Microkerkus Godwin-Austen 1912
No full textGenus Microkerkus Godwin-Austen, 1912 Microkerkus Godwin-Austen, 1912a: 128. Type species Helix symmetrica Craven, 1880, by subsequent designation (Connolly 1912: 111). Remarks Watson (1934), Connolly (1939) and Zilch (1959 –60) treated Microkerkus as a synonym of Kerkophorus, a conclusion justified by the minimal diagnosis provided by Godwin-Austen (1912a). However, there are consistent differences in the morphology of the male distal genitalia of Microkerkus that clearly set it apart from Kerkophorus and other members of Sheldonia s.l. Specifically, the epiphallus is generally longer, the caecum is small, globose rather than elongate, and it is situated more or less in the middle of the epiphallus, rather than adjacent to the penial retractor muscle. Furthermore, the tail of the spermatophore is bifid, comprising a spinose element and a secondary smooth element that branches from it. In terms of the relative length of the two elements of the spermatophore tail, Microkerkus appears divisible into two groups. Typically, after the bifurcation the smooth element is much longer than the spinose element (M. symmetricus, M. maseruensis (Connolly, 1929) and M. arnotti (Benson, 1864)), but in others the two elements, after splitting, are more or less equal in length (M. burnupi (Godwin-Austen, 1914), M. leucospira (Pfeiffer, 1857) and M. pondoensis Godwin-Austen, 1912). This difference is also evident in the morphology of the flagellum, the latter group having a clearly bifid flagellum. (The figure of the genitalia of M. symmetricus given by Godwin-Austen (1914: pl. 19, fig. 2) is almost certainly misidentified and in fact represent a species of Kerkophorus.) Shell morphology is variable; the shell surface may be lustreless or glossy, the protoconch smooth or spirally lirate, but always lacks punctations; the umbilicus may be relatively broad, narrowly rimate or absent; the coloration is usually uniform, though the apical whorls may be paler, and there is never a brown peripheral spiral band.Published as part of Herbert, David G., 2017, A new genus and eight new species of tail-wagger snails from eastern South Africa, with a key to genera within Sheldonia s. l.

William Godwin as a literary worker, 1756-1800
No full textThis paper focuses on the life of William Godwin as a literary worker in the latter part of the eighteenth century. With the publication of An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice in 1793, this author gained immediate fame. His prestige was increased with the publication of Caleb Williams one year later. Yet, within six short years, his reputation all but disappeared and his publications came to be regarded as literary waste. It is the purpose of the paper to show: 1) that William Godwin was unable to continue works of high quality after 1800 because of environmental pressure; 2) the influence of the market place upon many of his publications; 3) that his publishers controlled his future; 4) that this author desired neither the help of the publisher or patron, but strove for independence from both. In researching the paper, the writer studied original publications written by William Godwin prior to 1800. Although most of his original books are scarce, this writer benefited from works found at Memorial Library in Madison, Wisconsin; Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois; and through the inter-library loan system at Northern Illinois University. This latter service provided the most important material, the Abinger Collection of William Godwin\u27s Diary (MSS on Microfilm). This collection was graciously lent to Northern Illinois University by Duke University Library. This compilation of unpublished material allowed this writer to follow Godwin\u27s daily account of his life in these years. It provided the factual data showing William Godwin\u27s attempt to gain financial independence and his hatred for the control exerted by publishers
The Godwinian psychology of hope and its legacy in the work of Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley
No full textThis thesis examines the work of William Godwin in terms of a conjunction between secular Enlightenment optimism and the psychology of Christian hope. This conjunction produced his particular inflection of human perfectibility, where the idea of liberal improvement in society becomes a semi-fictional narrative of faith. This political philosophy is developed alongside a Dissenting literary theory that
understands literature as discussion, locating the means of improvement in the written text's influence over the mind of the reader. Godwin's interest in altering the mindset
of his readership as a means of political improvement sees him emphasise the idea of hope in his novels, seeking to sustain the progressive project through literature in the
face of the rise of anti-Jacobinism and Malthusian political economy in the late 1790s.
