Spheres of Action: Speech and Performance in Romantic Culture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ten essays, presented by Dick (English, U. of British Columbia, Canada) and Esterhammer (English, U. of Zurich, Switzerland), explore the culture of British romanticism in terms of intersections between language and performativity. The contributions are organized into two sections: "Public Speaking," which focuses on language and its interconnections to physical spaces, media, and institutions in which words have their effect, and "Body Language," where interpretations of material performance and bodily action occur within verbal and ideological context. Specific topics include the materiality of the lecture venues of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the performative mode of composition of the lectures; the elegiac style of William Wordsworth as a performative genre that promotes the authority of a subjective voice through the material power of writing and printing; performative aspects of parody in Percy Bysshe Shelley's The Cenci and in contemporary blasphemy trials; the implications of material performance in the "theaters" of the stage, the House of Commons, the salon, and the sporting arena; the ways Romantic drama thematized action and performativity; cross-dressing and the performativity of gender in comic plays by women; and the role of body language in the construction of the foreign and the domestic in Madame de Staël's Corinne and Lord Byron's Don Juan.

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.
