Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The trope of the explained supernatural has vexed scholarly efforts to place Ann Radcliffe’s works squarely within an Enlightenment or Romantic regime. The trope’s appeal to naturalism in The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) invites comparisons between Radcliffe and contemporaries like Erasmus Darwin, Charlotte Smith, and other early practitioners of Romantic science. I argue that Radcliffe achieves a more radical vision of science than her con temporaries by rejecting utilitarian appropriations of natural phenomena. She instead presents science as a romantic pursuit of knowledge that rejects technical mastery and ends in aestheticized scenes of pastoral and domestic harmony. Finally, by interrupting the progress of Udolpho’s narrative, the explained super natural creates textual clearings for Radcliffe’s readers to reproduce the scientific romances of her characters.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
