Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Robert Southwell’s understanding of the eucharist both informs his poetry and explains its significant influence on early modern English devotional poetry. Southwell inaugurated a tradition in English lyric poetry of figuring the “consecration” of poetry for religious use as a eucharistic transformation. This analogy has implications for early modern poetic accounts of subjectivity, and how those accounts fit into existing narratives of literary history. Southwell intends his work to have a pastoral function for his Recusant readership, acting as a temporary substitute for the transubstantiated host. The essay situates this pastoral function as it relates to the “typological” subjectivity developed in the Tridentine Missal, examining Southwell’s eucharistic account of subjectivity with particular focus on his long poem, St. Peter’s Complaint.

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.
