Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Sidney’s poems are found in fifteen manuscripts. The Clifford MS, compiled in 1581, and the Bodleian MS, compiled later but before Astrophil and Stella in 1582, contain the poems published by Mary Sidney in 1598. The manuscripts include radically different verse arrangements. Is there an obvious ‘idea or fore-conceit’ to either of these works? The theoretical problems involved in reading poems in sequence provide a context in which to consider Sidney’s comments in The Defence of Poesy where he considers the excellence of three mid-Tudor verse compilations that employ what he calls ‘poetical sinews [ … ] ordering at the first what should be at the last’. This criterion, among others in the Defence, provide the basis for a close reading of the various structural and thematic links in the Clifford and the Bodleian manuscripts and suggest how their architektonike trajectories lead naturally to the composition of Astrophil and Stella in 1582.

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.
