Robert M. Philmus- Murder Most Fowl: Butler's Edition of Francis Godwin Godwin may well have primarily meant his Spaniard to serve precisely the way his name does on the title-page of the first edition: as a pseudonym—i.e., a way of disclaiming authorship in the event of trouble over the book. Godwin, Grant McColley suggests (citing Mark Ridley's A short Treatise of magneticall bodies and motions [1613] as a possible source), "is introducing into literature an analogy drawn from the telescopic observations which proved the axial rotation of the Sun and Jupiter by the appearance and disappearance of their spots" (McColley 72). Godwin would, of course, have had some precedents for such a lunar voyage, and may have drawn on them, just as he probably did on Thomas Cavendish's contribution to Hakluyt for his depiction of St. Helena as a terrestrial paradise. www.depauw.edu /sfs/review_essays/philm69.htm
