Daddy's Come Home: Evangelicalism, Fatherhood and Lessons for Boys in Late Nineteenth-Century Britain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fears in fin-de-siecle Britain that fathers were absenting themselves from the home prompted a reaction from the evangelical periodical press, orchestrated by the Religious Tract Society, in an attempt to preserve “traditional” domestic ideals of fatherly men. These journals creatively deployed narratives, both fictional and non, that re-emphasised the centrality of male influence in the home, importantly within the idiom of Evangelicalism. Not only was the message— a refashioning of the Holy Trinity: the heavenly Father, the earthly father and the surrogate father (as replacement for the absent father)—critical in upholding the virtues of domesticated men, but the media themselves became crucial “surrogates,” guiding boys in fatherly ways to compensate for the perceived absence of real fathers. The preponderance of literature on the subject of domesticated, moral and religious fathers ought to make us question the “flight from domesticity” to suggest, perhaps at least rhetorically, that “Daddy’s Come Home.”

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.
