Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores the acts of mourning for John of Gaunt’s first wife, Blanche. It places Geoffrey Chaucer’s mourning poem, The Book of the Duchess, in a broader historical context with the material object of the tomb in Saint Paul’s and the performative rites that attended not only her funeral but also the subsequent anniversaries of her death. Elizabeth Edwards argues that all three formed part of the “work of mourning,” a Freudian term that encapsulates not only the medieval concept of consolatio but also the political, social, and economic labour performed by public mourning such as John of Gaunt’s for Blanche.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
