Abstract
When Sarah Siddons (1755–1831) returned to the stage in 1816 for two command performances in the role of Lady Macbeth, her body, at the age of fifty-seven, was already in an advanced state of decrepitude. Most critics writing about Siddons focus on only William Hazlitt’s “goddess,” one of the greatest actresses to grace the British stage. Focusing on the decaying body of the actress and on the melancholic sense of loss that haunts many of the essays, news paper articles, and biographies written on Siddons, I argue that the actress functioned as a kind of cipher through which to filter Romantic preoccupations with mortality and the aging self. Siddons’s iconic status clashed with the aesthetic of authenticity she cultivated, making her into a living effigy of the self. In the face of her visible decline, her biographers strove to breathe new life into the ephemeral body theatric and indemnify for all time what Anna Seward termed “the dignity of the Siddonian form.”

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.
