A consideration of the antiquarian and literary works of Joseph Strutt, with a transcript of a hitherto inedited manuscript novel
No full textPhDThe first part of this thesis considers Joseph Strutt's
life, and his place in antiquarian 8tudieo. Strutt (1749-
1802) was trained as an engraver. Some of his early
commissions introduced him to the illuminated, manuscripts of
the British Museum, and led to the serie8 of illustrated
volumes on antiquarian subjects which he published between
1773 and. 1778 (the Regal and. Ecclesiastical Antiquities, the
Manners and Customs, the Chronicle of England.). The next
fifteen. years were devoted to engraving and related work,
including an extens ively-researched biographical dictionary
of engravers: this aspect of Strutt's work is not covered by
the present study. In the 1790's, Strutt pubLished two more
work6 of antiquarian research, the Dress and Habits and the
ports and Pastimes. A number of literary works were
published posthuniously:two plays (Ancient Times and The Test
of Guilt); a mock-epic poem (The Bumpkins' Disaster); and. a
four-volume novel set in the fifteenth century (Queenhoo-wall).
A further prose work survives in manuscript. The literary
works are studied. in the second part of the thesis, and a
transcript is given of the unpublished maiuscript.
This study attempts to show how Strutt's interpretation
of the early periods of English history and literature helped
to form the pre-Romantic taste for the medieval. The plates
of his antiquarian works, taken almost exclusively from
manuscripts contemporary with the subjects described,
familiarised his audience with what had formerly been strange
to all but the specialist. His works of fiction are attempts
to do the same thing by literary means. Walter Scott was
employed. to edit the incomplete manuscript of Queenhoo-JTall:
be was encouraged by Strutt's example to take up his own
writing of historical fiction
A Spinster’s Tour in France, the States of Genoa, etc., during the Year 1827
No full textThe romantic novelist Elizabeth Strutt (1783–c.1863) was ideally suited to the task she set herself when, in 1827, she wrote A Spinster's Tour in France (1828). Although she herself was married, her experiences convinced her of the urgent need for a guidebook designed for the unaccompanied 'lady traveller'. Taking readers through every stage of a long and eventful journey from Southampton to Recco (near Genoa), Strutt combines poetic descriptions of picturesque landscapes with practical advice on lodgings, transport and social interaction. Of particular concern, claims Strutt, is the vulnerability of unchaperoned young women at the hands of 'zealous Roman Catholics' who might seek to convert a 'timid child' to their faith. Strutt's book provides an unusual perspective both on European customs and society, and on the mindset of the British travellers who witnessed them.

Manuscript notes on gold digging and gold licence issued 1858
Get PDFManuscript notes on gold digging, written around [c.1858] author unknown, may have been George Elliot. Includes on the front page a coloured drawing of 'The Diggings, designed and drawn by William Strutt, and published by D. Urquhart, Collins Street, Melbourne.
William Strutt (1825-1915) was born in Devon, England and studied art in Paris. He arrived in Melbourne on the HMS Culloden, in July 1850. Strutt published engravings in the first issue of the Illustrated Australian Magazine and designed, engraved or lithographed postage stamps, posters, maps, transparencies and seals and began to learn all he could about the history of the colony. His friend and patron John Pasco Fawkner encouraged him to record important colonial events. His works are represented in galleries in Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat, Adelaide and Hobart. Among European collections, le Musée de Lucerne and the Peace Palace at The Hague hold important paintings. The Dixson and Mitchell libraries, Sydney, the National Library of Australia, State Library and the Parliamentary Library, Victoria, and the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, all hold extensive collections of his sketches, paintings or manuscript material.
Also Gold Licence issued to George Elliot on October 1858 by P.C.. Crespigny, Commissioner. To meet the expense of securing order and to restrain unauthorised mining on Crown land, a local Act of January 1852 imposed on all diggers a licence fee of 30 shillings per month, the penalty for mining without a licence being £6 for the first offence and afterwards imprisonment for terms up to six months

Deciphering the roles of cell shape and Fat and Dachsous planar polarity in arranging the Drosophila apical microtubule network through quantitative image analysis
Get PDFIn epithelial cells, planar polarisation of subapical microtubule networks is thought to be important for both breaking cellular symmetry and maintaining the resulting cellular polarity. Studies in the Drosophila pupal wing and other tissues have suggested two alternative mechanisms for specifying network polarity. On one hand mechanical strain and/or cell shape have been implicated as key determinants, on the other the Fat-Dachsous planar polarity pathway has been suggested to be the primary polarising cue. Using quantitative image analysis in the pupal wing, we reassess these models. We found that cell shape was a strong predictor of microtubule organisation in the developing wing epithelium. Conversely Fat-Dachsous polarity cues do not play any direct role in the organisation of the subapical microtubule network, despite being able to weakly recruit the microtubule minus-end capping protein Patronin to cell boundaries. We conclude that any effect of Fat-Dachsous on microtubule polarity is likely to be indirect, via their known ability to regulate cell shape
Retromer Controls Planar Polarity Protein Levels and Asymmetric Localization at Intercellular Junctions
Get PDFPlanar cell polarity—the organization of cells within a two-dimensional plane—is an important feature in tissue organization. Strutt et al. show that, in the Drosophila wing, endosomal recycling through retromer and its cargo adaptor Snx27 mediates the cell-surface localization of two key planar polarity proteins, Flamingo and Strabismus.</p
