Goblin Market de Christina G. Rossetti : « sororité » et tentations d’innocence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Goblin Market is a perfect exemplar of what English critics label as cross-audienced poems. It has been read in turn as a children’s fairy tale and adult erotic fantasy. This paper shows that in Rossetti’s narrative poem the biblical episode of the Fall is permeated by a Pre-Raphaelite form of sensuousness. All the ambivalence of the text stems from its apparent hesitation overcoming temptation, and celebrating the delights the very possibility of temptation offers. A stylistic analysis of key extracts would suggest that the evocation of the Original Sin makes for unprecedented writing creativity. Through her two feminine characters, Lizzie who resists temptation and her sister Laura who succumbs to it, Rossetti subtly adumbrates a discourse on feminine desire. The structure of the verse conveys the dialectic interdependence between expression and repression, overflow and barrier, which mirrors the inner contradictions of passion. Finally this article argues that the poem dreams up the possibility of going beyond the innocence/experience polar opposition through a fall into a second innocence.

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.
