The Premiere of L'Annonce faite à Marie in the Context of Heightened Interest in the Middle Ages and Jeanne d'Arc
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UnionCollege T Ln 1977, the year that Claudel's LAnnonce faite d Marie premiered, was the same year the five hundredth anniversary of Jeanne d'Arc's birth was celebrated in France.Given the height- ened interest in the Middle Ages that occurred in rhe late nineteenth-century, it would make sense to consider the play from the angle of its medieval setting and its featuring of Jeanne d'Arc in Act III, a significant moment in the plot.The setting of this play is not the "real" Middle Ages in decline, but rather a conventional fifteenth century, as stated in the stage directions at the beginning of the "Premibre version": "Tout le drame se passe d la fin d'un Moyen Age de convention, tel que les pobtes du Moyen Age pouvaient se figurer I'antiquit6" (lt).tEvents and historical figures are mentioned whose dates barely overlap, if at all.An early reference in the play (Act I, scene 1) brings together the French Dauphin as child (bom in 1403 and future Charles VII), Henry V of England (1387-1477), and the Great Schism, which ended inl4I7, whenJeanne d'Arc was about five years old, Charles fourteen, and Henry thirty-hardly an infant:2 A la place du Roi nous avons deux enfants.IJun Anglais, dans son tle, Et I'autre si petit qu'on ne le voit plus, entre les roseaux de la Loire.A la place du Pape, nous en avons trois et h la place de Rome, je ne sais quel concile en Suisse.(30)3 Volume IV

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.
