The term "recant" in literature is predominantly used to highlight the tension between personal conviction and external coercion, especially in a religious or political context. In many historical works, such as Foxe’s Book of Martyrs ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]), it encapsulates forced renunciations under the threat of dire consequences—ranging from imprisonment to execution—emphasizing the brutal measures taken to enforce doctrinal conformity. In contrast, authors like Thomas Carlyle ([20], [21], [22], [23]) and even Thackeray ([24]) or the literary experiment of James Joyce in Ulysses ([25]) use the term not only to depict the act of public retraction but also as a vehicle to critique the suppression of dissenting ideas and the often ironic circumstances that compel individuals to betray their deeply held beliefs.
