The Space Outside: Images of Women in Plays by Eva Gore-Booth and Dorothy Macardle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
European theatre of the nineteenth century presents an image of woman confined by, or negotiating the confinements of, domestic interiors. This image recurs in much of the theatre of the Irish cultural renaissance at the beginning of the twentieth century, primary and influential examples being Synge’s In the Shadow of the Glen (1905) and The Playboy of the Western World (1907), and O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926). This chapter begins by examining The Buried Life of Deirdre (1916) by Eva Gore-Booth, concentrating on the playwright’s use of spatial images to propose subversive representations of female identity. I will then look at Dorothy Macardle’s Witch’s Brew (1928; publ. 1931), in which ideals of domesticity and the ideological control of femininity are destabilized through images of forces that invade the stage. Macardle characterizes these forces as supernatural, and as representative of ancient, but powerful energies denied by patriarchal hegemonies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
