Kunstmatige creatie en voortplanting in laat-Victoriaanse korte fictie
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis investigates the connections between creativity and childbirth in fin-de-siècle short fiction. It questions how late-Victorian perceptions of gender, sexuality, science, and art informed the fashion in which artificial and biological creation were represented in the literature of the time. The corpus under consideration includes short stories and novellas by H. G. Wells, R. L. Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Machen, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, and James Matthew Barrie. These narratives are characterised by a choreography of association and dissociation between the spheres of artificial creation and procreation. They also depict the act of conception as a strictly autonomous - and masculine - endeavour. Arguably, these representations are indicative of various socio-political, aesthetic, and philosophical stakes at play during the fin de siècle, as men's and women's abilities to conceive - in the broad sense of the term - are being (re-)defined. This study combines several theoretical frameworks, including gender studies, cultural studies, and short fiction theory, in order to identify the different threads of reflection interwoven around the question of creation, its value and function, in literature and beyond.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