Percy Shelley defined his literary project as an attempt to revive liberal hope in the wake of the `failure' of the French Revolution, a definition initiated by his reading of
Godwin. His reaction against Wordsworthian conservatism is framed in the terms of Godwinian psychology. Percy Shelley's theories on the poet as `legislator' emerge
from his encounter with Godwin's ideas on reader-response as the vehicle of improvement. However, there is also a reaction against Godwinian hope, which sees Percy Shelley explore a countervailing anti-humanist disappointment.
A key theme of Mary Shelley's novels is the persistence of Godwinian hope. She discusses Godwinian ideas on benevolence and the absence of innate disposition to
crime as a means of reviving the progressive project. While Mary Shelley explores the collapse of liberal optimism, she makes a paradoxical attempt to sustain Godwinian hope through a disappointed lament for its demise.
The thesis contends that the work of these authors constituted a coherent debate on the liberal Enlightenment, forming an important presence in British literary culture
from 1793 up to the verge of the first Reform Bill in 1832
‘Godwin versus Godwin’: Negotiating the War of Ideas in Charles Lloyd’s <em>Isabel, A Tale</em>
No full textCharles Lloyd remains on the fringe of Romanticism, remembered for his relationships with Coleridge, Southey, Lamb, De Quincey and Hays, and known chiefly for his novel Edmund Oliver (1798). This essay investigates the complex history and meanings of Lloyd’s other, entirely neglected novel, Isabel, A Tale. Using unpublished correspondence the essay establishes that, although published in 1820, Isabel was printed in 1810, and written in 1798-99. Two manuscripts of the novel have been located. These are for the first time analysed to shed light on Lloyd’s intentions. Intriguingly, the manuscripts give the novel the sub-title ‘Godwin versus Godwin’, as well as positioning it as a response to Mary Wollstonecraft. These clues, with an unpublished preface, support a reading of Isabel as an attempt to use Wollstonecraft’s work, and her life as written by Godwin, to develop a modus vivendi allowing radical social critique to co-exist with a defence of chastity and marriage

Syntype, India, Assam, Brahmakund [= Arunachal Pradesh, Brahmakund] (NHMUK 1903.7.1.3074). Material examined India, Arunachal Pradesh, NNP, 1 ex., Deban (lat. 27.491239°N, long. 96.396566°E, altitude 451 m asl), Coll. S.K. Sajan and Party, 27 December 2017, Reg.

Godwin-Austen (1886: pp. 201‒202). Shell elongately cylindrical, solid, rather tumid, flattened on the frontal surface of the penultimate whorl; sculpture regularly closely costulate; colour dull umber-brown; suture moderately impressed; whorls 6, penultimate the largest with sides flat, the next much smaller and convex; aperture perpendicular; peristome very thick, double, both continuous, but the outer only has a thin callus on the whorl. The sutural tube has its origin on the upper outer margin close upon the outer lip, is colourless, and turns sharp downwards behind it, extending to nearly the height of the last whorl. This peristomial tube is not a tube in the strict sense of the term, but in section is semicircular, an arch outside resting upon the body-whorl, which forms the diameter. An inner sutural tube follows the suture backwards; it opens internally 3 mm within the aperture, it is indistinctly shown on the exterior, but the lines of costulation extend over it (original description published by Godwin- Austen, 1886 in Land and Freshwater Mollusca of India). Re-description Shell (Figs 1 ı 3b–d). The shell is solid, elongated cylindrical and medium in size (SH 15.12 mm, SW 7.41 mm); colour light brown; sculptured regularly and closely costulate; penultimate whorl slightly flattened in front, closely rimate; spire high, apex blunt (probably due to damage caused to the shell by rain); protoconch forms 30° angle from suture; teleoconch forms 60° angle, slightly tilted on right