The Art of Blasphemy? Interfusions of the Erotic and the Sacred in the Poetry of Donne, Barnes, and Constable
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Le rejet de la foi catholique par Donne a, par le passé, été invoqué pour interpréter sa juxtaposition blasphématoire de vocabulaires érotique et religieux. Cet article compare son cas avec celui de deux autres auteurs contemporains dont les blasphèmes peuvent également être interprétés en regard de leurs biographies spirituelles respectives mais contrastées. Barnabe Barnes, le fils d'un évêque anglican, a mis en scène ses tentatives de séduction de son amante, qui consistaient à prier à l'autel de la bienheureuse Vierge Marie. Le cheminement de Henry Constable, pour sa part, du protestantisme vers le catholicisme a également donné lieu dans sa poésie à de provocantes juxtapositions entre le sacré et l'érotisme. Cet article cherche à savoir dans quelle mesure les images catholiques étaient devenues conventionnelles dans la poésie érotique, et à quel moment ces juxtapositions de langage étaient délibérément provocatrices.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
