Abstract
Reading literature has long been viewed as an escape from the body, an edifying removal from the immediacy of experience and a necessary check on essentialism. This essay reconsiders that truism by charting the relationship between the body of a scholar and the body of her work, a journey that begins with the advent of the Iraq War and the intention to make the war present to American students by teaching the representation of war in the literature of the eighteenth century, a period of nearly continuous military conflict. That focus leads to the reframing of the value of literature as connected to its refusal to ignore bodily vulnerabilities, insights informed by the recent growth in disability studies, body studies, and trauma theory as well as the writer’s own awareness of her body’s vulnerabilities. The essay concludes by arguing that scholars can engage the materiality of bodies without forfeiting historicity or the storied virtues of literary “disinterestedness,” and that bodies matter when we read, particularly to the bodies that read in the here and now.

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.
