UNC Asheville literature and language professor Merritt Moseley was recently recognized for his many years of service and scholarship by the Philological Association of the Carolinas. Moseley was presented the award during a special session at the organization’s annual meeting held earlier this month in Myrtle Beach. Moseley is currently co-editor of the Association’s journal, Postscript, and has served as president as well as first and second vice president.

Moseley, who joined the UNC Asheville faculty in 1978, is professor of literature and language and director of the University’s Honors Program. He has published books on David Lodge, Kingsley Amis and Julian Barnes and serves as the editor of the “Dictionary of Literary Biography” volumes on British novelists since 1960.

The Philological Association of the Carolinas was formed in 1977 as a forum for literature and language scholars from the Carolinas and surrounding states.