side; suture moderately impressed; whorls 6 – 6¼; aperture flattened in front, attached with penultimate whorl, circular; peristome thickened, upper margin horizontal (AH 5.50 mm, AW 5.70 mm); outer peristome folded backward; breathing tube well connected with top ridge of peristome (near sutural region), curved straight downwards, attaching to outer peristome (NZSI M.32279/9). Tube. Breathing tube originates from right top rim of peristome, sharply arches downwards. Tube moves forward with peristome boundary towards height of body whorl; colour lighter brown than shell; tube width (from connected piece) 1.73 mm, length 3.02 mm. Opening of breathing tube hollow, semi-circular (Figures 1, 3 (b ‒ d)). Peristome. Peristome thick, width 1.15 mm, irregular, concentric sculpture on surface. However, at higher magnification has irregular denticulate structure (Figures 2 (e), 3(c ‒ f)). Protoconch and teleoconch. Protoconch blunt with deep sutural groove, four spiral cords finely folded at nucleus and moving in suture direction to teleoconch; two spiral cords further move above suture (Figure 2 (a ‒ c)); nucleus diameter 0.72 mm, protoconch 1.48 mm. Line between protoconch and teleoconch poorly visible. Teleoconch surface smooth, no surface sculpture visible and shell costae near suture (Figure 2 (a ‒ c)). Remarks Páll-Gergely et al. (2014) discussed the discrepancy in the literature about the direction of the breathing tube in R. assamicus of Godwin-Austen 1886 [1882 – 1920], 1917). During our field surveys and collections, we recorded two R. assamicus shells as described by Godwin-Austen (1886 [1882 – 1920]), which were identified based on the unique characters of the breathing tube which moved sharply downwards along with the peristome margin in the shells (Figures 1, 3 (b ‒ d), 4). However, as opined by Páll-Gergely et al. (2014), the taxonomy of the genus Rhaphaulus is far from being well resolved, in the absence of adequate collections in any natural history museums or fresh collections from field. Therefore, the use of a modern technique (photomicrography) in addition to physical examination of the characters of the specimen is considered to be important when reviewing the natural history information. Discussion Rhaphaulus assamicus was reported in 1886 from Brahmakund, also known as Parshuram Kund, in Arunachal Pradesh, India. In India, there are five valid species of Rhaphaulus, all of which are known from the type locality only (Godwin-Austen 1886 [1882 – 1920], 1917; Gude 1921). Páll-Gergely et al. (2014) included R. chrysalis (Pfeiffer 1852) (originally Cyclostoma chrysalis), from eastern India and Myanmar, as an additional species. However, as in the literature, this species has been reported from the Ava [Inwa] and Moulmeni [Mawlamyine] in Myanmar, and there is no documented evidence of its occurrence in India (B. Páll-Gergely, pers. comm.) The ecology of the Indian pupinid land snails is scarcely known. The altitude of the NNP where these two samples of Rhaphaulus assamicus were documented ranges from 200 m to 4300 m asl, with an annual rainfall of 2500 – 3500 mm. Extensive field surveys are required to assess the population status and the ecology of this species for in situ conservation, as it is categorised as rare and endemic. Additionally, molecular phylogenetic analysis of species within Rhaphaulus could clarify some of the confusion over species boundaries and sympatric ranges in India, as well as validate the descriptions made by Godwin-Austen (1886 [1882 – 1920]) based on shell breathing tubes to distinguish between Rhaphaulus and streptaulus.Published as part of Sajan, Sheikh, Tripathy, Basudev, Chandra, Kailash & Sivakumar, Kuppusamy, 2019, Rediscovery and re-description of Rhaphaulus assamicus Godwin-Austenı 1886 ı an endemic pupinid land snail from India (Gastropoda: Pupinidae), pp. 2553-2562 in Journal of Natural History 53 (41) on pages 2555-2556, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2019.1707893, http://zenodo.org/record/366650
