Abstract
We can thank Robert Darnton for the attention given nowadays to France's Grub Street, the clandestine writers of the eighteenth-century whom puritanical critics kept out of sight. In recent years we have witnessed the rediscovery of eccentric figures such as Fougeret de Monbron (1706–1760), and, with increasing regularity, the defrocked Jesuit Henri-Joseph Dulaurens (1719–1793): my own edition of Dulaurens's Candide, second partie appeared in 2003 (University of Exeter Press), and Stéphan Pascau has since published two hefty volumes devoted to his life and works. Didier Gambert's imposing and expensively produced critical edition of Dulaurens's best-known novel Le Compère Mathieu (1766) is a worthy tribute to a writer unmentioned in standard anthologies of eighteenth-century literature. In his Introduction, Gambert tells us that Diderot thought highly of Le Compère Mathieu and that he compared Dulaurens favourably with Rabelais. Voltaire, on the other hand, considered it a poor imitation of his own Candide...

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.
