Editor's Note

The students of English 498, the Senior Seminar, were asked in the fall of 2010 to write short, scholarly articles in conjunction with a radio production of Charles Dickens's immortal A Christmas Carol (1843). This broadcast, a re-creation of Orson Welles's 1938 version of the Carol, was performed on the evening of 7 December, in the Fine and Performing Arts Center on the campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. These essays are the result of an immense amount of effort on the part of my students, and I present the results of their work here with great pride as both their editor and their professor.
