focuses on his particular interrogations of adultery. Margaret Oakes' piece on John Donne's poetry begins the issue. According to Dr. Oakes, Donne begins his search for the divine with reason which will ultimately allow for faith. In her paper, she presents Donne's depiction of this process, and then shows how he tries to use it in two of the "Holy Sonnets." David McCracken's work shows similarities between E.M Forster's A Room with a View and D.H. Lawrence's Lady I Chatterley's Lover, particularly in how each writer uses an awak- f. ening sexuality to illustrate a kind of spiritual awakening. Gwen Macallister and Lynn Hanson both tackle American sub- jects. Ms. Macallister focuses on William Dean Howells' novel A Hazard of New Fortunes to demonstrate how a character's "gaze" either appropriates or sympathizes with characters less fortunate. Lynn Hanson's analysis of African-American playwright Alice Childress' Trouble in Mind examines the multiple-layering of racial consciousness in this play within a play. I would like to thank all those involved in both of the PAC confer- ences, including local arrangements coordinators at Winthrop University and College of Charleston, and the PAC Executive Committees for 2000-2001 and 2001-2002, particularly Dr. Christopher Johnson. In addition, I would like to thank former editors of Postscript for their advice in producing this issue of the magazme.
