Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To locate an early-modern sensibility in the ‘‘modern’’ drama of Christopher Marlowe is to recognize the vital relationship between the blank space of the Renaissance stage and the linguistic efflorescence of the (blank-verse) plays written for it. Marlowe’s dramatic heroes, from Faustus to Tamburlaine, are wanderers; his scenes change quickly from the local to the global to the cosmic, indicating ‘‘the essential meaninglessness of theatrical space, the vacancy that is the dark side of its power to imitate any place’’ (Greenblatt 195). Yet his characters also assert compulsively, often pathetically, the significance of the local for the purpose of defining (i.e., limiting) themselves. It is Faustus, not Mephistopheles, who insists upon returning to Wittenberg to make an end. And despite the fact, as we may agree in general, that a sense of displacement, of homelessness, of radical mobility, characterizes ‘‘modernity,’’ Faustus’s puzzled interrogation of Mephistopheles about the place of damnation continues to haunt our own discussions of the significance of place in modernity and of the locations of culture, especially in the study of drama and theatre.

Not 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.
