The complete poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Volume 3
No full text"His name is Percy Bysshe Shelley, and he is the author of a poetical work entitled Alastor, or the Spirit of Solitude." With these words, the radical journalist and poet Leigh Hunt announced his discovery in 1816 of an extraordinary talent within "a new school of poetry rising of late."
The third volume of the acclaimed edition of The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley includes Alastor, one of Shelley’s first major works, and all the poems that Shelley completed, for either private circulation or publication, during the turbulent years from 1814 to March 1818: Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, Mont Blanc, Laon and Cythna, as well as shorter pieces, such as his most famous sonnet, Ozymandias. It was during these years that Shelley, already an accomplished and practiced poet with three volumes of published verse, authored two major volumes, earned international recognition, and became part of the circle that was later called the Younger Romantics.
As with previous volumes, extensive discussions of the poems’ composition, influences, publication, circulation, reception, and critical history accompany detailed records of textual variants for each work. Among the appendixes are Mary W. Shelley’s 1839 notes on the poems for these years, a table of the forty-two revisions made to Laon and Cythna for its reissue as The Revolt of Islam, and Shelley’s errata list for the same.
It is in the works included in this volume that the recognizable and characteristic voice of Shelley emerges—unmistakable, consistent, and vital
Stevekenia Percy, 2017, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Stevekenia gen. nov. Type species: Stevekenia nothocestri sp. nov., by present designation. Adult colour and structure. General body colour light to mid-brown with yellow-green on abdomen. Fore wing broadest in the middle, membrane clear or slightly yellow and hyaline, lacking surface spinules, with or without distinct areas of pigmentation; veins with trifurcation of veins R, M and Cu1, brown, often with darker spots at marginal termination; long setae on ventral fore wing margin and interior veins; a single cluster of marginal radular spines present in cells cu1, m1, either centrally positioned or offset towards posterior of cells, and either one or two marginal clusters in cell m2; vein Rs short, cells cu1 and m2 large; fore wing apices bluntly acute (Fig. 1A,C–D,H– I,L). Hind wing short (Fig. 1B,J). Long setae present on head and thorax (Fig. 1E). Head without genal processes; vertex extremely short (width ≥ 4x length), extending anteriorly into two small projections overhanging the medial ocellus (Fig. 2A–B,I); due to the short vertex, the head appears somewhat dorso-ventrally flattened (Fig. 2D); lateral ocelli on small tubercles; medial epicranial suture distinct; small extensions at posterior rim of the eyes form small lateral projections (Fig. 2A,I). Antennae extremely long (length> 4x head width); antennal segments 10, with apical region of segments 3–8 often slightly darker; either a single or multiple rhinaria apically on segments 4, 6, and a single rhinarium apically on segments 8, 9; rhinaria either simple or surrounded by a small disk (Fig. 2E,F); terminal segment with two setae of unequal length (stout and slender). Distal proboscis segment medium short, darker apically (Fig. 2H,L). Thorax moderately arched (Fig. 1F–G). Legs moderately short and robust, tibia longer than femur; hind leg with meracanthus well developed and straight; hind tibia with a single genual spine basally and 1+2 sclerotized apical spurs (single spur stalked and a pair of stalked spurs either conjoined at the base or not) and a comb of stout unsclerotized setae; proximal tarsus longer than distal tarsus (Fig. 2 M–R). Male terminalia with subgenital plate more or less rounded, or more angular; proctiger with moderate posterior lobe medially, length longer than paramere; paramere with broad base below an abrupt anterior angle leading to sickleshaped neck with apex directed anteriorly; distal aedeagus segment with large, bulbous apex; sperm pump large (Fig. 3A –G). Female terminalia with proctiger robust, dorsal surface more or less straight, longer than subgenital plate, vase-shaped anal ring composed of a mostly continuous double row of cells, and two raised pores (approximately same size as abdominal spiracles) flanking anal ring; subgenital plate ventral surface either more or less straight or with medial bulge ventrally, apex acute or bluntly acute; ovipositor without serrations (Fig. 3 H–N). Egg. Pale to light brown, with a long pedicel and short tail, and a distinct plug-like structure at the base near the pedicel; egg surface (mostly dorsal surface) covered in irregularly clustered to linearly ordered cellular outgrowths (Fig. 3 O–Q). Immature. Unknown. Comment. There are no clear taxonomic affiliations with other genera in Triozidae. However, Stevekenia may be affiliated with Baeoalitriozus Li, 2011 based on forewing structure, particularly the large fore wing cell m2, and shortened hind wing; Baeoalitriozus occurs on both Asian and American continents, as well as in Africa (Yang et al. 2013). Other possible affiliations are with Schedoneolithus Tuthill, 1959, a monotypic genus from South America which has a Solanaceae host and head lacking developed genae (Tuthill 1959), but the overall head shape is still not as atypical as in Stevekenia. Other than the host plant affiliation, the biology and immatures of Stevekenia are unknown. Ongoing phylogenomic work by this author places Stevekenia in a major clade of predominantly non-galling genera; and both Baeoalitriozus and Schedoneolithus are also in this same phylogenetic group, as is a predominantly holarctic genus, Bactericera Puton, 1876, with several Solanaceae-feeding species, including one of the most serious pests of potato, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc, 1909), see Discussion. Potentially significant similarities with Bactericera include the sickle-shaped paramere and eggs with a long pedicel, in addition some Bactericera taxa also lack developed genae (Burckhardt & Lauterer 1997). There are two single island endemic species described in Stevekenia, and the genus can be separated from other genera in the Hawaiian Islands by the combination of large size (> 4 mm), large fore wing cells m2 and cu1, extremely long antennae (> 4x head width), and the unusual, somewhat dorso-ventrally flattened, head shape without genal processes; as well as being the only taxon found on Solanaceae host plants in the archipelago. In addition, there are two notably unusual morphological features in Stevekenia, one is the two raised pores flanking the anal ring on the dorsal surface of the female proctiger, it is not clear whether these are simply pores or may function as glands; the other is the egg structure with branching cellular outgrowths on the surface of the eggs, and a plug-like structure at the base of the pedicel. Etymology: Named for the combined efforts of two extraordinary field biologists, the entomologist Steve Montgomery and the botanist Ken Wood, without whose field knowledge and skills this genus would have remained undiscovered.Published as part of Percy, Diana M., 2017, A new endemic psyllid genus, Stevekenia gen. nov.

The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature
