Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A small but significant number of the Renaissance plays which take women as their main characters focus in particular on the position of women in the eyes of the law. This is partly because the rise of the theatres coincided (perhaps not incidentally) with that of the Inns of Court. Young men from the Inns of Court were well known as regular attenders at the theatres, and a considerable number of those who wrote for the stage, including Beaumont, Fletcher, Marston, Webster and Ford, had had a legal training and were thus particularly well placed to appreciate the considerable dramatic mileage to be had from the antagonistic structures of forensic drama. (Indeed contemporary legal training often required role play.) It was not only the structures of the law that allowed for a number of dramatic possibilities, however; specific laws also offered scope for a pointed exploration of cultural pressure points, particularly in regard to biologically based views of gender.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
