“Close together, though miles and miles apart”: Family, Distance, and Emotion in the Letters of the Taylor Sisters, 1881-1921
Bibliographic record
Abstract
L’auteur analyse ici les lettres que se sont échangées pendant près de 60 ans cinq sœurs établies dans trois pays. Nées à Kingston (Canada-Ouest) entre 1851 et 1861, Elizabeth (Lizzie), Anna, Caroline (Carrie), Jane, and Susanna (Susie) Taylor ont passé une bonne partie de leur vie à se déplacer entre diverses parties de l’Amérique du Nord. En 1882, Susie s’en alla vivre en Islande, où elle demeura le reste de sa vie. Les lettres qu’elle a reçues de ses sœurs rendent compte de l’évolution de leurs relations au fur et à mesure que le temps et la distance rendaient leur séparation permanente; elles donnent aussi une idée des pensées, des sentiments et des expériences de proches parentes vivant dans des conditions sociales et économiques très différentes les unes des autres. Le caractère hautement personnel de bon nombre de lettres laisse entrevoir les moyens par lesquels les sœurs ont tenté de repousser les limites du médium à leur disposition afin de préserver un sentiment de lien affectif.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
