The Byronic in Jane Austen's persuasion and "Pride and Prejudice"

Although Austen and Byron are often considered to be irreconcilable opposites, in this article I argue that Austen engaged closely with Byron's poetry and drew inspiration from some of his most popular poems. The first part of the article focuses on Romantic, and specifically Byronic, undercurrents in Persuasion. I subsequently...

Sieve-element plastids and evolution of monocotyledons, with emphasis on melanthiaceae sensu lato and Aristolochiaceae-Asaroideae, a putative dicotyledon sister group

Although Engler's classification and family concepts partly survived through the next century (e.g., Cronquist, 1981, 1988), the position of monocotyledons preceding dicotyledons was early...
