The Tolstoy Society

[andrew wachtel]

Dear Colleagues,

After eight years as Editor and Business Manager of Tolstoy Studies Journal
(TSJ), Donna Tussing Orwin (University of Toronto) and Edwina Cruise (Mt.
Holyoke College) are stepping down.  I hope that all of us who work on
Tolstoy in particular and Russian 19th-century literature in general will
join me in congratulating Donna on the wonderful job she has done with TSJ
in this period. I further hope that all of you will consider becoming
members of the Tolstoy Society, as membership in this organization brings
with it a subscription to this excellent journal.

Donna has set standards of academic quality and editorial integrity that
will be hard to match, and Edwina has handled the business side of the
operation in an exceptionally competent way. We believe, however, that we
have found a new team that can successfully build on the foundation that
Donna and Edwina have created.  I am happy to report that beginning with the
next issue, Michael Denner of Stetson University is the new Editor of TSJ,
and Colonel Rick McPeak of the United States Military Academy at West Point
the Business Manager.  Please address all enquires about the journal to them
at the following addresses:

Finally, after 10 years, I am leaving the post of President of the Tolstoy
Society.  This has been a rewarding position but my own academic interests
are moving in other directions and it is time for a change.  Happily, I can
pass the leadership of the organization on to a new president: Donna Orwin.
Her energy and devotion to Tolstoy studies will unquestionably allow the
Society to grow and flourish in the future. You may reach her at the
following address:
